Mercedes ML 2011

[Ruben99]

Estes são os primeiros Spyshots do futuro ML para 2011

Ende 2011 wird die nächste Generation der Mercedes M-Klasse fertig. Der W166 kommt schon zum Modellstart als Hybrid, wird noch eine Spur softer und soll vor allem auf der Straße eine gute Figur machen.

Von Jochen Knecht Seit Jahren sprechen Experten vom nahenden Ende der SUV-Dinosaurier. Zu groß, zu teuer, zu durstig. Das mag ja alles stimmen – die Einladungen zur finalen SUV-Beerdingung bleiben aber auch in den nächsten Jahren noch in der Schublade. Ganz sicher. Denn die oft kritisierten Allrad-Monster sind hart im Nehmen. Und vor allem wandlungsfähig. Bestes Beispiel: die Mercedes M-Klasse. 1997 mehr oder weniger als Nutzfahrzeug gestartet, ist der ML längst in der SUV-Gegenwart angekommen. In den USA gibt's den W164 als Hybrid, in Europa zumindest in Verbindung mit supersparsamen Dieselmotoren.

Im Überblick: Alles News und Test zur Mercedes M-Klasse

Keine schöne Entwicklung für Allrad-Puristen, die hauptsächlich Zugmaschinen fürs Grobe brauchen – dafür aber für den Rest der allradfahrenden Zielgruppe. Die will schlicht einen großen Allradler, mit dem Mann und Maus auch am Wochenende entspannt in die Sommerfrische entschwinden können, ohne gleich vor jedem ausgefahrenen Feldweg kapitulieren zu müssen. Entsprechend planen die Schwaben auch die M-Klasse-Zukunft. "Softroader" lautet das Zauberwort, das in Stuttgart mit Blick auf den intern W166 genannten ML zu hören ist. Was da ab Spätsommer 2011 als M-Klasse bei den Mercedes-Händlern stehen wird, soll optisch noch freundlicher aussehen als bisher und auf kantiges SUV-Design weitgehend verzichten.

Ruben99, leste-me os pensamentos. Ia abrir este tópico no fds.
Eis a informação que tinha e vou, então, partilhar convosco para enriquecer o tópico.

Terceira geração que contará com as novas inovações tecnológicas da marca e novos motores. Poderá vir a ser apresentado já em meados do próximo ano.

The biggest premiere of the years to come will be the third generation of the popular M-Klasse mid-sized SUV. The ML will be unveiled in 2011, some say at the middle of the year, others claim the end of it.

As you may already know, the ML, along with its bigger brother, the GL- and the R-Klasse, is assembled at the Tuscaloosa Plant in Alabama, USA. The on-going worldwide economical crisis has determined a reduction in the number of examples produced at the US facility by almost a half, from 130,000 down to 71,000. However, this drastic marketing manouevre will not ruin a bright lifespan for the W 166, the internal designation of the new M-Klasse. Dr. Thomas Weber, chief of the Research & Development Department at Mercedes-Benz, claims that the future ML will be part of the extensive hybrid programme the company will implement on all the models in its automotive lineup. Almost all the versions of this SUV will feature a hybrid powertrain in the next configuration:diesel unit or petrol burner + electric motor + start/stop system + brake energy recovery + electrically-assisted servo variable steering.

Many of the technical components used for the construction of W 166 will be shared with other Mercedes-Benz models, so this immediately means the overall weight of the car will not grow that much, compared to the current model, and last, but not least, will contribute heavily to cost saving. The entry-level hybrid version will be the ML 320 CDI HYBRID, powered by a 2,2 litres 4I diesel + the electric motor producing 20 HP. Other hybrids to come are:

- the ML 400 HYBRID - a 3.5 litres V6 petrol powerplant delivering 306 BHP, linked with a 20 HP electric unit.
- the ML 63 AMG HYBRID – the new 5.4 litres twin-turbo V8 engine capable of 544 BHP + the same electric motor
- the full hybrid ML 500 HYBRID – previewed last year at the IAA in the form of the VISION S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID concept, this completely new version will feature a 306 BHP V6 petrol-running unit, in pair with a 109 HP electric unit

There will also be conventional powering variants to choose from:

- ML 250 CDI BLUETEC - 204 BHP
- ML 350 CDI BLUETEC – 245 BHP
- ML 300 CGI – 306 BHP V6
- ML 450 – 408 BHP V8
- ML 500 - 435 BHP V8

Sticking to the visual side of the car, the 2012 M-Klasse will be more of a logical aesthetical evolution rather than a complete revolution. The new front fascia will be styled in trend with the new Mercedes design philosophy. The profile will remain as sporty and elegant as in the present, whereas the tail end will receive a complete styling treatment a la E-Klasse. LEDs are sort of a today’s ‘must’, so expect to see them as being part of the headlights and the rear lights. The overall exterior dimensions will not grow significantly, but the new ML will indeed be slightly longer than the outgoing model, although the spy photos we have seen so far are misleading and can trick the unexperienced viewers into seeing a shorter car.

(Foto-espia?)

However, the interior of the new ML-Klasse will be roomier(it is still unknown if the car will return to the 7-seat architecture of the first generation) and will be subject of a major change-a completely revised, very dynamic and attractive dashboard will kindly receive its passengers in an exquisite, premium atmosphere, created by an abundance of high-quality materials:leather upholstery in many colour combinations, a great deal of wood or aluminium for the trim and soft, nice-to-touch and visually-pleasant plastics. The new ML will use the three-spoke steering that debuted on the new E-Klasse, as well as some of the buttons, such as the manual control panel for the infotainment system. Speaking about this, the new unit, supervising almost every tiny corner of the car, will be the long-awaited myCOMAND(previewed in 2008, at the Mondial de l’Automobile in Paris, on the ConceptFASCINATION prototype model), with wireless internet capability and an ultra-friendly user interface, containing new or enhanced functions. As expected, the LED display of the myCOMAND will be encased in the upper part of the center console.

The active & pasive safety package offered for the new ML will include many airbags and intelligent self-tensioning seat belts for protecting all the passengers inside the car, and the new assistance systems that were premiered in 2009-Lane Keeping ASSIST, Night View ASSIST Plus(with pedestrian recognition module), Blind Spot ASSIST or Speed Limit ASSIST, the recently prize-awarded ATTENTION ASSIST, and PRE-SAFE.

Although the ML is an SUV, this car has never ever dissapointed its customers when it came to tackling hard, off-road terrains. That is why the Mercedes-Benz engineers are currently working on developing a new, more sophisticated 4MATIC all-wheel-drive architecture, along with the introduction of a clever management system, that enables the driver to adventure on almost any existing surface(tarmac, gravel, snow, sand, rocky paths and others). It is best to mention that the new M-Klasse could also be offered in RWD-only version, as in the case of the GLK-Klasse or the R-Klasse.

faz me lembrar o dodge journey ...

[caditonuno]

azul marinho? eu vejo um azul muito clarinho, a fugir para o verde água. tonalidades...

e sim, parece, de traseira, um dodge journey. ainda há bocado vi um e realmente é parecido.

[BLADERUNNER]

Parece-me que estas podem ser fotos oficiais (pelo menos a do interior, na sequência de uma que coloquei num post anterior, poderá ser a confirmação do interior dessa mesma foto).

[neldsc]

Realmente os interiores estão mais bonitos que os do actual ML, vamos lá ver se aumentaram a qulidade de alguns materiais.

[Ruben99]

Olha um tópico criado por mim

O interior tirando aquelas madeiras deve ficar bonito ..

Obrigado BLAD pelo contributo

Ora bem, estas imagens já mostram praticamente todo o perfil do carro e a forma dos grupos ópticos tanto frontais como traseiros.

Os motores esperados para este carro são um 3.0 V6 a diesel, um 3.5 V6 a gasolina e um 5.5 V8 no topo da gama que, suponho que seja aquela AMG, se é que não vai ser a versão AMG deste veículo.
Segundo consta, a marca também planeia lançar uma versão híbrida deste mastodonte.

While the exterior is mostly déjà vu, the interior will be completely redesigned with high quality materials. As previous spy photos have shown, the cabin will have a new COMAND system, a revised steering wheel, additional wood trim, and plenty of metallic accents.

Under the hood, engine options are expected to include a 306 PS (225 kW / 302 hp) 3.5-liter V6, a 435 PS (320 kW / 429 hp) 4.6-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter diesel that develops 265 PS (195 kW / 262 hp). If those choices aren't enough, the ML63 AMG is slated to use a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 with 544 PS (400 kW / 536 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque.

The 2012 Mercedes M-Class is set to be unveiled later this year, possibly at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

O que se vê:

• condutas de ar nos pára-choques da frente;
• saídas de ar no capot;
• discos de travão de tamanho considerável na frente;
• jantes AMG.

Este ML63 trará um V8 twin-turbo que, segundo o fotógrafo, tem um som atraente. A ser este o motor, este é o V8 com 5,5 litros de cilindrada bi-turbo montado no S63 AMG. Deverá ter 563cv e 900Nm com o Pack Performance, sem este, deverá ter 536cv e 800Nm de binário. A caixa deverá ser a Speedshift MCT transmission de 7 velocidades.

Totalmente descoberto, ainda que só desse para ver a traseira (feia e sem evolução significativa)

[Jnicolau]

ao ver essa traseira lembrei me logo disto..

[xeLa]

... e algo estranho, supostamente, estas fotos são recentes, no entanto, para além de já termos vistos fotos com a traseira a descoberto e fotos com o farolins cobertos, aqui voltamos a ver um com camuflagem igual à do primeiro post... sendo fotografado outro sem essa camuflagem. As fotos são na Alemanha.

Se os farois traseiros ficarem assim, perde um futuro cliente ( se ganhar o euromilhões, casar com uma ricaça ou assaltar um banco...)

Soa-me que ainda durante esta semana iremos ter aqui toda a informação e imagens do novo ML.
Para já, aqui ficam as primeiras imagens do SUV para a gente poder falar mal (já que do Sócrates já não dá para falar mal, porque já era).
