The GL Class was mainly made for the American market, no prizes for to guessing that considering the humongous size of this vehicle and American passion for large sized cars. First made in 2006, it was first showcased at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. Though originally the GL was seen as a replacement for the G Wagon, Mercedes Benz decided to keep the G Wagon in its classic avatar and the GL was sold as a larger, 7 seater version to the M Class. We drive the GL 350 CDI and find out if size really matters.
The GL has a aggressive stance with muscular looks. The front grille seats the 3 pointed star and large headlamp assembly houses the projector lamps. On either side of the air dam is the daytime running LED lights, which look classy in chrome surrounds. Side indicators come integrated with the external rear view mirrors while the hood gets vents for air intake. The roof is outlined by roof rails with a sunroof in the middle.
