ML63 Over CLS550/63

curious to know if anyone here purchased the ML63 over the CLS?

I’m currently down to these two vehicles. I know they fit different needs, but it would be nice to hear some owners opinions on this.

I had an 14 e63s and now have a 14 ml63.

Performance wise the cls63 will be quicker to 60 and shift faster as the ml63 has a torque converter for towing capability.

Personally I'm happier with the ml63 all around, more comfortable, more cargo area when needed, can tow, and better traction on snow or ice due to being heavier and the 40/60 split, where the cls is 33/66. The heated/cooled cupholders in the ml63 are pretty nice too.

Both vehicles I did off-road Downpipes, Eurocharged tune and filters.

i would base your decision on where you live. if you see any type of snow, ML63 all day. i have the ML63, my better half has a CLS55. we also have a truck that he drives in the snow. i personally like sitting up higher, and having that 560hp under my right foot is intoxicating, as is the noise it makes!!

I bought the ML63 over a CLS63S

For me it's better for work and all round 4WD etc

If I didn't need the space etc I most likely would've went with the CLS63S especially as there's no new CLS63 and it's being replaced by the AMG GT 4dr
