Mercedes-Benz M-class
Background, features, pricing, and specifications for the Mercedes-Benz M-Class Sport Utility Vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz is a German automobile producer that has built its reputation with a blend of quality luxury and performance vehicles. Over the years, Mercedes-Benz has continually redesigned its older models while adding innovative new models to stay competitive. Recent additions to the line-up are the M-class sport utility vehicles - this includes the ML350 and the ML500.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the M-class SUVs when 'SUV' was a fairly new term; since then, the body style has become increasingly popular. The M-series vehicles don't have the typical rugged sport utility appearance, but are refined and simply styled with sleek clean curves.
The professionals at Edmunds, www.edmunds.com, are refreshed by the M-class's styling and like its variety of safety features, ability to handle in poor weather, and user-friendly navigation system. However, they are disappointed in the lack of a third-row seat option, and the high price.
Notable Features:
- 3.5 liter V6 engine with 268 horsepower or 5.0 liter V8 engine with 302 horsepower
- Hands-free communication system
- Navigation update program
- Tele Aid
- 7-speed automatic transmission with Direct Select
- Column-mounted shifter
- Full-time 4-wheel drive
- Burl walnut wood trim
- Input jack for MP3/iPod connection
The 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-class SUVs start at $40,525.
