Road Test: Mercedes-Benz M-Class (2005-)

Sporting 4x4s	by: John Simister


Mercedes-Benz M-Class Gallery

4CAR RATING:

Assets
Massively improved interior quality, good ride on-road, potentially capable off-road, refined and punchy diesel V6

Drawbacks
Feels slow-witted in bends, petrol V6 is disappointing, mushy brakes, not very roomy, expensive

Verdict
Much better than the old M-Class, but no class leader. ML320 CDI is the one to have.
