Owners of either the Mercedes GL 420 CDI or ML 420 CDI looking to add a
substantial boost in power to their SUV without sacrificing their diesel
powerplant's trademark fuel efficiency and strong pulling power will be
pleased to hear that Brabus recently debuted a new tuning package for the
two aforementioned models, titled the PowerXtra D8 (III) tuning kit.
Boasting an increase in power of 44 hp / 32.4 kW and 100 Nm torque, the
PowerXtra D8 kit boosts the two 420 CDI models from 306 hp / 225 kW to 350
hp / 257 kW at just 3,800 rpm, while peak torque grows from 700 Nm to 800
Nm. As a result, the ML 420 CDI's 0-62 mph time is reduced from 6.5 to
6.0 seconds, while the GL 420 CDI 0-62 mph drops from 7.6 to 7.1 seconds.
On both models, top speed also increases 6.2 mph. Read more
