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.

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

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.

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.
