Mercedes-Benz continues to keep its M-Class fresh with better looks, better fuel economy and better driveability. This is one refined and comfortable vehicle that can be suited up as the family rig, yet remain every bit as elegant as you'd expect of a vehicle from the German marque.

When it comes to describing big, chunky SUVs, words such as 'performance' and 'nimble' can be as incompatible as 'elephant'
and 'ballet'. But out of the blue, chariots like the BMW X5 and Infiniti FX50 trots along and we are suddenly thrown out
from left field, leaving us stranded in disbelief.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class reinstates our faith and behaves exactly how we expected it to be - on and off-road. Moreover it maintains the charismatic charm just enough to get heads turning and having envious whispers amongst the casual passerby.
The third and latest generation M-Class is refined with sharp and sculpted edges and well-defined lines. The headlamps are updated with daytime running lights, foglamps and having a more distinct and aggressive grille. You just cannot deny the fact that the design and style of the huge car makes this Mercedes instantly recognisable as an M-Class.
The M-Class shares a similar platform to the Jeep Grand Cherokee and takes off positively. Mercedes lobbyists may reckon that this car resembles too much like the E-Class, but in a time where carmakers are standardising a corporate face, we reckon this look could achieve a sense of recognition.
Mercedes-Benz kept its cabin along the lines of a graceful evolution without compromising on the soft and sedan-like feel. The car continues to offer leather swathed seats, high quality wood trim and a four-spoke steering wheel that's tricked out with buttons and controls.
Gently sculpted lines and swooping curves of Mercedes' instrument panels also complements the overall classy atmosphere. Buttons and controls on the centre console are all within reach, making the cockpit a compelling combination of ergonomic and practical design for occupants to enjoy.
The gigantic car will easily swallow five passengers, all of whom will enjoy acres of space. The large expanse of glass and never ending panoramic roof reduces claustrophobia for the occupants while increasing visibility for the driver - a necessity in a car that dwarfs others. The all-wheel-drive delivers loads of grip with wide body roll as a side effect due to the M's biggish dimensions.
Mercedes-Benz continues to keep its M-Class fresh with better looks, fuel economy and driveability. Much like the current E-Class, the latest M-Class feels greater than the sum of its parts. This is one refined and comfortable vehicle that can be suited up as the family rig, yet remain every bit as elegant as you'd expect of a vehicle from the German marque.
