Large range of powertrain options (from a 3.0-liter diesel to a 6.2-liter 503 hp gasoline V8) make the ML a versatile choice for buyers of this luxury SUV.
Lower end models offer significant levels of ride comfort mixed with many luxury amenities. ML63 offers a ton of performance features with completely compromising comfort.
Interior treatment is upscale but limits functionality -- particularly where heating and ventilation controls are concerned. Button-heavy design frustrates quick temperature changes. Audio controls must be learned and secondary controls could be easier to use.
Sharp proportions on base models get a serious boost at with the AMG-level flares and wide rubber. Quality is excellent inside and out.
