2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The M-Class SUV is the original luxury sport utility in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Comfortably sized, it seats five with room for plenty of luggage, drives like a sedan, and is a capable off-roader. For 2012 the M-Class has been completely redesigned.

All models are equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission and electronically managed 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The ML350 BlueTEC is powered by a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 generating an upgraded 240 horsepower. The ML350 is powered by Mercedes-Benz' latest-generation 3.5-liter gasoline V6, also upgraded, generating 302 horsepower. The ML550 and ML63 AMG will not be available until 2012, the rear-wheel drive ML350 in 2013. The extensively equipped M-Class includes standard features such as stability control and active front head restraints, as well as front, side, side curtain, and driver knee airbags.
