The generous sense of space, clearly arranged control elements and high-quality materials inside the M-Class ensure the highest degree of comfort on board. It starts the moment you open the doors-without having to take the key out of your pocket, thanks to KEYLESS-GO (available as standard equipment for ML 500 4MATIC in China). Inside, your gaze is drawn to the fine wood trim as you settle into your seat, which is upholstered in Aspen fabric/ARTICO man-made leather. If you prefer, fine leather, TWIN Leather or a combination of Alcantara/ARTICO man-made leather are available as optional extras. The multifunction steering wheel can be used to call up useful vehicle data, operate the radio and the telephone and even change gears using the gearshift buttons. As the selector lever is also positioned on the steering column, an additional stowage compartment is available in the centre console.

For pleasant temperatures at all times, THERMATIC automatic climate control is fitted as standard equipment (includes the COMAND APS control) for the China market but the exclusive Harman/Kardon LOGIC 7® surround sound system is only standard equipped for ML 500 4MATIC currently.
