MERCEDES-BENZ GL-klasse · photos, packages and modifications

The GL has an excellent size, which makes it bigger than Audi Q7 and Ranger Rover. It has measurements of 5141 mm in length, 1850 in height and 1982 mm in width. The design of the car keeps up with tastes of the Middle Eastern and North American markets since it is block and brash, but it is still able to have a classic appeal. The premium feel of the car is exhibited through the huge alloy wheels, lashings of chrome along with LED running lights for daytime.

There is a choice of two engines in GL, which includes a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine along with a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 petrol in AMG. The AMG version has an excellent performance, which if considering the size of the car is quite superior. It is able to give a 0-62mph within 4.9 seconds, even though this high-performance model weighs 2,580 kg. The CDI version will be perfect for those individuals who want to economize on fuel. In addition, the CDI model is also quite fast and refined, with a 0-62 mph time within 7.0 seconds. You will find the car to be an excellent, refined and relaxing ride with the Airmatic Suspension of Mercedes fitted as standard. The air suspension is able to maintain excellent composure around the corners, and it feels stable as well as solid.

Although this car has not been tested for the Euro NCAP tests, it has a host of safety feature systems which would be able to get a five-star rating. Since the car is so huge, people are most likely to get intimidated by this car on the road. In addition, the safety features such as ESP, ABS and Pre-Safe along with passenger, driver and side airbags will make this a highly secure car.

Being 11 cm longer than even the Range Rover, the Mercedes GL is able to boast of a spacious cabin. It has a seven-seater fitted as standard, and even when all the seats are in place, there are 300-litre boot spaces that can be used. The rearmost seats are able to fold flat electronically making loading and unloading much easier. If the second row of seats is also folded, then there is a boot space of 2300 liter.
