2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTEC 4Matic

The third generation of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class sets a new benchmark in the SUV segment with its bold new design and low fuel consumption, and continues to innovate in the way it combines agility with comfort.

Highlights of the 2012 M-Class include 4Matic permanent all-wheel drive, new developments to the chassis and innovative driving dynamics, all of which improve performance in both on-road and off-road situations.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class features the new active and passive safety features that are now familiar for Mercedes-Benz. A characteristic body design together with a comfortable and versatile interior enhances the driving experience in the new M-Class.

The all-new 2012 M-Class will make its U.S. retail debut in September 2011 and includes two models: ML350 4Matic and ML350 BlueTEC.

Dr. Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars development, commented: "The M-Class embodies all the automotive experience that we have accumulated over 125 years and thus represents - in short - a quantum leap in terms of efficiency, safety, agility and design!"
