The new 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML350 SUV has the capability of a sport-utility vehicle yet it still rides like a sedan, without sacrificing the agility that’s found in an SUV. This model has a V6 engine that generates 268-horse power and uses 4MATIC 4-wheel drive, which can send power to every wheel and optimizes available grip.

The ‘08 ML350 SUV also uses Downhill Speed Regulation, for added security. That system presets speeds for downhill travel at 4 mph but that can be adjusted from 3 to 10 mph using the multifunction steering wheel. There is also Hill Start Assist to prevent rollback when taking off from a stop on an incline.

Features that contribute to the stylish, yet sporty look of this model include black protective-coated roof rails, halogen head lamps and a silver grille with chrome ribs. This SUV also has convenient exterior features, such as a hydraulically assisted tailgate closing feature, programmable daytime running lamps and privacy glass for rear doors, rear quarter windows, and tailgate.

This ride was designed with innovation kept in mind, and technology is combined with security with the SmartKey System, as it uses an electronically coded key that is recognized in the engine. The engine will not start if this key is not used, preventing theft of the vehicle.

Style makes its way inside the ML350 SUV with features like a leather-trimmed steering wheel and Polished Brown Birdseye Maple wood trim on console and doors, in addition to aluminum trim on console assist handles.

The 2008 ML350 SUV from Mercedes-Benz combines a sleek ride with sporty handling, and puts that together with advanced technology and convenience, making it a full package for the luxury SUV buyer this year.
