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.

  Nice SUV - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By John Lantvit - September 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee,Chevy Tahoe,and now the best damn SUV on the market. Whats not to like now that the bugs are out of it. Quiet,smooth,comfortable,and I hope its as dependable as my C220 with 130,000 miles and very minor problems as compared to both my former SUVs. Time will tell.FOr now Im thrilled.I drove the X-5 and if you like driving your couch,buy one.

  ML55 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class

  Sports car performance with SUV cargo capacity. The ML55 is excellant in all catagories. Gas mileage is better than reported (I have been averaging around 15)

  ML320 cure for Jeep - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By dmdfct - June 26 - 10:00 am

  Former top of the line Jeep Cherokee owner. The ML320 has the cure for disatisfied Jeep owners. No SUV yawl. Solid, luxury ride. Excellent brakes which do not fade on windy coastal roads like Jeep. Interior is quiet.. no wind noise.

  2002 M-Class is Much Improved - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Woody - May 7 - 1:20 am

  We loved our 98 ML 320 but were less than thrilled with multiple simple problems that plagued the first year of production: rattling rear seats, window switches that failed, rusting lug bolts, noisy suspension to name a few. We are loyal MB owners and have been for 19 years, and can honestly state that the 2002 M-Class improvements are first class--the quality has finally caught up with the design mid-way through this models life cycle.

  An average truck. - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Eric F - April 2 - 10:00 am

  The M-Class is a good SUV, it does everything well, but will never be able to win a comparison against other luxo SUVs
