The Mercedes-Benz ML450 Hybrid includes a 3.5 liter V6 engine and two electric motors. The ML450 Hybrid can be driven using electric power alone at low speeds. This combination gives the ML450 Hybrid an EPA fuel economy rating of 21 mpg city, 24 mpg highway.
Like many luxury class hybrids, the Mercedes Benz ML 450 makes use of regenerative brakes. One new element in the 2011 model is an innovative in-vehicle service called mbrace. mbrace replaces Mercedes’ Tele Aid. The service offers security and safety features including automatic collision notification, SOS/emergency calling, roadside assistance, stolen vehicle location assistance, and alarm notification.
Services accessible via mobile phone include remote door lock and unlock, vehicle finder, Mercedes-Benz Concierge, and roadside assistance. As noted, the design changes in earlier M Class models are carried over here in the 2011 ML450.
