But neither comes a surprise from Mercedes-Benz. One of the most innovative and versatile systems in the SUV market, the M-Class driveline utilizes front, center and rear open differentials, which require no driver intervention and can propel the vehicle even if three wheels have lost all traction. All new developments are put into production based on careful analysis of actual traffic conditions and accident histories. Standard equipment on the ML320 includes interior features such as a leather steering wheel and a leather gearshift knob. Additionally, the interior is trimmed in real burl walnut.
Footwell lights illuminate under the instrument panel on both the driver and passenger side.
The exterior of the ML320 features body color bumpers, rub strips, rocker panels and mirror housings. The ML320 also wear 5-spoke alloy wheels unique to the model. Both ML430 and ML55 AMG come with a standard GPS navigation system featuring a large, integrated display on the center console. The new display also incorporates audio controls and is set up for modular add-on cellular telephone and CD player systems. The new navigation system is an easily installed accessory for the ML320 as well.
