Overview
The Mercedes-Benz GLE, formerly known as the M-Class (designated with 'ML' nomenclature), is a mid-size luxury SUV produced by Mercedes-Benz since 1997. The W166 generation of the ML-Class was built in Stuttgart for the European and Australian markets from 2011 to 2015, before production moved entirely to Vance, Alabama with the release of the facelifted model in 2015. This generation transitioned to a unibody platform, sharing components with the GL-Class, which offers third-row seating.

History & notable variants
In 2011, Mercedes-Benz introduced the W166 generation ML-Class as part of its efforts to harmonize SUV naming conventions by aligning it with the E-Class. The model received significant updates in styling and technology but retained its position as a mid-size luxury crossover. In April 2015, at the New York Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the facelifted W166 ML-Class, which marked the transition to the GLE nameplate.
