An update to the Atego range in 2005 enhanced the appeal of the model. giving much better in-cab comfort for drivers thanks to new dash and interior trim bringing Actros quality levels to the mid-range sector. Three levels of cab trim are now on offer— distribution, long distance and comfort — with the spec level rising through the range. The exterior of the cab received a tweak at the same time to set the range apart from the 'old' model.
A new 215hp version of the new 4.8-litre 0M924 engine. saving 100kg over the equivalent 230hp rating from a six-cylinder engine, gives the 7.5-tanner a power boost and the performance of the top rated four-pot ensures last journey times.
The Alego range now spans the 6.5to 15-tonne GVW sector with power options from 121-275hp. Transmission choice is between five-. sixand nine-speed Mercedes-built gearboxes, with sixspeed auto box fully available, though at a price premium of £1.753.
In terms of driveability and cab comfort the Atego forces its way toward the top of this com
petitive sector, though it struggles to compete on unladen weight when compared to the likes of the LF45 and the Eurocargo.
