| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.4 Diesel | 3.2 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mercedes G class) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mercedes ML) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.
