Wild ML 63 AMG. Performance fans are catered for by a pair of petrol engines, in the ML500 and ML 63 AMG hot rod. Running costs are predictably severe, but the red hot AMG model will find favour with those looking for extra bling and a wonderful V8 roar. The Mercedes M Class is a competent performer on the road, with a surprisingly taut chassis for such a big car. It corners flatly, but suffers with steering vaguer than its key rival, the BMW X5.


This can be addressed by specifying AirMATIC sports suspension, which adjusts the suspension, steering and gearshift patterns depending on whether Sport, normal or Comfort settings are selected.
With standard suspension, the ride can get upset by broken roads, while AirMATIC in its normal setting is a little more comfortable, but allows a little too much lateral movement. Comfort is too floaty for some, although very smooth, while Sport firms everything up for a more focussed drive.


The steering sharpens in Sport, but still lacks the feel afforded by the likes of the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne. Handles well on- and off-road. The Mercedes M Class is also an impressive performer off road. We put the ML320 CDI through its paces on a very wet, slippery mud track, and despite its 20-inch wheels and road tyres, it was able to haul itself up some fairly challenging terrain. Our off-road test car wasn t fitted with the optional off road pack, which includes low-range gear ratios and height-adjustable suspension, but coped admirably. All models are fitted with Mercedes  7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, driving all four wheels
Externally, the facelift Mercedes ML is distinguished by new bumpers, lights, and grille and alloy wheels. The SE has 18- or 19-inch alloys depending on the engine chosen, black roof rails, tinted tail lights, larger automatic dimming and folding mirrors, black grille with chrome trim, twin exhaust pipes and a front cosmetic underguard, a powered tailgate, rain-sensing wipers and front and rear Parktronic parking sensors.


Inside it features a new multi-function steering wheel with new paddle shifters, new heated front seats with four-way electric lumbar support, dimming rear-view mirror and Mercedes  Audio 20 audio system with telematics, keypad, Bluetooth and aux-in connectivity.
It s a surprise genuine leather isn t available for a $40,000-plus car, instead sporting Artico man-made leather upholstery covering the seats and door linings.


As times change and tastes evolve, people still want what they consider to be premium manufactured automobiles because that is what they feel represents them best. Mercedes is still the brand that drivers look to when it comes to delivering luxury performance and refined style in one package. Always a name in the highest demand, it is the level of engineering that makes up the bulk of what separates Mercedes from most everyone else, but its emphasis on the detail and textures within the interior that has managed to attract prospective drivers as well.
