Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
For 2013, Mercedes-Benz built a completely new GL-Class7-seat crossover on the modern ML-Class platform. The popular GL350 BlueTEC version with its 400 lbs-ft turbodiesel V6 is back, as are the gasoline V8 versions, GL450 (335 hp) and GL550 (382 hp). All three are equipped with the 4Matic allwheel- drive system, teamed with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The different models will gradually arrive in dealerships during the first months of 2013.
