Car reviews - Mercedes-Benz - M-class - ML320 Luxury 5-dr wagon

The Car

17 May 2001

Full-time four-wheel drive with an electronic two-speed transfer case marks the ML 320 as unique in the compact four-wheel drive sector

The M-class is produced at a purpose-built factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

The short front and rear overhang provides good clearance when tackling rough terrain and helps manoeuvrability in tight situations

The M-class features the traditional Mercedes-Benz face with teardrop-shaped headlamp clusters and the three-pointed star on the grille

Power comes from a three-valve, 3.2-litre V6 that generates 160kW at 5600rpm and 310Nm at 3000rpm

Mercedes-Benz says the M-class can accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in 9.7 seconds

Power is relayed to all four wheels by an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission

Suspension is by independent double wishbone all-around which gives the M-class car-like handling capabilities on tarmac

The 4-ETS four-wheel electronic traction control system ensures maximum grip in all conditions and eliminates the need for complex differential locks

Four-wheel discs are governed by a four-channel anti-lock braking system

Dual front and side airbags are among the standard features

Mercedes-Benz says the ML 320 has a class-leading drag coefficient of 0.39, which maximises fuel economy and minimises wind noise

Did you know?

Active safety on the ML320 is enhanced by the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which detects and corrects a lateral skid
