About this generation

The facelifted W163 ML-Class updated the original SUV with revised styling and equipment while remaining on the same body code. In the United States, this phase covered the 2002 through 2005 model years and closed out the first-generation ML-Class. It remained the basis for the ML320, ML500, and ML55 AMG lineup before the W164 replacement arrived.
