2016 Mercedes-Benz GL SUV Design

Designed for comfort. Built for strength. Acclaimed for everything.

The deep values of the GL define its shape, and its shape defies every limitation of large SUVs. Aerodynamic and athletic outside, it's advanced and accommodating inside. From its sporty grille to substantial wheels to its sleek tail, every element of the GL comes together to create an award-winning, truly fulfilling, full-size SUV.

Three rows of luxury seating. All at the forefront of innovation.

From its heated front seats to its reclining second row to its power-folding third row, the spacious GL seats seven in first-class luxury. Richly finished and abundantly thoughtful, it's also lavishly detailed, with advanced entertainment features and such comforts available as massaging front seats and an expansive Panorama roof.

Spacious, special and especially welcoming.

Large side doors and innovative EASY-ENTRY 2nd-row seats welcome up to seven adults to three rows of luxury seating, including the generous third row. A standard power liftgate, power-folding third row and 60/40-split second row accommodate up to 93.8 cubic feet of cargo. In any configuration, the GL has an extraordinary capacity to satisfy.

Powerful, progressive and exceptionally pleasing.

A choice of four advanced Direct Injection engines make more power and torque from less fuel, including an advanced new biturbo gasoline V-6 and a state-of-the-art BlueTEC clean-diesel. Along with a paddle-shifted 7-speed automatic and brisk acceleration, they all combine certified ultralow emissions with rewarding performance.

Surefooted, smooth and unexpectedly sporting.

Standard on every GL, 4MATIC® all-wheel drive instantly sends power to the wheels that can use it best, adding confidence on snowy streets and in sharp corners in any season. Its 4-wheel independent AIRMATIC® suspension delivers silky comfort and unexpectedly crisp handling control, along with 4-wheel automatic leveling.

A handcrafted aluminum fist, in a hand-sewn leather glove.

ts handcrafted biturbo V-8 only begins to reveal the superpowers of the AMG GL63. Its 21-inch AMG® wheels conspire with an advanced AIRMATIC® suspension and ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM to ensure that its performance is as versatile as it is superlative. Its exquisite designo leather-lined cabin makes sure its luxury reaches the same summit.

A multitude of innovations for multilane roadways.

Technological teamwork helps make highway driving safer and easier. DISTRONIC PLUS® cruise control uses radar to adapt your speed to the traffic flow, even stop-and-go. Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists can alert you if it's unsafe to change lanes or if you start to drift. Active technology can help guide the GL back into its own lane.

A treat for the senses, and your sense of adventure.

Advanced entertainment, navigation and communication systems work with intuitive ease. Bluetooth® lets you make calls hands-free and play music wire-free. The elegant central controller and color displays put a world of features within easy reach. A wide array of audio options includes Sirius XM Radio and Bang & Olufsen® Premium Sound.

First-rate enjoyment for 2nd-row passengers.

A pair of big, crisp screens behind each front head restraint give your 2nd-row passengers a front-row seat for DVD movies, game play and more. Multiple inputs, two remotes and two DVD players let passengers enjoy themselves individually or together, with audio played via two wireless headsets or the GL's sound system.

Convenient connections with extraordinary benefits.

From your car, computer or smartphone, mbrace connects you and your car. And it does it in ways you already connect with the world: With an ever-growing array of apps. Remote vehicle features. The search help of Google® and Yelp. And assistance in an emergency. For 2016, five years of mbrace® Connect features and services are included.
