New Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV

Mercedes-Benz has released some initial details about their third-generation M-Class which sets a new benchmark in the SUV market. Average fuel consumption across the range has been improved by an average of 25 per cent and CO2 emission figures are equally as impressive as well.

At launch there will be three models available with the likely popular company car favourite being the ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC (diesel) which offers 47.0 combined mpg, CO2 emissions of 158g/km, 204bhp,  a 0-62mph time of 9.0 seconds and a top speed of 130mph.

There is also a new ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC  (V6 diesel) offering you 41.5 combined mpg, CO2 emissions of 179g/km, 258bhp,  a 0-62mph time of 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 139mph. Finally the petrol engine model is the ML350 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY offering 33.2 combined mpg, CO2 emissions of 199g/km, 306bhp, a  0-62mph time of 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 146mph.

All cars have the permanent 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system improving performance in both on and off-road and a high standard specification is also promised too. Full UK pricing and vehicle specifications are yet to be announced and the new cars will go on sale in the spring of 2012.

Mercedes-Benz van range

Mercedes-Benz is taking their new generation of cleaner, greener and more fuel efficient vans to the CV Show 2011, which is being held at the NEC in Birmingham between the 12th-14th April. Highlighting the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle range on show will be the Mercedes-Benz Vito E-CELL, the whisper-quiet electric van.

Mercedes-Benz will also have the eco-friendly Euro 5-engined 113CDI BlueEFFICIENCY on their stand and a natural gas-powered Sprinter 316 NGT (which can use liquid biothemane from organic waste), which emits practically no emissions. In addition they will also be showing greener versions of their truck range (3.5 tonnes plus) as well.

Ian Jones, Managing Director Commercial Vehicles for Mercedes-Benz UK commented, “Britain needs trucks and vans, and can’t manage without them- and with growing concerns over the environment, we need to make sure that our industry impact continues to diminish, with the ultimate goal of an emissions-free transport future”.
