| | More dynamic, more powerful and with even more style |
November 3, 2008 - Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Limited has officially launched the new generation M-Class. The new generation of the dynamic, stylish SUV now has even more distinctive characteristics, and looks even sportier and more powerful.
Mercedes-Benz has now substantially upgraded the new-generation M-Class with fresh styling touches, even higher quality and extensively enhanced equipment and appointments. The premium SUV now looks even more powerful and sportier, making a bolder statement in terms of character and presence.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class is the trendsetter among today's SUVs. Its exceptional status is down to its characteristic dynamic, stylish design, a combination of compelling performance both on and off-road, the ride comfort and ease of operation of a saloon, along with a high perceived value. The M-Class also comes with a range of safety features that are unsurpassed in the SUV segment. Buyers have also come to appreciate these outstanding qualities. The state-of-the-art off-roader remains one of the most successful vehicles in this rapidly growing market segment. |
| Added character and style for the exterior |
| The front end of this off-roader is now defined by a redesigned bumper, recontoured Bi-xenon headlamps and a larger, even more dominant radiator. The rear view also has a new-look bumper with integrated reflector, emphasising the vehicle's width and LED tail lights with clear-glass look. Stylistic fine-tuning and new high-grade materials which are pleasing to the eye and touch combine with a new two-tone colour scheme to add fresh highlights to the interior. Moreover, the eye is immediately drawn to the new four-spoke multifunction steering wheel. The M-Class standard specification has also been significantly upgraded. It now includes the unique anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE® and NECK-PRO head restraints as standard, and an all-new, high-performance telematics system developed by Mercedes-Benz, which is now even much easier to use thanks to a host of new functions. The Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG is also set to become even more distinctive and striking, courtesy of new front and rear aprons with a chromed underguard, and a larger AMG radiator grille. |
| Interior with high-grade appointments |
The interior of the new-generation, state-of-the-art off-roader has been stylishly upgraded with high-quality materials. The door lining is now trimmed in ARTICO man-made leather. In the enhanced interior the eye is also drawn to the new, four-spoke leather multifunction steering wheel with its chrome trim, improved ease of operation and standard-fit shift paddles. The seats have a more attractive, sportier design and can be fitted with four-way lumbar support (optional for ML 350).
The new-generation M-Class features a brand new telematics generation developed by Mercedes-Benz, offering a new dimension in user-friendliness, high performance and a host of useful new functions. Integrated features include a hands-free system based on Bluetooth technology, and an aux-in connection for mobile audio devices such as an iPod®.
The occupants are also able to enjoy a surround-sound experience of concert hall quality with the latest generation of the optional Harman Kardon® Logic7® sound system, which delivers exceptionally crystal-clear listening pleasure.
Rear-seat passengers also have the option of a new entertainment system with two large 8-inch screens, a centrally integrated DVD player, two sets of wireless headphones for greater freedom of movement as well as two remote controls. |
| Fuel consumption reduced by up to 0.4 litres per 100 kilometres |
The M-Class is powered by powerful yet economical V6 and V8 petrol engines, which are now even more fuel-efficient. The 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive delivers outstanding performance both on and off-road. And the standard-fit 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission with optimised shift characteristics translates the power from the engines into refined dynamism.
The new generation M-Class offers Sports Version and Luxury Version. Moreover, the most powerful engine developing 510 hp is available in the guise of the ML 63 AMG 4MATIC.
