The ML has been sold in Canada for 15 years. Situated between the GLK and the GL, this vehicle was last revamped in 2006, but it has since undergone numerous esthetic and mechanical improvements. This year, four trims are offered, each with its own drivetrain. Besides the ML350’s diesels and the ML63’s AMG, there’s a biturbo V6 in the ML400 and a 400-hp V8 in the ML550.
