Mercedes' third generation M-Class demonstrated that big SUVs could still be a responsible choice - and a lot more besides. Beautifully made, quietly capable and state of the art in every conceivable way, it redefined the way we looked at the luxury 4x4.
It wouldn't stride across hostile terrain quite like a Range Rover or power around a track quite like a BMW X5, but that wasn't a problem. Mercedes intentionally set out to offer more of a middle ground between those two extremes and, to a large extent, succeeded. Specified for off-road use, it would deliver the mud-plugging prowess to suit any right-minded user. Yet, with AirMATIC suspension, it would ride like a Roller.
Let's summarise what this car won't do: stride across the Gobi desert quite like a Range Rover Sport. Or power round Brands Hatch quite like a BMW X5. But that's not a problem: this third generation M-Class, after all, intentionally set out to offer more of a middle ground between these two extremes and it's a place in which this model feels far more comfortable. Find a used example specified for off road use and it'll deliver mud-plugging prowess expert enough to suit any right-minded user. Get one specified with AirMATIC suspension and it'll ride like a Rolls Royce. Or find an example specified with the clever Active Curve System and you'll get a luxury SUV able to corner like a grown-up hot hatch.
All these things are possible from a car that shows just how far the modern luxury SUV has come - not least in its eco-friendliness. Mercedes set the standard when it came to running cost efficiency with this MK3 model and it was one that caused plenty of head-scratching amongst the brand's closest rivals. There are sportier, more dynamic-looking models of this kind you could buy. But we're struggling to think of a better all-round package. Refined, practical and luxurious, this model at last became a benchmark among its peers. And that makes it a very strong used car buy.

The 350 Diesel is sublime . It eats up the kms and doesn't baulk at an uphill

[@anonanon1047]

Still a very good car to this day, looks great in silver and used prices are great value for money practical

[@johnmerryman1825]

I have a 2013 ML350 BlueTec and it has been a fantastic car. Bought it used and it has been superb. Comfortable, reliable, great to drive.

[@bradh6185]

Congrats. Would you say the driver's seat will accommodate larger people?

[@mercedeslife1454]

How many kms your car have?

[@Lovsnow]

@@mercedeslife1454 130k

[@vecamiolo]

I also have this same great car with 40k miles.

[@Lovsnow]

@@bradh6185I would say yes

[@FleetAdmiral215]

I've had my 2015 ML250 W166 5 years & it's Brilliant ! , Very well made , Great handling, Comfortable, Very Reliable & Quick & Frugal, I'd buy another in a heartbeat!

[@thayalansuntharalingam]

Def systems are easy to maintain?

[@Plusbacau]

What is the real consumption?

[@MegaPaidika]

Owning an 2014 ML250 Diesel was the smartest decision I’ve ever made

[@geoffnoyes520]

The Car and driving team thankfully continue to produce top notch reviews with excellent presentation, information, and filming technique, while showcasing the beauty of English countryside and small towns. Well done, and much enjoyed. From Geoff in Feilding New Zealand:)

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thank you Geoff!

[@Molloy1951]

It impresses me how common the absence of sunroofs in SUVs in the UK is. In the US, Mercedes SUVs without a sunroof are relatively rare.

[@quintonbreitmeier4777]

Because there's no sun in the UK

[@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions]

​@@quintonbreitmeier4777lol yeah

[@yankee2yankee216]

My very low mileage, 2015 GLK350 was delivered today, and I love it! The reason I mention it is that it has the same drivetrain as the ML350, a 3.5L V6 making 302HP, a 7-speed automatic transmission, and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The GLK is quite a bit smaller than the M-Class car, so it is also quite a bit quicker…

[@GrandpaWazi]

I have a 2014 43k ML350 4matic on the way. Should get it in a week or two. Scored on a mispriced car on carmax. Hit prequalify before they fixed it and they agreed to match the original price I saw it at as I had already been approved for the loan on it at the original price.

[@jcheck6]

Love my 2012 ML.

[@SG-rp3ft]

Great review- LOVE THE ML CLASS

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@austinaig150]

Thank you for the analysis given but how about ML500 4matic 2016?

[@David-lh9wh]

There is no 2016. 15' was the last year.

[@lksf9820]

I didn't think adaptive damping was fitted as standard across the range, ours doesn't seem to have it. It's odd how you tell us how much to pay for all the extras and say you can specify this that and the other as if it's a new car review. It's a 10+yr old used car.

[@roi3761]

Love my 2009 ML AMG 6.3 Mercedes last naturally aspirated V-8 kicking out 503 hp. Bad ass , can hang with sport cars AND can carry passengers with their luggage while doing it. Mercedes all day , baby !

[@rip4273]

Wonderful review. Great car the W166 series.

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad you liked it!

[@amenx]

Any info on the 2015 ml 400

[@clarencejulien28]

Great review….

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thanks!

[@CarlosGarcia-ij4yg]

Is the gasoline (petrol) model just as good?

[@Aldekein]

This review is really comprehensive!

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thank you!

[@lordabhikingfisher8087]

M Class 2011-2015 is bullet proof. Don't forget to change oil every 5K (with low ash oil if you have diesel). Also, if you have Diesel, change PVC, fuel filler, transmission fluid and orange rubber gasket on turbo intake every 5 years and you are good for ever.

[@amenx]

What about the 2015 ml 400

[@iamgermane]

That is not large. That is midsize in the USA. Compare to Hyndai Santa Fe.

[@thayalansuntharalingam]

Mercedes made in USA are good.

[@iloveswiss7004]

😢

[@johnsmart2616]

I had one of these and the build was crap, the electrics were not good the seats burnt out TWICE. Never bought a Mercedes again ,stuck with them from a E230 to E300TDI 7 altogether and the build went down hill on every one

[@johnsmart2616]

Well I've read all the above . My wife who I bought this car for told me if she had used it for a day she would never have let me buy it. You all must be easily pleased or just like the name Mercedes. The name to me is cheap and greedy mass produced tat.

[@Silu848]

What were your main concerns?

[@kosiekoos9408]

Ur miss take😂choose women wisely😂

[@michaelgraham2347]

Get a cherokee and save your money same junk

[@MarioDarnadi]

Lol not the same
