About this generation
The first-generation M-Class launched Mercedes-Benz into the premium midsize SUV segment and was built on the W163 platform. It was sold in the United States from the start and established the model line that later evolved into the ML-Class and then GLE-Class naming. This generation ended before the 2006 redesign.
