2015 M- Class
Engineered to inspire. When drivers wished for a versatile, capable vehicle with all the virtues of a Mercedes-Benz, the original M-Class became more than just the first SUV of its kind. It created an ever-advancing blueprint for other SUVs to follow, year after year. And with its athletic performance, acclaimed safety and attentive luxury, the M‑ Class inspires its own driver, day after day. ML 250 BlueTEC. A new twin-turbo 4 ‑cylinder clean diesel1 motivates the most efficient M‑Class.
Shaped by what goes into it. ML 400 shown with optional Iridium Silver metallic paint, 20" AMG 5‑spoke wheels, brushed aluminum running boards, and Lighting Package. Please see endnotes at back of brochure. The M‑Class is designed to be a perfect fit — for you, and for how you enjoy life. The sleek body wraps taut muscle around a flexible cabin. LED lighting and brilliant chrome accentuate its precision.
That “solid as a bank vault” feeling you experience in an M‑Class is a legendary Mercedes-Benz attribute, but it’s no legend. Its substantial feel comes from actual substance. A rigid uni-body, fully independent suspension and highly refined aerodynamics all work in concert to make the ride smoother, the handling more precise, and the cabin quieter. Extensive development in virtual and actual wind tunnels helps to cut drag and fuel consumption.

Advanced by tradition. Look back over the history of motoring, and you’ll see MercedesBenz engineers continually redefining the future. It’s a neverending tradition to make dramatically new ideas feel immediately familiar — intuitive for you to use, and easy to enjoy.
Whether you’re venturing somewhere you’ve never explored, or relaxing along a favorite route, driving an M‑Class offers rewards no other SUV brings together. That’s because no automaker has a richer history of wrapping groundbreaking innovation in time-honored craftsmanship. It’s what turns the instant sensations you feel in an M‑Class into enduring satisfaction. It starts with the premium materials and fine tailoring that greet your eyes and hands.
How far do you dream of going? If you want to go farther — in life, or in your travels — experience reveals a few tips: Get a head start. And make fewer stops. Since pioneering the diesel automobile in 1936, Mercedes-Benz engineers haven’t rested. Even after inventing BlueTEC, the world’s cleanest diesel passenger vehicles,1 they keep reinventing. Their latest revelation is the new ML 250 BlueTEC. It’s the most fuel-efficient4 M‑Class yet.

Unseasonably calm, unshakably confident. An SUV that’s rugged isn’t so unusual. But how about one that’s also nimble, or even fun? The M‑Class was the first of its kind to feature a 4‑wheel independent suspension — along with many other Mercedes-Benz handling hallmarks, like a tight turning circle. It also made a clever new use of technology first pioneered for antilock brakes: The same sensors can also detect wheelspin during acceleration. The breakthrough was more than just groundbreaking.
Efficiency expert. A new generation of clean diesel powerplant lets the ML 250 BlueTEC® go even farther on a gallon of fuel.4 Two turbochargers give the 2.1‑liter inline-4 more torque than some V‑8s. A fast-acting turbo boosts torque at low rpm, with a larger, more powerful unit adding power as revs increase. And all 369 lb ‑ft of its torque is on tap at just 1,600 rpm, for strong response off the line and around town. With its ultralow emissions, it’s certified in all 50 states.
Handcrafted horsepower. For 47 years, AMG has been creating championship racecars and thoroughbreds for the street. Every trophy earned, and each lesson learned, has shared the same starting line: an engine crafted by the hands of its own master. “One man, one engine” is more than a guiding philosophy — it’s a pedigree of performance that’s evident throughout the vehicle. And it’s a promise made during the rigors of competition that every Mercedes-AMG fulfills even in the routine of a daily commute.

How far ahead can you prepare? The M‑Class helps protect you with technology that watches the road and you. It surrounds you in a reinforced body. And it backs you with intensive research and exhaustive testing. Over the decades, Mercedes-Benz safety engineers have pioneered the crumple zone, antilock brakes and stability control. They’ve introduced countless safety firsts to SUVs, from side-impact air bags to the newest collision-avoidance breakthroughs.

Being first in safety matters most when every second matters more. The independent agencies that perform their own crash-testing are highly respected for their unbiased assessment, and their continually advancing criteria and methods. In the latest tests, the M‑Class earned their highest acclaim: 5 stars overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,8 and one of the very first “Top Safety Pick+” ratings for a luxury SUV from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Visionary driving assists to help you see and be seen. Virtual vision to your sides. When the available Blind Spot Assist12 senses a vehicle on either side of your M ‑Class, it illuminates an icon in the appropriate mirror, to alert you. If you signal for a lane change while a vehicle is detected, the icon flashes and a warning tone sounds. The system is also available with active technology, which can selectively brake individual wheels to help guide you back into your own lane automatically.13 4.
How far will it go to please you? Thoughtful engineering and careful craftsmanship aren’t just how the M‑Class feels so rewarding on the inside. They’re also why it satisfies you deep inside.

In addition to three stages of soothing heat, you can have three levels of cooling ventilation.

The voice control can learn how you speak. You can see 360° of what’s nearby, or keep a traffic jam far away. It’s all quite advanced. But it quickly feels familiar. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel.

An available household style 115 ‑volt outlet12 in the rear seating area lets you plug in a game console or laptop. Climate - controlled cupholders.
