Mercedes-Benz GL-Class car

Power

Power

Diesel or petrol, V6 or V8, you can be sure that the Mercedes powerplant inside any GL-Class has the power to cope with anything. Take the GL320 CDI – 224 hp, with a peak torque delivery of 510Nm and that's the baby of the range.

Transmission

A total of 7 forward ratios in the intelligent 7G-Tronic automatic transmission means almost seamless gear changes and reduced fuel consumption. If you want to suddenly pick up the pace, just kickdown on the accelerator to instantly shift to the optimum gear for maximum acceleration.

Traction & Stability

Load distribution across the wheels of a normal vehicle can become unbalanced on uneven surfaces, risking wheel spin and a dangerous loss of control. The GL's 4MATIC selective brake actuation redirects the engine's torque to the wheels with grip, for more sure-footed progress. Backed up by 4ESP® for wheel-by-wheel braking, it provides excellent traction and stability.

Off-road muscle

The Off-Road Pro Package readies the GL-Class for almost any terrain, equipping it to take on approach gradients of up to 33 degrees. Plus low range gearing and Downhill Speed Regulation means climbing steep slopes, or getting safely down the other side, becomes considerably easier.

Safer Towing

In any towing situation there's a risk of the trailer starting to swerve from side to side. The GL's ESP® trailer stabilisation function is designed to recognise this type of hazard and counteract it with targeted application of the brakes.

Refined

Unparalled Safety

Mercedes-Benz have always led the way in vehicle safety and the Active and Passive Safety system is another big step towards the goal of accident free driving. Combining state-of-the-art accident prevention equipment, like adaptive braking lights, with pre and post collision measures, it ensures the best possible outcome for the vehicle's occupants. You can learn more about Active and Passive Safety here.

A Perfect Ride

All-round, AirMATIC Air suspension keeps the ride height constant at all times, so even if the road's rocky, your journey isn't. The accompanying Adaptive Damping System (ADS) can be set to either Auto, Sport or Comfort, to tailor the ride to your specific preference.

Versatile Interior

Fold down the second row of seats, then electronically lower third and suddenly you're looking at 2,300 litres of load space. Getting to it couldn't be easier, thanks to the optional Easy-Pack electronic tailgate which opens and closes at the touch of a button.

In Car Entertainment

Enjoy front row viewing from your second row seats with optional, seat back entertainment. Watch DVDs, tune into digital television, plug in a games console, or turn them off and listen to the optional, 11 speaker, Harman Kardon® surround sound system instead.

Keyless GO

With optional Keyless Go, the infrared key rests in your pocket the whole time. Just pull the door handle, hit the start button and off you go.

Parking Assistance

Take the strain off your neck with a camera on the rear of your car. The optional reversing camera monitors the area directly to the rear of the vehicle and broadcasts it to the COMAND system display so you can reverse with confidence.
