In a sudden change of heart, Mercedes-Benz has indefinitely shelved
plans to sell the four-cylinder-diesel-powered ML250 BlueTec in the
U.S. The ML250 would have been powered by the same basic 2.1-liter
twin-turbo diesel that鈥檚 found in the new-for-2013 GLK250 BlueTec.
While Mercedes has no definitive time frame to bring the ML250
stateside, we understand that it definitely won鈥檛 arrive for 2014 as
originally planned, but it鈥檚 possible the SUV could come a year later
as a 2015 model. Benz offered no explanation for the delay, but we
believe that the company is happy with the success of the ML350 BlueTec
six-cylinder diesel, which fetches around 15 percent of all MLs sold in
the U.S. The Stuttgart-based manufacturer never announced whether the
four-cylinder would replace or supplement the six-cylinder, but either
decision is fraught with peril. Replacing the torquey and pleasing V-6
with a four-pot would drag the M-class to a lower point in the
marketplace, positioned uncomfortably close to the GLK250 BlueTec. If
the 250 mill was merely to be another diesel offering in the ML lineup,
it could cannibalize sales from the larger, more expensive 350 BlueTec.
When Mercedes first announced this engine for the M-class, no technical
specifications were revealed, but we鈥檇 expected numbers similar to
those produced by the oil-burning GLK: 190 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of
torque. We previously had concerns about this lump鈥檚 ability to
motivate the ML when considering the current diesel-powered vehicle,
the ML350 BlueTec, boasts figures of 240 horses and 455 lb-ft.
Comparison Test: 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel vs. Of course, the
ML350 BlueTec is sufficient to meet today鈥檚 emissions standards, and
at 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, it outperforms the
gasoline-powered ML350鈥榮 18/23 ratings with relative ease. On the
other hand, the four-cylinder could have given Mercedes a significant
improvement in fuel efficiency as the European-spec ML250 BlueTec is 13
percent more efficient than its six-cylinder counterpart.

You might think a vehicle as tall and heavy as the Mercedes-Benz GL
luxury SUV for 2016 could be a handful, but its tank-like solidity and
taut suspension would prove you wrong. Comfortable and stable, the GL
feels like any other big Mercedes sedan only with more seats and a
higher driving position. The interior is well isolated from outside
distractions, but there is some noticeable tire noise on the V8 and AMG
trims due to their larger performance tires. Under its hood, the 2016
GL-Class from Mercedes-Benz offers a number of tantalizing powertrains.
Be it the twin-turbo V6 in the GL450, the torque-happy diesel in the
GL350 BlueTEC or the awesome thrust provided by 550 horsepower in the
GL63 AMG, power is one commodity never in short supply. The GL comes
standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive, which can even be equipped with a
2-speed transfer case for light off-roading.
