There are 2 kinds of safety:
1.car control and braking
2. accident protection for occupants
In the first one SUV generally will loose to any car in similar class.
I like driving my E-wagon much better than ML.
There is no way the owner can compare the accident protection. We have to relay on reviews and crash test, what not always is updated, or available.
I thing ML with it's weight and height gives more protection, than smaller car in the case of accident, but I am not looking forward to test it.
So far I prefer driving my E-wagon on daily bases and keep avoiding accidents (not that other drivers are not giving me lot of occasions to test the skills).
