The vehicle was subjected to mid-range 30-60mph acceleration assessment, high-speed towing circuits, emergency braking, ride and handling evaluations and hill-stop and restart tests.
The Caravan Club Chairman said it 'performed faultlessly'. "Its strong performance made easy work of the hills, with stop/starts just as easily dismissed. The M-Class has a spacious interior with expected quality feel, comfortable seating and good ergonomics."
The ML 350 BlueTEC Sport features 4MATIC intelligent electronic all-wheel-drive via the Mercedes-Benz seven-speed 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission, as well as self-levelling, automatic headlamp adjustment, ESP Trailer Stability Assist and limited slip differential as standard.
