Overview
If bigger equates to better then the GL-Class SUV exemplifies this in truckloads. With its length exceeding five metres, and weight of over 2.4 tonnes it is nevertheless quite sprightly as the 190kW/620Nm, 7.7L/100km, 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel GL350, the 320kW/700Nm, 11.8L/100km, 4.7 V8 turbodiesel GL500, or the 410kW/760Nm, 12.3L/100km, 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol GL63. All models run variations of seven-speed autos and are rated for towing a braked mass of 3405kg (GL500-3150kg). Safety, being a by-word of the company, consists of airbags for three rows of occupants and an array of electronic devices for enhanced over-all stability.
