2012 M-Class

Little was left untouched with Mercedes' redesign of its midsize SUV, the 2012 M-Class. This five-seater has a new look inside and out as well as revised engine offerings and chassis. Of course, we focused on child-safety seats, and we were excited to fit three car seats across the ML350's backseat. Very few two-row vehicles — luxury or otherwise — can handle three across.
For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide 30 rear-facing infant-safety seat, a Britax Roundabout convertible child-safety seat and Graco high-back TurboBooster seat.
The front seats are adjusted to a comfortable position for a 6-foot driver and a 5-foot-8 passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver's seat, and the infant seat and convertible seats are installed behind the passenger seat. We also install the infant seat in the second row's middle seat with the booster and convertible in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit. If there's a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible.
Here's how the 2012 M-Class did in Cars.com's Car Seat Check:
Latch system: The M-Class has two sets of lower Latch anchors in the second row's outboard seats. The anchors are extremely easy to use because they sit out in the open. The SUV's three tether anchors are also a cinch to use. They're midway down the seatbacks.
Booster seat: The second row's seatbacks recline, which helps a variety of car seats get a good fit. Our high-back booster seat fit well in the second row. The seat belt buckles are on stable bases, making it easier for kids to buckle up independently.

Mercedes-Benz M-Class

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ranks 10 out of 20 Luxury Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 9 published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The redesigned 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class impresses reviewers with its attractive exterior, powerful, yet fuel-efficient V6 engines and more standard features.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class is completely new, and reviewers are happy about the changes they’ve seen so far. The consensus of the auto press for the 2011 model was that it was pricey, and its competitors offered better value. Mercedes-Benz must have taken these comments to heart, because the 2012 M-Class comes with a more extensive list of standard features and has the same base price as the outgoing model. "Mercedes-Benz continues to keep it fresh with an all-new version of its popular M-Class SUV. More powerful engines with better fuel economy, improved handling and new technologies are all ingredients to a prize-winning recipe,” writes Left Lane News. “That they are able to do it and add additional content while holding the line on price-creep is even more impressive.”
