The MLs smaller brother... More design cues from the original AAV than the ML.

It's smaller than a W164 and e.g. the rear side windows are rounded at the top. It's known as the MLK and also as the X-Class.

Actually, if correct, that IS the 164 AMG.

The MLK is the smaller ML, like the SLK is the small SL and the CLK the small CL. The hood vent reaches all the way across on the MLK, but the ML has two. The top of the rear side door is rounded on the MLK, but more squarish on the ML. There will be more differences once the slabs some off...
