Mercedes-Benz has recently reinvigorated its range of SUVs that carries the carmaker’s proprietary 4Matic all-wheel drive system. Now comprising of the G, GLA, GLC, GLE, GLE Coupe and GLS, the German marque is more than eager to demonstrate what their new SUVs are capable of with an assault on the Schöckl Mountain in Austria.
First up, the video introduces us to the vehicles that will be making the charge up the mountain (minus the GLA and GLS), beginning with the facelifted G 350 d. Fitted a 3.0 litre V6 turbodiesel, the G 350 d packs 245 hp and 600 Nm.
Moving on from the highly recognisable G-Class to the new-generation of Mercedes-Benz SUVs, the GLC 250 d is up next. The replacement for the GLK rides on the same Modular Rear Architecture that underpins the the new W205 C-Class and carries a 2.1 litre diesel engine with 204 hp and 500 Nm.
Next up is the both the GLE and GLE Coupe in 350 d guise, each powered by a 3.0 litre V6 turbodiesel engine that provides 258 hp and 620 Nm of torque. Of course, every Mercedes-Benz SUV shown here features the brand’s 4Matic all-wheel drive system.
Now that we’ve been introduced to the current crop of Mercedes-Benz SUVs, the video moves on to the vehicles making their way up the mountain with the most rugged-looking of the bunch, the G 350 d leading the way.
Halfway through however, the lead Mercedes-Benz SUV deviates from the three other vehicles in a “shortest route vs fastest route” comparison, with the G 350 d tackling harsher terrain as compared to the new-gen Mercedes SUVs.
Nonetheless, by the end of the video, all four vehicles are reunited at a picturesque site as a mark that Mercedes-Benz SUVs can perform on the road and when the road ends as well.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is expected to introduce its range of new-generation SUVs later this month, with the GLC, GLE and GLE Coupe set to debut during the January 15-17, 2016 weekend. Which one tickles your fancy the most?

Mercedes suv is a joke. Cayenne or X6, nothing more nothing less.
Director has a similar style as Michael Bay. Feels like a scene from the Transformers rollout.
