About Mercedes-Benz ML430
The ML430 is a larger version of the Mercedes-Benz luxury sport utility vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz ML430 is an all-wheel drive, V8-powered, four-door SUV. It was introduced for the 1998 model year. This car has a lot of goodies. The ML430 has a 268-hp engine. It is very powerful. Its acceleration and braking are top-notch. And, as is often the case with Mercedes cars, you feel safe and secure in it. It's sturdy, thick-walled, and very competent. Compared to some other SUVs, the ML430 stays nice and flat in the corners. But on rough surfaces, you'll have to grip the steering wheel tightly if the road you're on is the slightest bit uneven. The ML430 seems to be inexplicably thrown off by potholes and bumps. Mercedes-Benz sacrifices too much ride quality for true off-road capability.
The ML430 uses a frame boxed at both ends with the kind of torsional rigidity needed for rigorous off-road maneuvers. On this sturdy frame, Mercedes-Benz mounts a four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension. It has an excellent on-road ride. It allows zipping through rapids and slalom at impressive speeds. The Mercedes-Benz SUV has all the touches we've come to expect with a three-tipped star on the hood. The interior materials, except the plastic on the dashboard, are top-notch. As with all Mercedes-Benz, its seats are firm, supportive, and comfortable.

The 4.3-liter/268-horsepower V-8 propels the all-wheel-drive ML430 to 60 mph in just 8.2 seconds. This is thanks to the four-wheel independent suspension and anti-roll bar. Handling is equally impressive: dodging the surge cone at 60.1 mph and sticking to the apron with 0.75 g of grip around the skid pad. Right at the end of the pavement (before it got to the rough spots), it had a very smooth ride. Also annoying to passengers is the lack of casters in the ML430's steering wheel. It proved to be perfect for off-roading, fully eliminating steering wheel kickback and rut tracking. While excellent technical measures and clever hardware could make the ML430 a competent off-road vehicle, its modest 8.4 inches of ground clearance, lack of suspension travel/articulation and low-profile street tires combine to make the ML430 unlikely to be selected when the trail gets tough - and it does.
