The innovative Sports Tourer concept developed by
Mercedes-Benz is becoming more and more versatile.
At the Paris Motor
Show the Stuttgart brand is presenting a study for this future-oriented
touring car in two variants for the first time: the European version of
the "Vision R" Grand Sports Tourer is now joined by the new "Vision B"
Compact Sports Tourer. Mercedes-Benz is thereby underlining the
potential of this vehicle concept for a new model family.
The Grand
Sports Tourer "Vision R", which Mercedes-Benz is presenting in its
European version with a wheelbase of 2980 millimetres in Paris, is
designed as a 4+2-seater. The passengers have the benefit of
comfortable, single seats and a level of spaciousness which exceeds that
of many a luxury saloon. Tasteful appointments with fine leather and
decorative trim of ash-wood and aluminium contribute to the feel-good
atmosphere in the spacious interior.
Thanks to
four-wheel drive, air suspension and the powerful new V6 diesel engine,
the large Sports Tourer has everything needed for dynamic driving
pleasure. Equipped with the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic
transmission, the 160-kW/218-hp six-cylinder powerplant consumes less
than nine litres of fuel per 100 kilometres. The exhaust emissions meet
the EU-4 standards, and the additive-free particulate filter system
developed by Mercedes-Benz also reduces soot emissions.
Thanks to
its intelligent concept, the Compact Sports Tourer "Vision B" is
likewise in a class of its own. Arranging the engine and transmission
partly in front of and partly beneath the passenger cell - according to
the sandwich principle – gives this all-new touring car the interior
spaciousness of larger saloons and estates despite its compact external
dimensions.
The compact
Sports Tourer is powered by a new four-cylinder diesel engine with an
output of 103 kW/140 hp and a highly respectable torque of 300 Newton
metres. Other equally impressive attributes are a fuel consumption of
less than six litres per 100 kilometres and exhaust emissions at EU-4
levels. A diesel particulate filter is also included.
