Mercedes M Class

The Mercedes Benz M Class is an SUV that falls under the mid size luxury category. The vehicle was designed with a small degree of off road abilities, and it was first introduced in 1997. Unlike many Mercedes models, the M Class was actually manufactured in the United States, at a factory in Alabamba. This SUV was specifically designed to compete with the likes of the Lexus RX. The decision by Mercedes to have the vehicle produced in Alabama demonstrated that it had truly become global. It should also be noted that this decision might have resulted from the company wanting to aim the SUV at the American market.

While the quality control of the vehicle was less than desirable, it became a massive hit in the United States, and the company achieved its primary objective. The M Class has gone on to be one of the best selling Mercedes vehicles in the United States, and it is only surpassed by the C-Class and E-Class. The SUV comes with four doors, and it was one of the first SUVs to come with stability control. This is a feature that is designed to detect when the vehicle has lost control, and it will automatically access the selective braking to put the vehicle back on its original course. Many experts feel that this is one of the most impressive features of the vehicle.

Some of the other safety features which can be found in the M-Class includes side and front airbags. In fact, this vehicle has so many safety features that it has been given acclaim by many insurance experts. It has also passed crash tests with excellent scores. Before the vehicle was available to the public, it appeared in movies such as Jurassic Park: The Lost World. The company has also spend hundreds of millions to improve the factories in Alabama. The introductory price for the M-Class was just over $33,000 when it was first introduced.
