Mercedes M Class
The M-Class is an expensive purchase and boasts improved fuel efficiency but fuel economy is still somewhat poor. Maintenance and insurance costs will also run high, but the good side is that the vehicle performs well both on-road and off.
The Mercedes M-Class provides excellent head and legroom for all passengers. Boot space is very good and increases with the rear seats folded. An electric tailgate made the options list and is a very tempting and practical option.
The M Class controls and dials are easy to use and clearly labeled. The integrated COMAND system which operates the trip computer, audio system, satellite navigation and telephone can be a little intimidating at first but is worth taking the time to learn. The basic controls are duplicated on the steering wheel.
This Mercedes M-Class is loaded with features geared towards improving comfort. Electric sports seats come standard on the Sports models. The seats offer excellent support and comfort as well as a wide range of adjustment. Other aspects like the steering wheel and mirrors are easily adjustable and offer a lot of practicality. The car provides a smooth ride and the cabin successfully minimizes outside noise.
The M Class provides good accessibility but requires a small step up to gain access to the car’s cabin. Otherwise accessibility to the front and rear seats is relatively unhindered.
The M-Class is easy to park. The car provides excellent all-round visibility and enjoys light steering at low speeds. Parking sensors do not come fitted as standard but shouldn’t be necessary.

Mercedes M Class
The M-Class delivers a quiet and refined ride and is completely practical and enjoyable for daily use. The car is actually very fun to drive and has some decent off-road abilities. The engine options are more than capable of powering the M-Class and steering is accurate.
The M-Class would make an ideal family car, with good all-round passenger space. The cabin can comfortably accommodate most passengers and the boot is large and ideal for accommodating luggage.
This is probably not the ideal first car. Despite how easy it is to drive the M-Class it is an expensive purchase with high running costs. Insurance will also be high and the car may be too large for the needs of most newly licensed drivers.
Many of the Mercedes M-Class problems with fit and finish have been successfully addressed in this generation. The M-Class is quality built with a high standard of fit and finish. The cabin’s materials feel good to the touch and look high-class.
