2000 Mercedes Benz M-class
2000: The Mercedes-Benz M-class has undergone various improvements - all three rear seats now have lap-sash seat belts, as is the modern trend, consequently the rear seat backs have been simplified to (just) a 60:40 split. Side air-bags for the rear seats are an option. The leather trim on the luxury option pack now includes door-trim and door handles, and has been generally improved in response to European (particularly) criticism.
