Enthuasists may cringe at the term crossover, but the Mercedes-Benz
GLA-class is not the bloated people carrier usually associated with
that word. Despite being marketed as an SUV, it鈥檚 really more of a
sport-oriented hatchback with a slightly increased ride height. And
although it has been refreshed for the 2018 model year, its core values
remain intact鈥攚hy change what works? Updates to the 2018 GLA-class
amount to little more than a light freshening. Newly optional LED
headlamps flank a restyled grille with crossbars that feature
rectangular punctures like those on the larger GLS-class SUV. A revised
front bumper with more-prominent fog lamps, revised LED taillights, and
new wheel designs round out the exterior tweaks. Inside, an 8.0-inch
infotainment screen replaces last year鈥檚 7.0-incher; additional
chrome brightwork adorns the door panels and the center console; and
new, more legible black-faced gauges replace the 2017鈥檚 gray-faced
units. A backup camera is now standard, and the power rear liftgate can
be opened or closed with a quick wave of your foot under the bumper, so
long as the key fob is in your pocket. Android Auto joins the
connectivity party as part of the Smartphone Integration package that
previously included only Apple CarPlay.

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video
above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car. Adding
engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) to your 2007 Mercedes-Benz
ML350 is pretty easy. Engine coolant circulates through your engine to
keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. Make sure to
check your engine when it is cold for an accurate reading. The video
above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your ML350 is located
and how to add coolant. Be sure to check your owners manual to
determine the correct type of fluid to add - for Mercedes-Benzs, it
will typically be in a section titled Fluid Capacities in the back of
your manual. Mix the coolant with distilled water so that you have a
combination of 50% coolant and 50% water. Some coolants will come
premixed-that is, you don't need to add any water.

In the past, Amp has converted only General Motors passenger cars,
primarily the Chevrolet Equinox crossover.. The Mercedes-Benz ML鈥檚
proportions are similar to those of the Equinox, which helped in the
conversion, particularly to house the company鈥檚 900-pound battery
unit. 鈥淲e retained a split battery pack to keep the weight balance
about equal to the original manufacturer鈥檚 specification,鈥?said
Steve Burns, president and co-founder of Amp, in a telephone interview.
The ML鈥檚 global distribution was also a consideration for Amp. 鈥淚t鈥
檚 a world car, so it鈥檚 already passed Euro and U.S. Amp is not
committing exclusively to the ML as its future platform, nor is it
trying to lock up a contract with one battery supplier (Mr. Burns
declined to name the current supplier of its batteries). This is an
advantage of the company鈥檚 business model, Mr. Burns said. 鈥淲e have
a five-year contract, so you can imagine what batteries will do during
that time,鈥?he said. Though primarily an electricity provider,
Northern Lights will function as a distribution channel for the Amp
vehicles. Mr. Gislason is working to secure orders from companies,
municipalities and individual buyers in Iceland, who, according to Mr.
Gislason, should be easy quarry. 8 a gallon right now, and Iceland has
low import taxes on E.V.鈥檚,鈥?he said in a telephone interview. 鈥淎
Mercedes S.U.V. would be basically the same price to import, plus you鈥
檇 have to purchase gas. Iceland also generates much of its electricity
through geothermal and hydroelectric sources, which increases the cost
benefit of E.V. The utility鈥檚 agreement with Amp is not exclusive, so
Northern Lights could conceivably become partners with other E.V.
However, Mr. Gislason does not expect that to occur soon. 鈥淎mp can
deliver us cars. Today, they gave us a real car.
