Consumer Guide® Fuel Economy: 22.15 mpg (what's this?) Problems During Test: None From The Back Seat Ed Piotrowski It's not as fun as a BMW X5 or as luxurious inside as an MDX or SRX, but the M-Class has a few things that the competition can't boast. First is an uber-performance model in the ML63 AMG. Second, and more importantly, a clean, smooth, and VERY efficient diesel. The fuel is very pricey, but that premium over the gasoline engines' required premium unleaded is more than offset by the oil burner's 5+ mile-per-gallon efficiency advantage. The ML's 25-gallon tank means a potential cruising range of 600 miles at the EPA-rated 24 mpg highway. How cool is that? John Biel Though the turbodiesel 320 CDI model starts at $1000 more than the 350 with the gasoline V6, its mileage (21 mpg and better) in our tests isn't bad for an SUV. Option packages expensive enough to buy a used car can make this a pricey proposition, though, so whatever you might save on fuel (and they're not giving away diesel these days) can be devoured by the window sticker. Tom Appel What's not to like? Luxury SUV buyers not diesel adverse may well find an ML320 CDI in their driveway shortly after a test drive. Good mileage (good enough to offset diesel's higher cost), excellent power, and higher diesel model resale value make this truck a "must see". Note: Heated seats are a stand-alone option not included in any package. Don't assume you're getting them. |
