In India the three pointed leading light commands lots of
admiration. Everyone recognizes it and driving a carr with one on its bonnet
enlightens the globe that you have arrived and this embrace even more if you
are driving an amazing SUV. Mercedes was the 1st luxurious and comfort carmaker in
India and amongst the 1st to
have a SUV in its listings. The Mercedes started its first inning
in India with the 1st generation
and the group has now introduced the newest and hottest 3rd iteration.
The latest design is an evolution of its ancestors and the
latest one can’t be flawed for anything else apart from an M class. The
headlamps of the latest one are rounder than previous but the feature upturned
C pillars return to carry on continuity in the M class model.
The
window line also remains greatly like the outgoing car. There are though
innovative design strokes to bring the M class car in line with the remaining
Mercedes lineup. For instance the three pointed star in the center is now more
erect. The body kit provides the M class car a sober look, all appreciation
goes to the aggressively styled and superbly designed air intakes in the
bumper. There are customary SUV design qualities too such as a faux sump guard,
roof rails, a rear diffuser and side sills to ease ingress.
The
accompaniments of chrome multifaceted don’t look out of the place either,
adding up a bit of dynamism and sparkle to the looks. At the back the tail
lamps also see some change with the older.
The engine of this car powering the latest ML 350 CID blue efficiency has the similar capability as
before but make a bit more powerful and its mated to 7 speed automatic gearbox.
You will be surprised at how easy the entire driving experience is. The engine
of this car operates in an advanced way with next to no vibrations and
automatic gearbox shifts easily without jerks. A light valve on the accelerator
is all it takes to get up to pace and you can utilize the paddles on the
steering wheel to adjust gears.
The
rear bench is very roomy with the loads of breathing space on give the support
from the sofa like backs can even be reclined. The front seats are high on
comfort and the driving pose is good and tall so the driver has a clear
analysis of the road in front.
It’s
not just the ease the measure that the Mercedes score on, it is used mostly as
a great luxury car in India so it’s no doubt the cabin is alive with superior
stuff and the dashboard looks like a luxury saloon. There’s numerous
leather, wood, and aluminum all of which have been created delicately and all
this joins to give a lavish sensation reminiscent of Mercedes own S class
flagship bar.
There’s
a 6 disc changer along with the Bluetooth connectivity and SD card slot, three
zone climate control and auto stop start feature.
The
latter help out to save fuel by switching off the engine when the car is
motionless.

Around 56.9 lakh.
