www.bahrainthismonth.com November 2013 111 Mercedes-Benz now comprises four models, ranging from the compact GLK right up to the mighty G-Wagen, representing some of the finest Mercedes models produced to date. This collection combines exceptional levels of comfort and luxury with the added space and practicality afforded by an SUV. “Our modern line of SUVs has many features to demonstrate and is now definitely considered a strong competitor in the four-wheel-drive market,” says Graeme Newport, general manager at Al Haddad Motors. “The off-road heritage, from the original G-Class, has been combined with the luxury and buildquality found in our sedans.” GLK-Class The ‘baby’ of the range, the new compact GLK250 and GLK350 CUVs boast newly designed headlamps and offer even greater practicality and quality. The seven-speed automatic transmission is complemented by an AMG exterior sports package and is available with both four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. ML-Class Mercedes’ mid-size SUVs, the ML500 and ML350, are the benchmark of the brand’s safety concept. Every trip is a relaxing experience which can be enjoyed from the high driving position that offers a commanding view, on or off the road. Highlights include the AMG exterior sports package, COMAND Online, blind spot assist and a panoramic sunroof. The SUVs are available in V6, V8 and AMG variants. GL-Class The largest of the whole range, the full-size GL500 is manufactured to the highest standards of automotive exclusivity. A seven-seater vehicle, it is impressive and sophisticated and comes with an AMG exterior package, intelligent light system, blind spot assist, lane keeping assist and many more features. The 435hp V8 engine delivers power through a seven-speed automatic transmission, offering an adventurous and comfortable experience. G-Class Standing apart in the range, the mighty G-Wagen is the quintessential Mercedes SUV. Originally produced as a light-armoured patrol vehicle for armies around the world, it was then released as a hugely versatile and capable civilian off-roader that has now developed something of a cult following. The current model is drastically different to its ancestor in terms of technology, refinement and luxury, but it still shares the same DNA and heritage as that classic Mercedes SUV. The recent introductions of the hugely popular G63AMG and G65AMG variants into the local market have only enhanced this vehicle’s grip on a rapidly expanding segment. The G500 variant will be available later this year. E Call 17 785-454.
