Bendix has continued to expand its premium Euro+™ range for European vehicles, launching new brake pad variations for both early and late model BMW, Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen passenger cars.
Euro+™ disc brake pads offer superior braking for European vehicles, delivering smooth, responsive and predictable pedal feel, combined with low dust generation that helps keep rims cleaner. Euro+™ brake pads are also engineered as an OE replacement, with their performance meeting – and in most cases exceeding – OE equivalents.
Other benefits include noise absorbing shims for a quieter drive and Bendix’s ‘Blue Titanium Stripe’ which provides the ideal rotor to pad surface combination, ensuring optimum stopping power from the outset without bedding in, saving installation time.
The latest Euro+™ additions include options for A and C-Class, GLC and GLE Mercedes Benz, along with selected Volkswagen Golf and BMW X1 variants.
BMW
For the BMW marque, new front Euro+™ brake pad options are now available for 2023 model year X1 (U11) cars with 335mm rotors, and for those with 307mm rotors (without the M Sport package). There’s also a new rear pad variant for both these models.
Mercedes Benz
Owners of earlier 2013 A-Class (W176) cars without the AMG brake package will also benefit from the release of front Euro+™ pads, while the 2013 C-Class (W205, A205 and S205) without AMG brake package is catered to as well in the latest release. Still on C-Class, 2021 (W206) models are also covered, with front options for vehicles with and without sports brake systems.
Turning to the Mercedes Benz SUV ranges, new Euro+™ front pads have been released for 2019 GLC models (X253 and C253) along with rear options for the larger GLE – here 2018 (V167) without the AMG brake package, and 2019 model year (C167 and V167) variants fitted with the AMG brake package, are now covered.
Volkswagen
Rounding out the latest Euro+™ brake pad update are rear options for 2020 model year (MK8) Volkswagen Golf, where options have been released for PR, 1KD, 1KF, 1KI, 1KJ, 1KK and 1KY variants with 310mm rotors, along with PR, 1KE, 2EJ and 2EC with smaller 272mm rotors.
Bendix’s Euro+™ brake pad range will continue to expand in the months ahead.
