M-class
The new M-class will be shown at January's Detroit show before reaching the UK in the middle of next year. This time, it's engineered to a tougher standard, ditching the ladder-frame chassis in preference to the unitary body construction used by the X5/Touareg/Cayenne.
New engines include four-valve-per-cylinder V6 and V8 engines, ranging from a 245bhp 3.5 petrol all the way up to a 300bhp 4.4-litre diesel with a gut-wrenching 516lb ft of torque. An AMG version will run a new 500bhp naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8.
The M will use a single short-wheelbase four-wheel-drive platform, shared with the Euro R-class.
