Mercedes-Benz Cars New Zealand is attending the National Fieldays for the first time in 2017, displaying the new G-Professional Cab Chassis for its inaugural public appearance.
Mercedes-Benz Vans will also be showcasing a preview of the all-new X-Class pick up, in virtual reality.
The G-Professional Cab Chassis is built at the same facility as the G-Class off-roader and leverages decades of continuous improvement of the mighty “G-wagen’s” off-road capability to bring a new level of heavy lifting to the Cab Chassis market.
It has a 2,085kg payload (4,490 kg GVM) and will reach more places with the help of a reinforced chassis and suspension.
The 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine powering the G 300 CDI Professional produces 135kW at 3800rpm and 400Nm from 1600 to 2000 rpm, sending power via a five-speed automatic transmission, and three independent centre and diff locks.
“The National Fieldays is undoubtedly one of New Zealand’s largest, and most important industry focussed events, and we feel that the rugged and versatile G-Professional is sure to generate considerable interest with the agriculturally centred audience,” says Mercedes-Benz Cars New Zealand general manager Ben Giffen.
The new G-Professional G 300 CDI Cab Chassis retails from $129,900.
