Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
One of the most popular SUVs in the category, the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is for those who need room and the brand’s signature comfort and luxury. The GL has surprising handling and an excellent towing capacity (up to 3500 kg or 7716 lbs.). The most popular GL is definitely the diesel version that combines capacity and economy. Otherwise, the brutish AMG can also really knock your socks off.
