The leader in world car production, the German company Mercedes Bans, introduced a new model of M-class SUVs in 1997. The range of such cars was modernized and updated year after year, so that in 2012 the Mercedes ML 350 model was introduced to the general public, which underwent significant changes. The first thing I want to say when looking at this stylish SUV is that this car is really powerful and difficult. Thoughtful design and technical characteristics, as always, at the highest of all possible levels.
Today, aggressive, but at the same time incredibly stylish Mercedes ML 350 is chosen by many.
Of the main distinguishing features of its appearance, I want to highlight the following characteristics. The lower part of the bumper is stylized with a protective insert made of steel. Drop-shaped headlights meet the classic canons of this brand. A pleasant addition will be xenon and foglights combined with them. The concept of rear-view headlights, as well as a protective insert, is similarly constructed. At the base of the hood are air intakes, direction indicators
are indicated on the
rear-view mirrors . To further emphasize the quality of this
SUV, the Mercedes Benz ML 350 is equipped with additional underbody and engine protection.
As for the dry statistics, you should pay attention to the dimensions of the car. Its length is about 480 cm, width - about 190 cm, height - 180 cm, weight - more than 2 tons. Significantly increased trunk volume and legroom for passengers. Access to the trunk is through the fifth door, made with a slight tilt.
The technical characteristics of the Mercedes ML 350 surprise even the most sophisticated SUV lovers.
The 2012 model is equipped with a six-cylinder engine with direct injection and turbocharging. The power of the car is 240 horsepower with an engine volume of about three liters. In harmony with the engine, an advanced seven-speed automatic transmission also works. In addition, this car model has become more economical to use: compared with the previous ones, fuel consumption has been reduced both on the city highway and in off-road conditions.
Mercedes ML 350 has the ability to use six driving modes, adapted to different types of terrain. The most commonly used modes are Auto, which ideally meets the requirements of urban routes, Winter, recommended for trips in winter, as well as two modes for riding with a trailer - Sport and Trailer.
As standard, the car is presented with seventeen-inch wheels and is equipped with a set of tires used for driving on hilly terrain and off-road. Professionals, by the way, appreciated their high quality with numerous test drives. The machine is well controllable due to the presence of a rear and front stabilizer. She was tested on the most difficult turns. The only possible minus is how the SUV handles the bulky potholes that are so frequent on Russian roads. Shocks and swaying are felt throughout the car. Such a nuisance, however, is very classic and is found in most cars of this type.
Among the M-class SUVs, the Mercedes ML 350 is beyond competition, the price of which in 2012 in European countries started at $ 50,000.
The presentation of the updated model was held in Russia in 2013. You can buy such a dream car in company salons for an amount that will be at least three million rubles, and will depend on the configuration of the car.
