The Mercedes-Benz M-Class has been a staple of the luxury fleet since the late 1990s, but that doesn鈥檛 mean there isn鈥檛 room for change. And change is exactly what we got for the 2015 model year. While many of the features and attributes from the 2014 model remain intact for 2015, at least in the ML350 trim, an all-new ML400 SUV represents change for the long-standing luxury utility vehicle. To help you understand what is new and how the new M-Class model differs from the popular ML350, we鈥檙e comparing the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350 vs. ML400 to make your SUV buying experience a little easier. Some of the major differences between the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350 and ML400 come under the hood. The more traditional Mercedes-Benz ML350 gets its power from a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V-6 engine that kicks out 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Behind the strength of that engine, the ML350 is capable of towing up to 6,600 pound with the proper equipment. As you probably expect, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML400 is the more powerful of the two models, however, it gets its power in a very different way. Rather than a naturally aspirated engine, the ML400 hosts a 3.0-liter biturbo V-6 that generates 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. The max horsepower and torque both come at lower rpm ranges as well, making for better low-end accelerations. When it comes to towing, the ML400 offers a max rating 600 pounds greater than the ML350.
The rear seats fold low and completely flat (first you have to lift the seat bottoms forward). With the second row folded, there is about 80 cubic feet of cargo space. The 7-inch screen on the dash is controlled by Mercedes' dial-controlled COMAND system, which is fairly easy to use and has stayed consistent across the Mercedes lineup. But Lyra found the voice command to be confusing and cumbersome. Open view: The optional panorama sunroof makes the vehicle seem more spacious inside. Top trim: We're so used to faux wood that it's a delight to see and feel the real thing. Cabin: Just an overall comfortable and quiet experience. Seats: Both front seats have the massage feature. Damping: The Airmatic Air Suspension system kept the ride smooth and comfortable. 1,950), the car tries to correct itself. The bottom line: If you want comfort and luxury, the ML400 is hard to beat. What it lacks is that Mercedes drama that sets it apart. Desirable options run up the price quickly. 80K, you'd expect something a little more unique.

Mercedes-Benz has taken a risk in its quest to downsize its engine range. For 2015, the brand's popular M-Class five-passenger CUV did away with its trusty 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, and has replaced it with a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6. It's no surprise that power is down thanks to this move. Outputs of 402 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque are replaced by 329 hp and 354 lb-ft, but weight is down significantly as well. The new ML400 is nearly 300 pounds lighter than the 4,982-pound ML550. Will that tradeoff be enough to satisfy a buying public that's embraced falling fuel prices by buying bigger and thirstier vehicles? To find out if the blown V6 is a suitable replacement for the twin-turbo V8, we spent a week at the helm of the all-new ML400. This 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 is the same engine being offered in the C400 and E400 sedans. Typical of today's turbocharged engines, peak torque is spread lavishly across the rev range, from 1,600 to 4,000 rpm. That's not as generous a spread as the ML550, which offers all its torque between 1,600 and 4,750, but the power on offer is easy to access.
