The same basic diesel engine that provides the Mercedes-Benz E250 sedan and GLK250 crossover with surprising punch and refinement, the 2.1-liter unit is the first four-cylinder oil-burner in decades to find its way into U.S.-market Mercedes passenger vehicles.Ĭomparisons are inevitable, so let’s get this out of the way right now: Packing 200 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, the diesel in ML250 trim can’t match the 240-hp and 455-lb-ft ratings of the departed M元50’s turbo-diesel V-6. Comprehensively overhauled for the 2013 model year, the ML’s styling will get updated for next year-when it also adopts the GLE-class nomenclature-but for now the minor change in diesel ML badging is all that’s new outside it acknowledges the arrival of Benz’s 2.1-liter dual-turbo diesel four under the hood.
If the exterior of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML250 pictured here looks nearly identical to the 2014 M元50 it replaces, that’s probably because it is.
