It's now 10 years since Mercedes-Benz launched the M-Class, a vehicle that rewrote the rules of the SUV sector. Never before had an off-roader offered such high levels of luxury and driving refinement. And it still leads the way in its class.

To celebrate this decade of success, we've produced the M-Class Edition 10. Even by M-Class standards its exceptional, with a generous specification and an array of eye-catching design touches.

Exterior features include titanium-look grille and underbody styling, plus aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs. The Edition 10 also reveals the M-Class's dark side, with privacy glass, dark-tinted tail lights and Bi-Xenon headlights, and striking 20" alloy wheels in Titanium Grey.

Inside, drivers will appreciate black leather upholstery , sports instruments, stainless-steel pedals, and velour floor mats with the EDITION logo.

With a choice of Obsidian Black or Iridium Silver paintwork - both metallic, of course - the Edition 10 is based on the hugely popular ML280 CDI and ML320 CDI. On sale from January 2008, it offers outstanding value for such a luxurious, highly-equipped vehicle, priced at £40,703 and £42,803 OTR respectively. And we're producing just 1,000 units of the Edition 10 - so it's as exclusive as it is desirable.
