14 Wednesday April 15 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Bigger is better for Mercedes-Benz SUV WHEN I first drove the GLS series Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle several years ago, I commented on its size, it was big at around 4.7m, the dimensions translating to considerable internal space. The GLS has undergone a transformation and, remarkably, it is now even bigger thanks to a wheelbase increase, the seven-seat sport utility vehicle now sits at over 5.2m, making it one of the biggest SUVs in the New Zealand market. The benefit is that all occupants can travel in genuine comfort, the rear seat area is more than just something you load the kids into, adults can be seated there with reasonable freedom. If you don’t use the rear row of seats frequently, they fold down to offer a cavernous load area, and depending on how you have the seats configured, load space relates to 470-litres to 1350-litres to 2400-litres. It’s this kind of capability that makes SUVs what they are and why they are so popular, the GLS is the perfect vehicle for those who have a sizeable family and want to travel in luxury and grace. However, bear in mind that the GLS 400d in this form is a pricey beast, it will set you back $168,500 in standard form. The GLS 400d is powered by Mercedes-Benz’s new generation inline six-cylinder diesel. The turbocharged unit is rated at 243kW with an amazing 700Nm of torque; as a consequence, the 3-litre unit has all of the wonderful mid-range power attributes that makes diesel so appealing as a fuel. The engine is a powerhouse through the whole acceleration process, it will cut out a standstill to 100km/h time of 5.1sec, and will make 120km/h from 80km/h in 3.9sec. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters working on a nine-speed automatic gearbox will assist the driver if he/she decides to take control over the acceleration process. MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 400D: A styling upgrade makes for a dynamic visual presence. It wouldn’t be a worldclass diesel engine unless you get the benefits of thrifty fuel usage, and that is certainly the case in the 400d. It is rated with a 7.7-litre per 100km combined cycle average. At 100km/h the engine works over leisurely at just 1300rpm, returning a 6.1l/100km instantaneous figure. • Price – Mercedes- Benz GLS 400d, $168,500 • Dimensions – Length, 5214mm; width, 2006mm; height, 1823mm • Configuration – Sixcylinder, four-wheeldrive, 2925cc, 243kW, 700Nm, nine-speed automatic. • Performance – 0-100km/h, 5.1sec • Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km TECHNOLOGY: The Mercedes-Benz GLS 400D has had a boost in power for 2020. These figures are quite remarkable for a vehicle which weighs in quite tubby at 2724kg, but the point is the engineering that is coming out of the Mercedes-Benz factories at the moment, especially those with diesel power, are at the forefront of technology, and the 400d is just one example of performance and economy all rolled into one. The GLS 400d is built with air suspension which provides sublime ride quality over uneven surfaces, it just seems to float over the bumps, generating just a little jiggle if the ruts are extreme – and there are plenty of those in Canterbury. However, the GLS is engineered for comfort, and there doesn’t seem to be anything you can throw at the big SUV that will upset it. Of course, power is channelled through to all four wheels and it’s interesting to note that Mercedes- Benz offer an optional off-roadpackage for this car. With 199mm of ground clearance in standard form, it does lend itself to a crosscountry challenge, if you are brave enough to risk a luxury vehicle on those bush-lined off-the-seal journeys. As you would expect from Mercedes-Benz, the GLS is full of luxury appointments, it has the kit to make you feel you have bought a lot of car, and there is so much safety specification it will allow all occupants to travel with the knowledge they have state-of-the art protection systems. The GLS 400d is just another example of what makes Mercedes-Benz so desirable as a manufacturer. It might not be the most suitable vehicle for the school run or for tackling that tight city metered car park, but the reality is it is a sport utility that offers so much desirability in other areas, and it makes a powerful statement. The styling upgrade for 2020 also makes for a dynamic visual presence.
