Mercedes’ American-made 4x4 has matured, with a nicer interior to go with its chunky exterior. As you’d expect, the 3.7-litre off-roader was quick off the mark, and with automatic transmission there’s no problem in coping with steep hills. However, I wasn’t overawed by the ML350’s ride and the brakes didn’t inspire confidence. Loadspace is pretty good, but not up to Discovery standards.
