Mercedes M-Class Development, testing, and production

[@taffy7hfa897]

I have a 2002 w 163ML 270cdi easily one of the best cars I have owned , Love it !

[@sassanettekal1490]

I own a 2005 ML500 special edition for about 10 years now and dollar for dollar its the best car on the road today. its Safe, Powerful, Capable.

[@davidhall3747]

Out of my fleet of Vehicles- my 1998 ML 320 is my favorite one to Drive. Its so fun- and handles superbly.

[@АлександрВасильков-з4о]

When I drive self W 163 , I feel a happy ! Mercedes this not simple car , this is a SYMBOL of EPOCH ....Salute from VLadivostok !

[@cyronader]

Bought my ML320 in December 12, 2000. Still running strong with only 57,000 miles on it. Only changed fuel pump once.

[@princemr1878]

+cyronader NICE!!

[@mortensenvick5711]

do you still have it? my uncle still have his audi allroad 2.7T from 2001

[@janceret353]

10:10 When we had an 2004 ML 270 back in the UK, in the middle of the night, my dad pulled over to a service station. My mom and dad slept at the front of the car sitting up, when me and my two brothers slept at the back with the seats folded down. Great car!

[@warren010h]

Woahh!!! This is exactly what i need for a powerpoint presentation!!! 10minutes, pertaining to production & development, just nice!! :D

[@cbp1357]

I still think that the original m class is one of the best looking m classes

[@gedaman]

capang9555 I still think it looks like a Dodge Caravan from the back.

[@jorgechiuquevedo]

i have been a big fan of the m class, the first time i saw them in jurassic park i told my self that i wanted one, i had a 2009 ml witch was total, then i got a good bargin on a 2005' dub special edition, i love it. much tougher than the w 164, plus this one didnt had the off road pkg. i use it for firefighting in guatemala. love my ml

[@jameswest5102]

i wish they came with those lower plastic body panels. i kinda like how that looked. i have a 02 ML320. it's a great truck and has treated me well.

[@cesartoledo5621]

My 2000 ML55 just turned 153000 miles. I love her...

[@cesartoledo5621]

Oil leaks ... I put $12000 into her . If I feel like getting dirty I work on her myself. This is the first Benz that i have for not than a year. Every part of that car was hand picked. From the VDO speed controller to the ZF transfer case , the relays are Lucas. And i don’t drive like a grandma. I run her in the canyons. The 4matic is and the suspension is icing on the cake.

[@cesartoledo5621]

Your a hater dude .

[@cesartoledo5621]

And so your heart doesn’t strain too much , When I bought her I spent $13000.00 U.S Dollars, not pesos. To take care of those oil leaks. You probably think I take my ride to Jiffy lube. She wasn’t my first Benz...

[@niczamfir2080]

What a legend! So nice model!

[@AlanTrades]

Wow awesome unstoppable reliable and bulletproof vehicle. Plus it's a benzo

[@lightupskechers488]

ConditionRed its not bullet proof tho

[@Shadowcu123]

Not really a reliable vehicle especially the first generation

[@georgeklimes7604]

@@Shadowcu123 I had over $9000 in warranty repairs on my 2001 ML430 (thank you, extended warranty!). Then the trans failed at 98,000 miles. Once I got past the first several years, it got pretty reliable for some reason. Still have it. Still is like a tank.

[@alexcanoa26]

my ml350 w163 has only 54k miles and i can tell its one of the best chasis truck suv from mercedes benz well made very similar to the g wagon, 2017 still love this classic truck

[@edwinstevenwilder]

i love my ML

[@redriver15262]

i used to hate these SUVs until i Drove one :D im in love now

[@junglist1soldier]

My first ML350 was a 2010 Bluetec, which I do regret selling and will have to buy another. My second ML was a 2006 average ML350, didn't like it much. Now, I currently own a 2001 ML 55 AMG and love it. It doesn't top the 2010Blutec V6 turbo diesel but, it is better than the average 2006. Mpg is 11-13 on the AMG, which makes the 2010 Bluetec a superior choice, compared to any s.u.v. I was getting 22-27 mpg and with over 420 horsepower. The most quietest and environmentally friendly diesel!

[@muhammetfatihozdemir2169]

i have 1999 ml320 and its an excellent car

[@Fred714]

+Muhammet Fatih Özdemir Me too

[@larryjackson4632]

Me too. It's fully loaded and everything still works on it to a charm. Not to mention underneath the car is very dry and clean even with 220,000 miles on it. It has been extremely well maintained with new U-Joints, new radiator, starter, both motor mounts and the flex packs on the drive shaft. Unreal how awesome this car still is. It'll probably go for 500,000 if I keep using the synthetic oil.

[@lightupskechers488]

Muhammet Fatih Özdemir my mom has one

[@davidhall3747]

My 1998 ML 320 is still going strong in 2019. Its has amazing durability. They must be built to last.

[@rayjohnson9610]

I work at the plant that builds these!!

[@dzjammz5579]

what kind are the best durable one?

[@rayjohnson9610]

All are really.

[@odditeax]

[@beatrice0610]

Thanks for the video! Such a nice car!

[@scathachx]

Never thought Id see a ML320 fully Drift

[@gedaman]

Weren’t the early W163 MLs prone to rollover? I know they had a lot of quality issues with the ML at their new Alabama factory.

[@georgela5820]

best car!!!!

[@dit.p2598]

The ML W163 is the real ML forget the new ML generation.

[@DrewZ926]

funny you say its ugly because i think so too! yet i love them for some reason. no idea why really lol

[@fruitpunch5260]

Why are the bumper panel gaps so large, even on production models?

[@Reddylion]

a class built to my taste !

[@StevanColberto]

*So its a G-Wagon underneath? Nice

[@55kompressor]

StevanColberto kinda not..

[@simonsafi7589]

Yes , tha plan was to replace the G by the w163 but they kept the two

[@Rachid-on4xw]

My Dreams classe G !!!! Papapapa !

[@Carmaker1]

Thank you for posting this as I would like to know the roots of the rest of the MB line. Does anyone know what year it is from 2:24-2:42? The earliest dated image of the W163 I have seen is an image from July 1994 in a German patent filing, but that doesn't mean the design was frozen then. Was the design approved in 1993 or early 1994? I did see a date of June 1993 on one of the competition sketches.

[@powertheabdullahtv8398]

b jii

[@lucaswollamjr.6893]

In their test disguises they look somewhat like an Aztec. Did GM think that was the final design?

[@tuolumne9]

I love these videos!!! Do you happen to have a B5Passat one? :]

[@Alexander_Timonin]

@1:05 that side profile was completely ripped off for the 2012 Holden Colorado 7, Holden TrailBlazer, Chevrolet Trailblazer and Isuzu MU-X, particularly the C-pillar. Shameless GM design stealing.

[@simonsafi7589]

Yes , I agree with that but it's an ugly design that why Mercedes didn't apply it in the mighty ML
