Summary

The 2014 ML 350 (RWD) was the most economical option for the North American market, offering the convenience of the W166 generation without the weight and complexity of the 4x4 system. The M276 engine is known for its higher reliability than its predecessor, yet as a direct injection engine, it is sensitive to fuel quality. This model comes with a large tank of 93 liters, allowing high autonomy on the highway. The points to be checked remain the phase chain tensioners and the purity of the suction valves from the carbon residue.
