Mercedes M-Class Coupe

A streamlined and aggressive car body, almost 5 meters long

4.94 meters long, 2.21 m wide well, 1.74 m high and with a wheelbase of 2.91 m, the car boasts measures far more generous than those offered in the X6, to the benefit of versatility and roominess inside. As mentioned above, the new model should keep the fascinating and futuristic car body of the prototype seen in the Chinese capital, characterized by a massive front, featuring a large front grille and generous air intakes finished with honeycomb grids.

The rear view will be appreciated particularly inclined to the rear window that touches the headlights that stretch horizontally in a single solution. The Teutonic SUV also will feature a long bonnet featuring two deep ribs, coupled with sculpted sides, able to boast a very high beltline and the presence of two doors on each side, as opposed to a direct competitor to the BMW House, with only one door per side.

The interior of the M-Class Coupe will be greatly appreciated due to the elegance and luxury of its components and its finishes. The car should also receive the latest generation of the sophisticated Mercedes Comand infotainment system, also used on the latest Mercedes C-Class and V Class and combined with the new touch-pad installed on the center console.

Turbocharged power units and 9-speed automatic transmission

The enormous size of the car will be powered by the mighty 3.0-liter petrol V6, with twin turbocharger, capable of developing 333 hp and 480 Nm of torque available between 1,400 rpm and over 4,000 rev / min. Lots of power gets on the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive, through the use of dual-clutch 9G-Tronic Plus gearbox, with nine reports. In a second step, the range of ML Coupe will be expanded by the high-performance variant signed by AMG Atelier, armed with a powerful V8 bi-turbo 5.5-liter, capable of a peak power output of 525 hp.

Mercedes GLA 250 4Matic

The GLA has a design that is much more balanced and harmonious than the A Class. An important fact is that it is slightly elevated (4cm), has impressive protectors, on the front, back and side, more bloated bumpers and different luminaires. Although GLA and Class A have the same wheelbase (2,7 m), the one on GLA that is 10cm longer, is significantly more comfortable on the street. This is probably due to the weight distribution between the two axles and the setup of the suspension system.

The small SUV of Mercedes (its full range also includes the GLK, ML, GL and the G) has a McPherson strut front and a multi- link on the rear. The setup of the suspension in GLA 250 4matic tested had 235/40/18 Conti Contact 5 tires and really was perfect. If someone wants something more off-road than the mormal urban use, in the rich list of extras  you can find the special adjustable suspension for off road comfort.

The interior of the car, familiar to us from the A Class and CLA, is more comfortable, especially in height. What’s more, it’s impressive for a four-wheel drive model to have this kind of flexibility to change course that easily as it does. This of course is due to the electronic management of AWD . The all-wheel drive (4MATIC) with multi-plate clutch center carries up to 50 % of torque to the rear axle only when needed.

The two-liter 211PS engine is a benchmark in its class for the ratio of performance/ consumption it presents. In practice, the driver enjoys spectacular economy moving in daily rhythms of the city or the suburbs. But when found in provincial uphill path and choose the Sport mapping, the GLA is then transforms. This relatively lightweight (1.500 kg) four-wheel drive SUV takes off. You can feel the power of the engine to 140 – 200km / h and the feeling you get is great.
