We’ve been covering the launch news of the Mercedes ML 250 CDI for quite some time now. And now after all the waiting, it is finally here.

So far, Mercedes-Benz has sold 2000 units of the M-Class in India. As a reminder, the ML 250 CDI is the younger brother of the ML 350 CDI, carrying with it the smaller 2.2-litre 4-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine that puts out 205bhp along with 500Nm of peak torque. This is the same engine that currently powers the E- and C-Class models of Mercedes. What’s more, the ML 250 CDI will come with 4X4 option for those who wish to take the SUV for an off-roading spin.

Considering the ML 250 CDI has been priced at Rs. 46.5 lakh, one would expect it to cut-back on features. Not true, The ML 250 CDI comes with all the features of the ML 350 CDI such as its Intelligent Light System, Lane Keeping Assist among others. And now all that remains to be seen is how the ML 250 CDI will fare among names like the Audi Q5 and the BMW X3.
