NBK Automobiles launches new Mercedes-Benz V-Class

Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, launched the new Mercedes-Benz V-Class in Qatar at the Hospitality Qatar exhibition held recently in Qatar.The vehicle is available at the Mercedes-Benz showroom on Salwa Road.The Stuttgart-based designers of the Mercedes-Benz V-Class have revealed “an impressive new look of the passenger family car, which is now available with a revised front-end design, exterior colours, updated interior and a range of cutting-edge driver assistance features”, a press statement notes.With a redesigned front bumper, the V-Class appears wider by incorporating a broad intake into the lower fascia – an optional AMG Line Package is now available with a new, chrome-accented, diamond radiator grille offering a sportier appearance.The interior of the new V-Class focuses on passenger comfort with a simpler, elegant design with new upholstery and trim options.Building on its position as a class leader in safety, new Active Brake Assist and Highbeam Assist Plus features are now available.Sheikh Faleh bin Nawaf al-Thani, operations director (Auto) at Nasser Bin Khaled Group, said: “We are proud to introduce the new V-Class in Qatar, the luxurious and ideal vehicle for both private and business owners to meet their needs and business demands.“This comes within our steady growth and ambitious plans for next year and the years to come.”Ihab El-Feky, chief operations officer (Automotive) at Nasser Bin Khaled Group, added: “The new V-Class builds upon the style and appeal that has led the way within the MPV segment, while maintaining the Mercedes-Benz standards of quality and robustness.“With an updated look and feel, the new V-Class is a powerful and dynamic vehicle that we’re confident will continue to fascinate our customers.”The new V-Class has “a broader appearance and an even stronger visual presence” thanks to its new front end.This comes courtesy of a new bumper design with striking cooling air inlets and an AMG Line with a new diamond structure in the radiator grille.The personalisation concept with the AVANTGARDE and EXCLUSIVE lines continues to exist, while the AMG line is available as a complement to any of the V-Class lines and features a new diamond radiator grille with chrome pins.In the interior, too, the designers have ensured that the design philosophy of the current Mercedes-Benz passenger car models is transposed into the new V-Class.The interior of the new V-Class follows the trend of modernity and clarity, with new air vents in a more-sporty turbine look as well as new dials in the instrument cluster.As part of the facelift, rear passengers can enjoy an especially comfortable space.The optionally available luxury seats for the first rear row are a real treat and, just like in the S-Class, they offer a fully reclining function, back massage and climatisation.New safety features can be ordered optionally and continue to build on the Mercedes-Benz V-Class position as a leader for safety standards in its segment.The new (optional) Active Brake Assist can recognise when there is a risk of collision with a vehicle ahead and gives an initial visual and acoustic signal.In addition, the Active Brake Assist can break autonomously up to standstill, if the driver does not react independently and adequately.In urban traffic, the Active Brake Assist can also react to stationery obstacles or pedestrians crossing.Another new (optional) safety feature is the Highbeam Assist Plus.It supports the driver in the high-beam mode through a continuous illumination of the lane.The already successful safety features continue to remain – Crosswind Assist, which supports the driver in keeping the vehicle on track even in the case of heavy crosswinds, and Attention Assist, which can detect when drivers start to become drowsy and prompt them to take a break when needed.
