This review of the Mercedez M-Class SUVs includes the ML55. Chicago Tribune (2001)
The Mercedes-Benz ML sport-utility is an example of an automaker offering one vehicle in a variety of flavors. Newsday (2001)
Not even AMG, though, can make a 4,800-pound SUV drive like a sportscar, and the ML55 retains the side-to-side rocking motions and top-heavy feel that goes with the SUV territory, in addition to a very firm ride. Statesman Classifieds (2001)
The lively performing, sumptuously equipped SUV is indeed an impressive driveway ornament, but it's also a marvelous piece of engineering by Mercedes' performance division, AMG. The Car Connection (2001)
For 2001, the ML55, as well as all other M-Class vehicles, now has an enhanced full-time 4WD system, which has 50/50 torque distribution through front, center and rear “open” differentials to the front and rear fully independent suspension. Truck World (2001)
This year's big improvement is TeleAid, a four-in-one integrated communication link to emergency and roadside assistance. Hitting the 'SOS' button above the rearview mirror calls a response specialist who can send local police or emergency services to you. Yahoo Autos (2001)
The only Major Optional Feature on this one: A telephone. Automobile Magazine (2000)
This vehicle brings entirely new standards of performance and roadholding to the sport-utility-vehicle market. Automobile Magazine (2000)
The Mercedes-Benz M-class is a sport-utility vehicle that looks suspiciously like a minivan. Car Trackers (2000)
In order to get a sportier image MB called upon their most successful aftermarket modifier, AMG. Epinions (2000)
See what owners of the 2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUVs have to say about their vehicle -- the good and the bad. New Car Test Drive (2000)
The M-Class comes standard with dual front airbags, side-impact airbags that deploy from the front seats, seatbelt pretensioners and automatic belt force limiters. The Car Connection (2000)
If attention is what it wanted, Benz has gotten it with the underhood maneuvers. By transplanting a magnificent AMG-tuned 5.5-liter V-8, they’ve fattened the M-Class’ performance profile up to 342 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. USA Today (2000)
Even the base ML320, with its 215-horsepower V-6 engine, rears up and runs when you nail the pedal. Uphill, or with a load, it slumps a bit. But most of the time it feels like a sports sedan. Woman Motorist (2000)
It's earned the title: The "Fastest SUV in the World". And who wouldn't be with the introduction of a luxury SUV that's been clocked at 0-60 in 6.4 seconds? Woman Motorist (2000)
With four-wheel drive and 8.4 inches of ground clearance it can perform the same tasks as a standard M-Class, but at a price tag almost double that of a ML 320.
