Martin-Wagner Auto GmbH Official Press Event
Since 1960, Martin-Wagner’s compact family car, the Stratus is known for it’s dependability and superb comfort. We keep improving the concept to it’s best. Selling more than 20 million units, the Stratus is one of Germany’s most well-known products to date.
And today, we can prove the legendary Stratus is still alive and kicking. Now in it’s 8th generation, the Stratus is still improving, not just to it’s limits, but tries to overtake them.
The all-new Martin-Wagner Stratus. One of a kind.
The new Stratus is designed from the ground up, with an all-new design, and it still has the qualities of Martin-Wagner’s cars. it’s svelte lines and a more futuristic look can even shame some luxury cars. Now with an improved interior, and loaded with the latest technology and safety, derived from no other than Ursula, the new Stratus is the car for the next generation.
With the help of Ursula’s proven Ursula Advanced Modular Platform (UAMP) the new Stratus is lighter than it’s predecessor, effectively improves it’s proven handling. The engines are much more fuel efficient thanks to the latest TXi and DXi-T technology. And for the first time, an all-electric version, the Stratus E-Force, is also planned for production, giving buyers a new choice for green motoring.
Currently, only 3 different petrol engines, and a diesel engine are released, ranging from a 1.2 L4 to an 1.8 L4 with various tunes to suit everyone’s needs. A 1.6 turbocharged diesel engine is also coming, but only on Europe and Middle East. Later, a 2.5 turbocharged diesel is also planned, as well as an-all electric version. As for high-performance models, they will come too, but stay tuned for more info about them.
