2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Bottom seat cushions are long enough for taller drivers. Padding is not too firm or too soft. Excellent support and an upright, easy-chair seating position, instead of having to extend your legs horizontally to get legroom. Results in no low back pain. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review |

2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
TurboDiesel moves this 5000 lb auto with authority - better than than the 3.5L gas version in most driving situations. Towing ability is exceptional with plenty of power, transmission does not "hunt" for gears in hilly terrain. Undetectable turbo lag. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review |

The Diesel engine is extremely smooth and climbs mountain grades with amazing ease. Getting 24-25 mpg on trips and 17-18 mpg driving around suburbia. The new EPA mileage estimates are very accurate. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review |
