Overview & Reviews

The ML430 is replaced by the ML500, which has a 5.0-liter V8 packing 288 horsepower. Over 1,100 parts of the truck have been modified, but the ML's exterior remains largely the same. New bumpers, clear-lens headlights and revised side mirrors are the most noticeable exterior changes. Inside, the center console sports a new look, and wood grain trim becomes standard on all models. A new automatic climate control system is now standard, and rear-seat passengers get dual cupholders and separate ventilation controls.

• Safe, comfortable, car-like ride and handling, surefooted in bad weather.

• Reputation for poor build quality, looks like a minivan from some angles, confounding COMAND navigation system.

  King of the SUV world - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Joe Mathai - February 1 - 2:33 am

  My new ML500 is in one word, AWESOME. Its roomy, incredibly fast and stops on a dime. I did have a squeaky, rear hatch latch that was promptly fixed by the dealer. The ML 500 costs less than a smaller, slower BMW X5 which does not offer TeleAid or remote mechanical telemetry, standard on the Benz. I feel safe and secure driving the ML500 which feels just like the S500 in terms of ride quality. Its a true Benz and turns heads everywhere

  Superb, Enjoy every minute driven - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By M. Hashem - December 9 - 2:00 am

  My 3rd ML after a 98, 2000. This is it! All bugs fixed, hardly goes to the dealer for any problems. Best part is the free Service for the warranty period. If people buying a cheaper fors or GM would add the service cost they would find it cheaper to own an ML and safer too. Advice; Dont miss the convenience option, I love the lights under the rearview mirror, and the folding outside mirrors

  My second m class - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By mike clouser - November 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought 1998 m class and it was back a lot at the dealer for repair and had poor air conditioning for Ok. The 2002 came out and after driving the 98 I could easily see the improvement. The 2002 is phenomenal. It does everything well; has many features the 98 did not have, handles better and has never been back for any warranty work despite 16ooo miles the first year.

  We got what we paid for - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By KONA - September 2 - 10:00 am

  This truck is the third Mercedes-B in our family but its the first one that was made in USA. We were very concerned about the bad reputation so we researched some information on the X5 and Land Rover as well. We talked to the Land Rover dealers in VA and they told us that the truck was over-priced. And we agreed that we didnt like the shape of X5. ML 320 is the best pick for both of us. Its very nice, comfortable, safe and reliable. We dont have any problem so far.
