The new generation M-Class is available with a choice of V6 or V8 power. Under the hood of the ML350 is a new generation 3.5-liter, four-valve-per-cylinder V6 engine delivering 268 horsepower and 258-lb.ft. of torque. The ML500 is powered by a five-liter V8 engine with 302-horsepower and 339-lb.ft. of torque.
New and useful technology abounds in the M-Class, including a standard seven-speed automatic transmission, an effective full-time four-wheel-drive system and optional features such as height-adjustable air suspension. A revised four-wheel traction control system now incorporates functions such as downhill speed regulation and off-road performance optimization.
