The M-Class (luxury & sports) is a reasonably safe car, say the Euro NCAP test results. The car comes equipped with seven airbags, belt tensioners, belt-force limiters and crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraints, the SUV ensures its occupants an excellent standard of protection in the event of an accident.

The M-Class comes with an anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE that makes use of the valuable seconds which elapse between a critical situation being identified and a possible impact ensuing, to instigate protective measures.
