![]() | On 5 June 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class to Mercedes-Benz GLE. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Mercedes-Benz now refers to this class of cars as GLE and have been doing so for some time. With that in mind this page should be moved to GLE-Class and M/ML should redirect to it. Atald 15:06 Aug 01, 2017 (UTC)
Isn't the new M- platform also shared with the Grand Cherokee? -- stewacide 08:23, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
The W163 images have been changed back to the first two that were contributed to this article. ( Check the history if you need confirmation.)
These are superior to more-recently posted images for the following reasons.
The ML400 CDI is in immaculate showroom condition, demonstrating some of the versatility that has undoubtedly made the M-Class a top seller and one of the most-loved Mercedes-Benz models. Plus it's Brilliant Silver (color code 744), which is arguably the best color in which a Mercedes should be depicted.
The ML55 AMG represents the top of the range among W163 models, shows some of the AMG styling, and in basic black could only look better if photographed at night.
These are fine examples of the W163 model series and both photographs are well-composed with plenty of interest for the viewer. "Too much glare" is standard in a photo of a shiny Mercedes-Benz automobile. DrX au 04:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
The recent image contributions have been included where they enhance the article, and reverted where the previous image was (IMHO) superior. I think the F1 medical car image adds interest to the article, so it stays. Discussion on this issue is welcome. DrX au 13:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
The new gallery is interesting, and I hope it will illustrate the evolution in styling and refinement since the first MLs hit the streets. This would seem to be the most appropriate place to include a shining example of your proudly-maintained ML. Using the "Less is more" principle, I think we should limit the gallery to one example each of (front and rear views) :
W163 Original 1998/9 model W163 Post 2002-facelift W164 2006 model W164 2009 facelift
Standard (non-AMG) versions with stock wheels and accessories, freshly washed, in interesting environments (maybe golf course or beach rather than local carpark), taken from a suitable distance (avoid fish-eye distortion) will be favoured. A variety of colors couldn't hurt either. DrX au ( talk) 20:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
(There is already an AMG-version at the top.)
There have been a number of reverts on this issue, but there should not be any controversy. The ML63 AMG's M156 engine displaces 6208cc; both the official websites mbusa.com and mercedes-amg.com list this figure. This is very appropriately 6.2L. And, as pointed out by a plethora of magazines and reviews, the ML63 displaces 6.2L (please see: Motor Trend, C/D, R&T, Edmunds, etc.). That 6.2L is correct should be common sense (i.e., the truth) - but with all these verifiable and reliable third-party sources, this is not even an issue of truth vs. fact. -- Sesameball Talk 12:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
"The back was commonly referred as a shoebox so DaimlerChrysler spent most of their $600 million dollars on redesigning that part."
$600 million for a tail gate? It's a wiki joke, right?
"Mercedes-Benz extensively publicized the US$600 million spent to update its factory and add manufacturing space for the new R-Class. According to early automotive press reports, the 2006 M-Class vehicles demonstrate vast improvements in quality"
This paragraph comes out of nowhere and borders on a non-sequitur in the section on the current model. Clearer set-up and elaboration of changes to the factory are needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.169.176.34 ( talk) 16:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
"It is and always has been known as ML, not M. I merely moved the page to the appropriate title" according to User:Andrew Nutter.
M-Class or ML-Class? Which is correct, or are both acceptable? http://www.topgear.com.ph/features/feature-articles/is-it-m-class-or-ml-class DrX au ( talk) 11:21, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
The M/ML isn't among their current vehicles but this page at mercedes-benz.com refeers to the vehicle as the "ML-class", saying that a certain technology started with the ML-class in 2009. Thomas.W talk 12:29, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
"Helmed under Bruno Sacco" - what the heck does that mean? May be an Americanism that has so far escaped my attention, but unlike most I encounter, I can't fathom its purpose. Peridon ( talk) 22:13, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
I edited the design credit on the W163. While Peter Arcadipane is listed among the inventors of the prototype "AAV" from the Californian Advanced Design Studio (US patent D382833), he is not listed on the patent of the W163 body (US patent D383091). It is possible that Peter Pfeiffer was the main designer, but if you read other Benz bodystyle patents, Bruno Sacco, as the head of design, has his name first on all the Sindelfingen ones.

Hello. Thank you for submitting this article to Good Articles Nominations. Unfortuantely, this article will have to be quickfailed due to
Wikipedia:Good article criteria#Immediate failures #1 "It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria". Specifically, this article is a long way from passing criteria #2 Verifiable with no original research. The list below is a list of verification issues summarized into categories. The parts that I'm listing are where the uncited parts start.
Since this is a long list to read, the main things that you need to know are:
With the twelve whole uncited paragraphs alone, this article is a long way from passing criteria #2 Verifiable with no original research for a Good Article. This is not including the seven additional paragraphs that are partially uncited. Therefore, I will have to quick-fail this article. I hope this review does not discourage you from working on this article. Feel free to nominate this article again in the future once these issues have been resolved. Please also see Wikipedia:Good article criteria for the Good article criteria that reviewers look for in a nomination. Thank you for nominating this article at Good Articles Nominations! :) -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 22:28, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Move to Mercedes-Benz GLE due to the fact it is the GLE not GLE-Class. Do the same for GLA, GLB, GLC, and GLS. 2A02:C7E:3AA0:9200:CDAD:B827:33D3:6E03 ( talk) 17:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

While the GLE (W167/V167) is referred to as a long-wheelbase model in India, the dimensions are identical to the international GLE. It appears that the GLE is available as a single wheelbase model across the globe, with a 2,995mm wheelbase. There is no evidence of a 3,075mm-wheelbase GLE, as mentioned on the Wikipedia page. db ( talk) 05:01, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
