Mercedes W164 from the USA - why is it worth it?

Passenger cars Mercedes from USA are better equipped than cars offered in Europe, because American customers are more demanding in this regard. In addition, the design of the ML W164 in the American version is safer than the European one, since it has thicker A-pillars. The auto is therefore heavier, but with such a strong range of engines this does not matter much. If we are talking about engines, the offer in the USA is somewhat poorer, but the focus is on gasoline units. The hybrid variant should be taken as a curiosity and was only available in the US for a short time.
