Body structure
Standard
An advanced uni-body structure elevates the safety, comfort and performance of the M-Class. The passenger cell features extensive use of high and ultra-high-strength steel, plus triple-layer roof pillars and multiple reinforcements. Advanced front and rear crumple zones progressively deform to help absorb impact forces before dissipating them over, under and around the cabin. A lightweight aluminum hood and front fenders plus acoustically optimized materials enhance handling and quiet comfort.
