Overview Information
The GL-Class is an all-new larger luxury SUV from Mercedes-Benz. Three rows of seating and larger dimensions place it above the M-Class in the burgeoning Mercedes lineup. The powertrain features a 4.6L V8, 7-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. On the inside, there are three rows of seating for up to 7. Despite the luxury oriented interior, a number of off-road performance items suggest that the GL-Class could be used for more than suburban cruising.
What Changed:
A 50-state compliant diesel engine option is added in the GL320 BlueTEC model
