Mercedes M-Class Engines and Transmissions

A Mercedes M-Class engine in this generation sits in a familiar powertrain: automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, with the real choice being gasoline or diesel. The ML350 3.5 AT is a gasoline example, while the ML350CDI 4.0 AT and ML320CDI 3.0 AT illustrate diesel options in the five-door SUV.

Mercedes M-Class Trims and Equipment

Mercedes M-Class trim levels sit on top of a named technical version rather than replacing it. On the gasoline ML350 3.5 AT, you can look at Standart and Luxury equipment packages for cabin comfort and convenience, while the automatic, all-wheel-drive five-door SUV layout stays the same.
