To celebrate the arrival of the new 2012 M-Class in Britain, Mercedes-Benz is launching two special edition versions of its luxury SUV, based on the diesel-powered ML 250 BlueTEC (204hp) and ML 350 BlueTEC (258hp), with on-the-road prices set at £43,235 and £46,335 respectively.
On the outside, the Special Edition ML models get aluminum-finish running boards with rubber studs, chrome underguards in the front and rear bumpers, 19-inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, and the Mirror Package that includes electrically operated, heated, folding and auto-dimming door mirrors.
Buyers can choose from three standard and one optional (Diamond White, priced at £815) metallic finishes.
Inside, both models get Artico artificial leather upholstery in a choice of three colours and the option of full leather for £1,305, and brushed aluminum trim highlights or, optionally, four wood finishes priced at £210-£380.
Other standard features include a Multi-function four-spoke steering wheel in Nappa leather, front seats with full electric adjustment and four-way lumbar adjustment on the driver’s side, and an ‘Audi’ 20 radio/CD system with a 5.8-inch colour display, Becker Map Pilot satellite navigation, Bluetooth and a USB port.
Additionally, those that place their orders before the end of June 2012, will be able to order the Mercedes-Benz COMAND Online internet connectivity system as an option for £750, saving £1,380 off the regular price.
