With its substantial proportions and dramatic bodystyling, the third-generation M-Class is more muscular and imposing than ever. The reworked front end is all power and aggression, with a chunky front apron and stainless steel underguard flanked by LED daytime running lights.

In profile, a powerful shoulder line and sculpted beltline sweep back towards the slanted C-pillar common to all previous M-Class models. The SE model features aluminum finish running boards while on the AMG Sport model line, sideskirts and front and rear aprons are AMG-styled for maximum visual impact.

To round things off, there’s a stainless steel rear underguard and a choice of striking 19” alloy wheels, depending which model you choose. Optional extras include a panoramic glass sunroof.
