| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
No cheap plastic feeling |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very well made to a high standard. Fault-free after 1 year and 13,000 miles. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The interior textures are not of high quality. The vinyl is more utilitarian and less like other Mercedes vehicles. |
