The Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, originally known as the M-Class, is a line of mid-size luxury SUVs produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1997 to 2015. The first-generation ML-Class (W163) was introduced in 1997 as a 1998 model year and was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines. The 2001 model year saw the introduction of the ML320, ML350, and ML500 variants, all featuring a five-speed automatic transmission and a permanent four-wheel drive system. The ML320 was powered by a 3.2-liter V6 engine, the ML350 boasted a 3.7-liter V6, while the ML500 was equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine. The ML-Class offered a comfortable and refined ride, with advanced features like Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and a sophisticated suspension system.
The ML320, ML350, and ML500 offered a blend of luxury and off-road capability, making them popular choices for families and individuals seeking a versatile vehicle. The spacious interior provided ample room for passengers and cargo, while the powerful engines delivered impressive acceleration and towing capacity. Despite its success, the first-generation ML-Class faced criticism for its complex electronics and occasional reliability issues. The 2001 model year, however, saw improvements in these areas, addressing some of the initial concerns. The ML-Class continued to evolve through its generations, ultimately playing a significant role in popularizing the luxury SUV segment and paving the way for future Mercedes-Benz models.
