Vehicle Summary: 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class

The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a seven-passenger luxury SUV built on what amounts to a large car platform for a smooth ride. The GL450 model gets a V8 engine with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The GL550 has an even stronger V8 engine. The GL320 CDI has a V6 diesel. All-wheel drive is standard. Low-range gearing for extreme off-roading is optional. An available air suspension system affords a more comfortable or sportier ride, with adjustable ground clearance. A long list of standard features includes leather, heated front seats, and eight airbags.
