Sep 5, 2018 - Mercedes-Benz Trucks unveils the brand's new flagship. The new Actros is a truck featuring pioneering innovations which immediately pay off.
First things first, the air intakes bear a different design from the pre-facelift, as does the grille. The headlights on this particular prototype aren’t new, and neither are the taillights or rear bumper. By the time the redesigned V-Class goes official for the 2019 model year, the aesthetic makeover in the said areas will become obvious.
The introduction of the all-new Sprinter will see the V-Class adopt a handful of latest-gen technology. MBUX infotainment, the Mercedes-Benz Pro suite, and driver-assist features are expected from the facelift, with the passenger versions of the V-Class further foreseen to benefit from new seats and retuned suspension.
Manufactured at the Vitoria-Gasteiz plant in the Basque Country, Spain, the W447 will soldier on with the Mercedes-Benz OM 651 turbo diesel. The 2,143-cc engine develops 100 kW (136 metric horsepower) and 330 Nm (243 pound-feet) of torque in the manual transmission-equipped V 200 d. Moving on up to the V 250 d, the drivetrain is upgraded to the 7G-Tronic Plus automatic box, and engine output is rated at 140 kW (190 PS) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft).
Along with the V-Class, the facelifted W447 will be extended to the Marco Polo series of camper vans. The V-Class in both panel van and passenger-oriented forms is available in the United States of America as the Metris. In this part of the world, the W447 is offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder good for 208 horsepower (211 PS).
- 2019 GLS-Class is available
- Unadvertised incentive remains
- Lease: From $839/mo.
- Financing: No APR deals
2020 GLS-Class may get a redesign
Mercedes dealers stock fewer GLS-Class models than its other SUVs, leading to tighter inventory and higher prices.
The carryover 2019 GLS-Class is in showrooms now, and Mercedes renewed all its deals again in June.
We expect the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class to get a redesign that includes a new look, a larger body, more leg room, a mild-hybrid V8 powertrain, and more driver-assist features, like stop-and-go adaptive cruise control.
Current offers are available nationwide and expire on July 1, 2019.
We expect no new offers on the GLS-Class for Independence Day.
Unadvertised incentive continues:
Mercedes is not big on handing rebates to customers. Instead, it prefers to use behind-the-scenes discounts to help dealers move inventory.
The 2019 GLS-Class continues with the same $2,000 unadvertised incentive as before. This offer is not guaranteed, as dealers can do as they please with these discounts -- even keep them as profit -- so shop around for the best offer.
Lease from $839 per month:
The 2019 GLS450's leases start from $839 per month with $6,843 due at signing. The 2019 GLS550 starts from $1,249 per month with $7,323 due at signing.
With effective monthly costs starting at $1,029, the 2019 GLS-Class' lease offers are not good values for their MSRPs.
No APR deals:
Mercedes offers no APR deals on the 2019 GLS-Class, but you may get attractive financing at the dealership level from independent lenders.
