When you are travelling in the M-Class you experience more than just a trip from A to B: you experience driving pleasure at its best. It’s all down to various components that bring dynamism to every road: the V6 and V8 diesel and petrol engines accelerate with muscle, but are still impressively comfortable.

With DIRECT SELECT you can use the selector lever behind the steering wheel to change gears, or you can shift the gears manually using the paddles on the steering wheel. Perfect roadholding characteristics are achieved with the optional AIRMATIC package (standard for ML 500) which includes AIRMATIC air suspension and the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) for sporty handling with impressive comfort.
