New Mercedes GL Class

Updated



Mercedes says the GL Class is the S-Class of off-roaders. That's funny, because most of us think of the old GL-Class as the Maybach of off-roaders: oversized, overpriced and over here (it is very popular in America, though, where it does not look like the design was run through the photocopier on zoom function).

The new version at least looks a bit better. Apart from the Mercedes grille, it is pretty generic, and certainly won't cause any sleepless nights at Land Rover, but at least it is inoffensive. As you would expect from a new Mercedes, it is an absolute tech-fest. As well as the usual ESP traction control, self-parking and downhill speed control, there are things you never knew you needed.
