Used 2014 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 550

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML550 4MATIC sits at the sweet spot of the M-Class range: a true V8 flagship (short of AMG) that delivers the kind of effortless thrust, composure, and long-distance refinement that made this generation such a standout in the five-passenger luxury SUV category. This particular ML550 is an especially compelling find thanks to its exceptionally low mileage—just 29,315 miles since new—and it presents in an understated, high-end spec with Steel Gray Metallic exterior paint over a black leather interior.

At the heart of the ML550 is Mercedes-Benz’s twin-turbocharged V8, producing 402 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed through a 7-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles, and the ML550’s standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive system gives it confident traction in a wide range of conditions. Mercedes-Benz claimed a 0–60 mph time of 5.3 seconds for the ML550—serious acceleration for a midsize luxury SUV with real substance behind it—and the EPA fuel economy estimate is 16 mpg combined (14 city / 19 highway). When properly equipped, ML550 models are rated to tow up to 7,200 pounds, adding genuine capability to the performance story.

For 2014, Mercedes-Benz expanded the M-Class technology and personalization story by making features like the Splitview system available as a special-order item—an example of how this model year leaned further into advanced in-cabin tech. Step inside and you’ll see why this era of Mercedes SUVs still earns respect: the M-Class cabin is known for its substantial build feel, excellent materials quality, and a quiet, composed driving environment. Practicality remains a strong point as well, with 38.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats and 80.0 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded, all while keeping a comfortable, roomy five-passenger layout.

This ML550 is further elevated by the $3,920 Premium 1 Package, which meaningfully upgrades daily comfort and technology. Highlights include the COMAND Navigation system with AM/FM and an upgraded media setup (7.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen with 3D map views, enhanced voice control, 10GB music register, 6-disc CD/DVD changer, SD card slot, Gracenote album info, and SIRIUSXM Traffic/Weather capability), plus key convenience features like the Rearview Camera, power-folding exterior mirrors, auto-dimming side and rearview mirrors, driver memory seat, power tilt/telescoping steering column, and a 115V AC power outlet located in the 2nd row. It also includes SIRIUSXM Satellite Radio and the Media Interface with the iPod/MP3 cable listed in the package content.

Comfort and usability are exactly what you want in a luxury V8 SUV, and this ML550 delivers with power-adjustable front seats with heating, driver seat memory, a power liftgate, and the added open-air feel of the $1,090 Power Panorama Sunroof. Rounding it out, as provided, this ML550 comes with a clean CARFAX and is a 1-owner vehicle. The result is a rare combination of big-torque twin-turbo V8 performance, all-weather 4MATIC confidence, and a carefully selected equipment list—anchored by remarkably low miles—that makes the 2014 ML550 such a standout when you want a Mercedes-Benz SUV that feels genuinely special from the driver’s seat.
