Reviews of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML550
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML550 combines sharp styling with even sharper performance, courtesy of its punchy 382-horsepower V-8. Its optional adaptive-damping system gives drivers the ability to optimize the ride based on driving environment.
The Bad: As with many Mercedes-Benz models, the ML550's cabin tech lags behind that of the luxury competition. Its iPod interface is particularly bewildering. Fuel economy is disappointing for a car with such an advanced power train.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML550 is a brawny midsize SUV with some admirable on- and off-road performance capabilities. But its optional--and expensive--cabin technology lets it down.
