The Mercedes GL Class is a 4x4 which is as big as they come, providing a safe and imposing environment for on and off-road driving.

Big performance & handling

Cutting an imposing sight on the road, the G Class has the tools it needs. With large tyres and engines that can move it at impressive speeds and acceleration, it is up to any task. Engine options include a brilliant V8 diesel, though throughout the range, performance is optimised.

Control and steering is precise, whilst the ride quality is smooth thanks to the air suspension and seven speed gear box under the bonnet. Extensive four wheel drive gadgetry includes hill descent control and adjustable ground clearance for a smoother ride.

Quality for drive, space & kit

Drivers are able to fully adjust their seat and steering wheel for the best comfort, whilst the dash is unsurprisingly well laid out. Easy gear selection is afforded through the steering column, whilst the large side windows and mirrors aid parking.

Comfortably sitting seven passengers, there is plenty of space throughout the GL Class and wide opening doors. Boot space is generous, particularly with the rear seats flattened, whilst the middle row has a 60/40 split for even more room,

With every model having stereo, cruise and climate control, electric windows and alloy wheels, the finish is as high as can be expected. Options are always available, whilst for increased performance, styling and technology, the GL63 AMG is also available.

Concentrated safety

Alongside a full complement of electronic stability and braking aids, there are airbags throughout. For additional safety, headlamps will switch on as the light dims, and alarms and immobilisers are fitted as standard.

An SUV that announces itself, the GL Class attracts admiring glances on and off road.
