The GL‑Class can seat seven in luxurious comfort. It can hold a
truly impressive amount of cargo. But that’s not how it became
the best‑selling vehicle in its class. It unseated the competition
by upholding the values that make it a Mercedes‑Benz. When
you compare SUVs, examine the dimensions that matter most:
The depth of its engineering. And the height of its principles.
GL 350 BlueTEC. Clean diesel1 power
generates a massive 455 lb‑ft of torque,
so you can tow up to 7,500 lbs.2 And
at 26 highway mpg, you can travel over
600 miles per tank.3 Confident 4matic®
all‑ wheel drive teams with capable and
self‑leveling AIRMATIC® suspension, for
rewarding performance on any surface.
GL 450. An advanced new biturbo V‑6
delivers the same 362 hp and 7,500‑lb
tow rating as last year’s V‑8 with higher
fuel economy. At red lights, it becomes
greener, as its ECO Start/Stop system
pauses the engine automatically. When
you’re ready to go, it wastes no time in
its 6.6‑second rush to 60 mph.4 On any
road, and in any season, its 4matic and
AIRMATIC systems take it all in stride.
GL 550. A 429‑hp biturbo V‑8 sends
516 lb‑ ft of torque to all four of its 21"
AMG® wheels. Its 5.5‑second charge to
60 mph can shame a few sports cars.
Adaptive damping hones its handling to
an even sharper edge. And with a lavish
list of standard equipment, it’ll hold its
own with the finest luxury sedans — all
while gently holding seven passengers.
GL 63 AMG. With a handcrafted 550‑hp
biturbo V‑8, it can catapult to 60 mph
in 4.8 seconds, and might be the most
powerful 7‑seat SUV on the planet.
It matches power with panache in its
cabin and on the road — from its hand‑
sewn designo Nappa leather, to its
21" wheels, AMG‑spec AIRMATIC®
and clever ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM.

Character. The true

measure of an SUV.
With its chiseled muscle, sizable wheels and bold grille,
it would be easy to dismiss the GL’s presence as mere
swagger. But from behind the wheel, its agility, stability
and visibility give you something even more valuable than
what’s visible on the outside: a confident feeling inside.

In developing the GL‑Class, Mercedes‑ Benz engineers didn’t
InformationProvidedby:
focus only on how big it should be, but how good it could be.
The result is an SUV that offers the passenger and cargo
space you need, while embodying all the values that earn a
vehicle the coveted Star in its grille. Its design is sculpted
and elegant, with a solid stance and balanced propor tions.
Countless hours in virtual and actual wind tunnels honed
every detail of its body and undercarriage. The results can
be felt even more than they can be seen — although the tight
body gaps, sealed seams between the headlamps and hood,
and the prominent rear spoiler offer visible evidence. Less
apparent are the tiny, drag‑reducing airfoils in front of each
tire, the engine compartment paneling that reduces under‑
car turbulence, and the side mirrors that help divert road
spray from the windows. An aeroacoustic windshield targets
specific sound frequencies, to enhance the quality of hands‑
free calls and audio playback. GL‑Class wheels range from
a substantial 19" to a superlative 21" in diameter. They team
up with a rigid yet light uni‑body and 4‑ wheel independent
AIRMATIC® suspension — for handling precision that sets the
GL a world apart from its pickup truck‑based competition.
The GL embodies all the virtues you expect of a large SUV —
comfort, confidence, capability and capacity — and wraps
them in the value that defines a Mercedes‑ Benz: character.
Grand. To its tiniest detail.

Out of all its generous capacities, it’s the capacity to please that
defines the GL cabin. Attention to detail is one reason, from the
impossibly precise stitching of its seats to its hand‑finished wood
trim. Attention to you — and to all of your passengers — is an even
greater dimension, like its standard heated power front seats.
Its second and third rows offer the most headroom in its class.
And there’s more 3rd‑row legroom than most of its competitors,
too. On any scale, the GL goes to great lengths to satisfy you.

Most any SUV gives you a commanding view of the road.
Imparting actual command of it is another story. In the
GL‑Class, numerous engineering innovations continually
collaborate to keep it limber in places where other SUVs
just lumber — taking a corner, for example, or tackling a
crosswind. Its AIRMATIC® suspension turns pressurized
air into poised performance — instantly adjusting the way
each wheel responds to bumps, curves and gusts. It also
compensates for cargo, enhances 3rd‑row comfort, and
self‑lowers at speed to save fuel. Sure, your passengers
might say the GL rides like the proverbial cloud. But to
a driving enthusiast, it handles with an air of authority.

Performance. In the
InformationProvidedby:
large economy size.
How a large SUV performs takes a more sophisticated
approach than pouring more power into a bigger box.
A GL‑Class is engineered at full size and full strength,
but every granule of its performance is engineered
to deliver bigger results from less weight, while using
fewer resources, and leaving behind a smaller imprint
on the earth. Its family of advanced Direct Injection
engines exert extreme pressure on their gasoline or
diesel fuel, squeezing more torque from each droplet.
Its all‑wheel drive monitors every wheel for the first
inkling of wheelspin, instantly redistributing torque to
the tires with the best traction. And if a crosswind or
passing truck creates a tiny ripple in the steering, the
GL compensates so quickly you might not even feel it.
To make a GL drive like a Mercedes‑Benz is no small
thing. It’s thousands of them. And that’s the big idea.
