Annette Dutton, the Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV is just the right size and is set up well for many families. It isn't so large that it's cumbersome or hard to park, but it comfortably seats five and carries plenty of stuff. As daily transportation, it doesn't feel like a truck, and it won't beat its driver or passengers up. Yet it has the potential for some fairly serious off-road adventuring, and it can tow up to 7,200 pounds. The M-Class is more than powerful enough in any of its variations. And it offers the safety equipment, luxury accoutrements, style and smooth finish expected of a Mercedes-Benz.

For year 2008, the M-Class line replaces the ML500 with the powerful ML550. The M-Class, continues to include the ML350 with its gasoline V6, the fuel-efficient ML320 CDI diesel, and the high performance ML63 AMG.
With the ML320 CDI, you can forget just about bad things you knew about diesels. It's smooth and quiet, and clean. It gives up nothing to the standard, gasoline-powered ML350. It's equipped identically, except for its diesel engine. The 3.0-liter diesel V6 generates 398 pound-feet of torque, comparable to a large-displacement V8, and brings a substantial improvement in fuel economy.
