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.

  So Far - So Good - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Edward Car - March 31 - 10:00 am

  With under 500 miles on the ML320, all is performing fine. I did notice however that the ML320 has gained a lot of weight since 1998. This weight increase probably accounts for the reduction in gas mileage over my 1998. The 2002 is a vast improvement over the 98/99 model. ML’s have always handled well, and they are awesome in light off road travel. The 2002 is a credit to MB for continually improving their products. Go for it.

  The new ml 320 2002 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Vito - March 31 - 2:00 am

  I love my new ml320 2002 model. Its fun to drive and its loaded with features. Nothing beats a Mercedes Benz. I dont think I will ever go back to either a Japanese or American car ever again.

  The Best SUV - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Business Man - December 24 - 10:00 am

  If youre reading the negative comments posted here and wondering wether or not to buy an ML, trust me...... BUY ONE. I have owned other SUVs and believe me, there is no comparison. You have to experience it to understand

  Great SUV - 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By lookdeeper - July 12 - 10:00 am

  I looked at all the luxury SUVs out there and found this one was the best for my needs. More head and leg room than Lexus RX300 and better price than the BMW X5. I have had it for 6 months so far and have had no problems not even a squeak.
