Why Glider?
BharatBenz introduced the “Glider” and Glider Z, a 16-ton luxury coach with a body constructed by the biggest bodybuilder in the nation, MG Group, and a chassis from BharatBenz. Gliders offers a high-end vacation experience at a reasonable cost. The Mercedes Benz OM906 platform’s 235 horsepower front engine powers the car. The driver and passengers are kept comfortable by the engine-driven compressor, broad windows for a panoramic view, roof-mounted air conditioning, and well-developed engineering.
