The vehicle body design for this new-generation model is full of character and immediately recognizable as an M-Class. Its styling, high-quality appeal and excellent ease of operation combine to give it a forceful presence. The self-confident design of the radiator grille and the elongated lines of the side view give formal emphasis to the on-road credentials of this vehicle, whose compact proportions are defined by a large wheelbase and short overhangs. The interior design concept combines the authentic SUV experience with the sense of wellbeing inherent in a top-class Mercedes-Benz saloon.
