Mercedes-Benz ML-Class W166

Mid-Size Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz ML-Class W166 is a mid-size crossover in production from 2011 to 2015, whereupon it received a facelift and became the GLE. It was available with a range of inline-4, V6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.1 to 5.5 liters.

Compared to the W164, the W166 ML-Class has a more bland exterior design that nonetheless removed some of the awkwardness of its predecessor. Most of the petrol engines became turbocharged, and Mercedes started using the confusing "BlueTec" name for the diesel engines to whitewash its pollutive nature.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Mercedes ML-class comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear.
