The last Mercedes of the Russian assembly de Yura were not Mercedes

The Motor managed to find out that the GLS crossovers from the plant near Moscow in Esipovo were deprived of the brand at all. We are talking about the latest machines assembled in 2024 from the remnants of machine tools: due to restrictions on the side of the head office, crossovers could not assign an original identification number. From the situation came out in an unusual way.

The domestic Mercedes-Benz GLS sample of 2024 were sold at quite market prices: the GLS 400 D version cost about 19 million rubles. But the documents were waiting for a surprise: identification numbers from the pool EDM167923RA00 **** mean that de jure Mercedes are not these machines! At the traffic police base, the cars that have already been registered pass as “without brand” MB GLS 400 D 4Matic.

The Mercedes-Benz GLS Test Mercedes-Benz Gls Mercedes will get rid of two models and complete a long-term partnership.

“Real” remained the body number: it is the same as that of the VIN code of the usual “dosancation” Mercedes-Benz GLS of the Russian assembly (Z9M1679235L01 ****). For comparison, the identification number of the “global” crossovers begins with the characters W1N167923. Another nuance of the latest Russian machines is a prerestyled assembly at 2024 years of release, although an update took place in the world in 2023.

What other nuances can be with cars collected from the remnants of components is an open question. But, for example, BMW disowned from cars secretly assembled in Russia: a German concern believes that cars assembled from machine -offices remaining since 2022 should never be equated with official models.
