The front end of this luxury SUV flows into unique fenders that are big enough to allow large-sized AMG alloy wheels to be used on it. The lower fascia along its back features a distinctive black diffuser where the sports exhaust system with a pair of chrome tailpipes is housed. The ML63 AMG also features a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a total power output of 518HP along with 516 lb-ft… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas October 2, 2014

First the mid-class SUV of Mercedes-Benz was categorized as the M-Class. Then, it was rebranded to ML-Class. Now, a facelifted prototype of the range is in the works, and sources refer to it as the Mercedes-Benz MLE.

It would also give more sense to the names of the different ranges of the brand,… Continue Reading »
