2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
Base List Price: $39,750
Like many redesigned vehicles these days, the second-generation Mercedes-Benz M-Class sport utility vehicle is substantially bigger than its predecessor. It’s wider, longer and lower for 2006.
Eckhard Cordes, head of the Mercedes Car Group, said the M-Class employs an all-new design yet is pleasingly familiar. The 2006 model is less trucklike in appearance than the original M-Class and promises cultivated performance with its full-time four-wheel-drive system.
Front legroom has increased by 2 inches, and the automaker promises more rear knee room and leg space in the redesigned model. Revised traction control now incorporates downhill driving assist and a hill-holder function. An optional offroad package will be offered.
Two trim levels are available: the ML350 with a V-6 engine, and the ML500 with V-8 power. A height-adjustable Airmatic air suspension is optional. The new M-Class went on sale in spring 2005 in the United States and reaches Europe this summer.
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
Base List Price: $48,000
Mercedes-Benz says the R-Class “grand sports tourer” is the company’s first model to blend the merits of a sport utility vehicle, sports sedan and luxury wagon. Two trim levels are available: the R350, equipped with a V-6 engine; and the R500, powered by a V-8. A seven-speed-automatic transmission works with an all-wheel-drive system.
Expected to carry a sticker price below $50,000, the R-Class is manufactured in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
