Summary:The 4966cc V8 engine delivers 225kW output at 5600rpm and 460Nm of torque between 2700 and 4750rpm. The engine is one generation behind the new V8 in the S-Class but it's hard to fault the effortless power delivery and broad torque range or the impressive urge that's available when the throttle is squeezed. A powerful Harmon Kardon audio system with a six-disc CD changer in the glovebox is standard and the ML 500 has dual temperature control air conditioning, parktronic proximity senor, cruise control, trip computer, rain sensor wipers, a multi- function steering wheel and an alarm system with infra-red central locking.
