For 2008 Mercedes {link} are face lifting 5 models and introducing one completely new model. Face lifts start with the CLS, SLK and SL models in early spring. Summer sees both the A Class and B Class getting face lifts with the final face lift of the year coming in the autumn for the ML model range. Mercedes launch their new GLK SUV model range as winter 2008 starts.
The new Mercedes Bluetec C Class debuts in 2008, first in V6, then 4-cylinder diesel form. Mercedes Bluetec models are optimised to return the best possible emission and fuel consumption figures through filters, catalysts and electronics.
The face lifting of the SLK is less dramatic that that undertaken on the SL range. The SLK gets subtle styling alterations combined with minor technical improvements. The SL, meanwhile, undergoes a great, more dramatic transformation. Mercedes have changed the front of the SL completely as well as altering the rear lights too. Mechanically the face lifted SL range is topped by the 6.2 litre V8 engine which replaces the old 5.5 litre supercharged engine of the current model.
New for 2008 is the Mercedes GLK the company’s small SUV, although small remains a relative term. Using a selection of 4 and 6 cylinder engines and electronically distributed four-wheel drive the GLK is expected to offer serious competition to the new Audi Q5 and BMW’s X3 and X5.
