Mercedes-Benz M-Class
As fashionable SUVs go, this is one that doesn’t hide its intentions. Its very stylish look and sportier design give it character. In direct competition with BMW’s X5, Mercedes’ ML also comes equipped with a diesel engine, the 3.5-litre BlueTEC. Its AMG version is extremely desirable, with its more aggressive look and over 500 horsepower engine. It is also very comfortable and a breeze to drive. An hybrid version is sold in the United States but not in Canada.
