Weststar Associates Limited has introduced another first-class sport utility vehicle, the 2013 GL, to the Nigeria market.
The authorised Mercedes dealer in Nigeria says the manufacturer has added value to the new GL-Class at no extra cost.
The Chief Executive Officer, Weststar Associates, Mr. Mirko Plath, says that users of the GL-Class will enjoy a great deal of benefits which are not available in its competitors.
Plath offers an insight into the eternal features of the luxury vehicle.
For instance, he says, for on-road and off-road use, the car has an extended range of standard equipment.
The extensive standard equipment includes a number of comfort details such as electric sliding sunroof and electrically operated easy-pack tailgate.
It is also equipped with an easy entry system for convenient access to the third row of seats from both sides, with a high-insulation windscreen or electromechanical steering.
In the interior, the scope of standard equipment comprises a colour screen with photo-realistic display and dashboard finished in Artico man-made leather.
Additional safety comes courtesy of the now standard assistance systems – the new generation of the GL supports the driver with the Collision Prevention Assist, collision warning system, and Attention Assist drowsiness detection system.
Plath also says one of the new GL’s innovations is the standard-fit Cross-wind Assist, which helps the driver by targeted brake actuation if the vehicle is affected by sudden crosswinds.
He says, “The GL 500 4matic Blue-efficiency in particular offers Active Parking Assist including Parktronic, the Intelligent Light System, the Keyless-Go access and drive authorisation system, 3-zone Thermotronic automatic climate control and multi-contour leather seats for driver and front passenger including massage function. Not to be overlooked as part of the added-value details fitted as standard are also the new engines.
They boast better performance with increased output and torque, while at the same time enabling a reduction in consumption levels of up to 20 per cent to be achieved”.
The V8 petrol model, the GL 500 4matic Blue-efficiency, produces 320 kW (435 hp) and powerful torque levels of 700 Nm while consuming just 11.3 l/100 km.
“GL customers will also be delighted with the exceptional capabilities of the vehicle when it comes to driving off the beaten track too,” he adds.
