Mercedes sets sights on SUV segment

Locally produced GLK Grand Edition will be launched at Beijing Auto Show.

All-new ML 63 AMG

Equipped with an exciting technology package, the all-new ML 63 AMG stands for enhanced efficiency and performance, exclusivity, and a superlative driving experience.

The vehicle comes with an AMG 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, enabling acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, or 4.7 seconds with the optional AMG Performance Package.

The new active curve system for active roll stabilization works in conjunction with AMG's ride control technology to enhance agility and driving enjoyment as well as improve driving stability.

With its AMG body styling, the ML 63 AMG features larger light-alloy wheels and decals emblazoned with the words "V8 Biturbo" to identify itself as the flagship AMG model of its class. Sportiness and premium quality define the interior of this high-performance SUV.

The ML 63 AMG further enriches the lineup of the M-Class, which has been well received by Chinese customers since it first entered the market in 2007. China is now the second largest market for the M-Class worldwide.

GLK Grand Edition

The GLK is extremely popular with customers and has become one of the best-selling SUVs.

As Mercedes-Benz's first SUV produced in China for the country's premium SUV market, the GLK Grand Edition further enhances the automaker's competitiveness in the nation's mid-sized luxury SUV segment, which is now the second largest market for the GLK worldwide.

A series of new features has been added to the three new Grand Edition models: the GLK 300 4MATIC Dynamic Grand Edition, GLK 300 4MATIC Style Grand Edition and the GLK 300 4MATIC Luxury Grand Edition, all of which are priced competitively to thank Chinese customers for their support.

Equipped with 4MATIC all-wheel-drive and a retuned engine that generates more power output, the new GLK 300 Grand Edition delivers excellent on-road performance and off-road capability.

Developed based on the attractive configuration of its predecessor, the GLK 300 Grand Edition adds new features for increased comfort. The "Grand Edition" badge on its exterior highlights the model's exclusivity.
