Renowned German tuner Brabus unveils at the Essien Motor Show a new tuning package dedicated to Mercedes M-Class. Aesthetically, the model receives a new front splitter, bigger side skirts, and a re-designed rear bumper with integrated diffuser and mufflers. Ride height can be lowered by 30 mm on the models equipped with the conventional steel suspension, whereas those equipped with Airmatic air suspension can go down by a further 10 mm. Brabus also offers its own line of alloys for the tuning ranging from 18″ to 22″, while a rear spoiler for the hatch will become available in the near future.


The engine has been enhanced with Brabus ECO PowerXtra D6S kit, which boosts the 258 hp/620Nm (457 lb/ft) output of the standard 3.0-litre diesel unit to 306 hp at 3,600 rpm and 690 Nm (509 lb/ft) of peak torque, available between 1,600 and 2,400 rpm. The move provides the car with a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of just 6.0 seconds, exactly 1.4 seconds less than the standard model, while top speed increases to 229 km/h (142 mph).


Inside the most distinctive features of the Mercedes M-Class by Brabus include leather and Alcantara finishing, wood and carbon-fiber trim, bi-color stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit Brabus logo and matt-anodized aluminum pedals, although the tuner offers plenty of options for its cabin’s customization.
