Mercedes-Benz ML320 – the V6 mid-size SUV from Tuscaloosa registered as a light commercial vehicle: 3.2-litre petrol and 3.0-litre CDI diesel of 165 kW, standard 4MATIC four-wheel drive
The Mercedes-Benz ML320 belongs to the first and second generations of the M-Class, which Mercedes-Benz has built since 1997 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama – the brand's first plant outside Europe. The 320 designation originally referred to the first generation's 3.2-litre V6 petrol engine and, from 2005 with the second generation, was transferred to the 3.0-litre CDI common-rail diesel that the register mostly covers here; 4MATIC marks the standard four-wheel drive. The examples carried in the register were registered in individual countries as light N1 commercial vehicles, although technically they are unmodified passenger cars.

The register lists here 8 versions with 165 kW from six-cylinders of 2,987 to 3,199 cm³, unladen weights from 2,120 to 2,240 kg, a gross weight of 2,830 kg and widths from 1,900 to 1,960 mm.
The M-Class founded the segment of comfort-oriented premium SUVs and at the time competed above all with the BMW X5; the ML320 CDI was the best-selling engine variant in Europe, combining the diesel's range and pulling power with the range's ride comfort.
On used examples, on the CDI versions the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger, on all engine variants the air suspension (where fitted), the transfer case of the 4MATIC drivetrain, and rust on the sills and rear wheel-arch area count; parts run through the Mercedes-Benz network.
