This September marks the ten-year anniversary of the M-Class, the first SUV built by Mercedes-Benz in the US. To help celebrate this important milestone, Mercedes-Benz is launching a special limited edition of its popular M-Class sport utility that's appropriately badged "Edition 10." The V6-powered ML350 Edition 10 model features a unique Birch Wood and Macadamia and Black leather interior with an aluminum instrument cluster and sport pedals.

With 1,000 vehicles scheduled to be offered in the US, the limited-production Edition 10 comes in a choice of Obsidian Black or Arctic White paint with eye-catching black headlight surrounds, tinted tail lights and a chrome shadow finish on the grille as well as the front and rear skid plates.

The new Mercedes Benz ML350 Edition 10 is part of the 2008 M-Class family that includes the fuel-efficient ML320 CDI diesel with a 215hp V-6 engine, the ML350 (the most popular M-Class model) with a 268hp V-6, the powerful new ML550 with a 382 hp V-8, and the high-performance ML63 AMG with a 503hp V-8. The M-Class line features a sleek exterior with a unibody platform and four-wheel independent suspension that deliver impressive on-road driving performance and comfort. Useful technology abounds in the M-Class, including a standard seven-speed automatic transmission, full-time four-wheel-drive, four-wheel traction control.
North American Truck of the Year
When the 1998 Mercedes-Benz M-Class first arrived, the new sport utility vehicle started a trend that inspired the entire auto industry to shift toward more luxurious car-like SUVs. Launched as the only sport utility in its class with four-wheel independent suspension, the original M-Class was one of the first to be designed from the ground up, rather than being based on an existing truck platform. The first-generation M-Class won many awards, including the prestigious North American Truck of the Year.
Mercedes Benz SUV
During the eight-year life cycle of the first-generation vehicle, more than 570,000 M-Class SUVs were produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with about half of them sold in the US. The second-generation M-Class re-asserted its industry leadership in a highly competitive market that had grown dramatically since the launch of the original Mercedes-Benz SUV.
