3rd Row Seat?

Anyone know if they are going to have a 3rd row seat option? I am thinking of trading in my car for an SUV (possibly a G-Class) but if the new M can seat more than 5 than that would make it a very good choice.

No. There will be no third row seat option in the foreseeable future.

As far as I've heard, there will not be a third row seat option in the ML. There are 2 other models coming out in the next 12 months or so that will have 6 (GST, or R Class) and 7 (G Class) passenger seating.

Hey Samoan...take a look at the R Class. You won't have to buy an aftermarket grille..:-) Seriously though, take a look at the R Class Forum. I have posted a lot of stuff there and you can get a pretty good idea of what the car is all about. I know you love your E and this will be pretty close to it yet with the features of the SUV. Not for off road if you are thinking that way. The G will be big, big and have the seats you are looking for. Good seeing you post here...look for you on the R Class.

You are exactly correct. No way there is room undr the floor for a 3rd row in the ML, and i t would cannabilize the other two lines.

The E350 and E500 Wagon do have the room. Strange that they don't fit in the W164!



E500 with third row seats

That's a bummer. But it is good to know that there will be some more options other than the E-class wagon. I love the wagon and think it's the hottest one available but just not for a guy in his twenties.
