Standard on both are 19-inch wheels, distinctive LED running lights and taillights, a convenient sunroof, practical roof rails, a power liftgate, and foglamps. Inside, dual-zone automatic climate control, elegant wood trim, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with manual tilt-and-telescoping adjustments create a comfortable and refined atmosphere.

The Premium 1 package offers a significant upgrade across all 2014 M-Class models, incorporating a rearview camera for enhanced visibility, power-folding exterior mirrors with auto-dimming functionality, and a 10-way power driver seat with four-way power lumbar support.
