Mercedes-Benz ML320


Mercedes-Benz ML320 CDI - 2007 Review: There's a fight brewing between environmentally conscious car buyers. In one corner you have hybrid enthusiasts. Clean and electric, they tout their cars' fuel efficiency and technology. They also get nifty stickers that let them drive alone in carpool lanes.

In the opposing corner you have diesel. Once dismissed in the U.S. as too noisy, stinky, sooty and costly, new diesel technology from Europe is once again gaining traction. New diesels have lower emissions than gasoline, and new technology combined with cleaner U.S. diesel fuel is spurring a resurgence of interest in the technology.

For now, diesel passenger cars in the U.S. are almost exclusively European in origin, and one brand that is most strongly associated with the fuel is Mercedes-Benz. We drove a Bluetec E320 not too long ago and were generally impressed with the new-tech solution to the age old problems of diesel soot and odor. Mercedes has also applied an older diesel technology to its M-Class crossovers. Redesigned with sharp new clothes a couple years ago, the ML is already a class leader. With diesel technology under the hood, we wanted to know if it was a technology and environmental leader as well.

Mercedes-Benz Carlsson CK63S


Carlsson have launched their tuning package for Mercedes-Benz C-class C 63 AMG, the Carlsson CK63S. The Carlsson CK63S is powered by a 565 hp (415 kW) out of the 6.3 litre V8. This is nearly a quarter more output than the AMG engine which provides 457 hp (336 kW) out of the same cubic capacity.

Mercedes-Benz E Class W212


The new Carlsson W212 for 2010 Mercedes-Benz E Class aerodynamics kit which has been elaborately developed by head designer Rolf Schepp, immediately attracts the attention. The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz E Class has an entirely newly designed front apron with vertically adjusted xenon-light LED daylight running lights and a stainless steel grid under the gracefully built radiator grill.

Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG


The Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG now demonstrates even more emphatically its exceptional status as the performance SUV with the largest displacement and highest output. The new AMG front apron is an eye-catching feature with its high-gloss, chromed underguard. The lower cooling air inlet appears even larger thanks to the central black grille. New-look headlamps flank the equally new AMG-specific radiator grille: painted in high-gloss black, its three radiator louvres feature chrome highlights. Round fog lamps set well to the outside with chrome surrounds and the flared wheel arches in the body colour make the flagship M?Class appear even wider and more muscular.

Even more unmistakable, even more powerful: this philosophy is also continued at the rear. The high-gloss, chromed underguard is the undoubted highlight on the equally new AMG rear apron with integrated reflectors. Further visual highlights include the two chromed twin tailpipes on the AMG sports exhaust system. The dark-tinted tail lights are replaced with LED tail lights with their clear-glass look if the optional bi-xenon headlamps are specified. New-look exterior mirrors as well as the standard-fit aluminium-look roof rails add the finishing touches to the styling modifications.

Viewed from the side, the new 20-inch 5-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels make a bold statement. Painted titanium grey with a high-sheen finish, the 10-inch tyres are shod with 295/40 R 20 tyres front and rear. An even more impressive wheel/tyre combination is available as an option: titanium-grey-painted, high-sheen 21-inch AMG light-alloy wheels with the new twin-spoke styling are shod with 295/35 R 21 tyres.

The new AMG ergonomic steering wheel stands out in the practical, high-quality interior of ML 63 AMG: perforated leather adorns the specially shaped grip area, while the bottom two spokes are finished with a silver-coloured insert. New AMG aluminium shift paddles allow the driver to shift gear manually. A nappa leather-trimmed dashboard is also available as an option.
