Platforms

The listed configuration combines a diesel engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel or all-wheel drive. The available facts do not specify infotainment, connectivity, driver-assistance, or other software and platform details.

Who it's for

This ML-Class SUV may suit buyers looking specifically for a diesel vehicle with four-wheel or all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. Its official efficiency figures can help shoppers compare rated fuel consumption, and the annual EPA fuel-cost figure offers a reference point for budgeting.

Buyers should also consider the stated 484.76 grams per mile of tailpipe CO2 and the 19 MPG city rating. The available figures do not account for a buyer's actual fuel prices, annual mileage, or driving mix, so they should not be treated as a personalized cost forecast.
