Area of interest:

The M-Class feels, for the most part, like a luxury car, with plenty of equipment and more than a passing resemblance to what you’ll find in the company’s fine saloons. However, there are a lot of buttons, both on the dashboard and steering wheel, which takes some getting used to. Plus, there are some hard plastics for the lower half of the cabin, which you wouldn’t find in many cars of similar price and prestige.
