Mercedes
GL
The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (code name
X164) is a Daimler AG full-size SUV built by the German
automaker Mercedes-Benz since 2006. The GL-Class debuted
at the 2006 North American International Auto Show.
The car was designed for the American market, which
is shown by its large size, making it bigger than Audi's
Q7. Although the car was designed for the US market,
it is also sold in Europe, albeit in far fewer numbers.
It lacks the boxy styling and body-on-frame
construction of the G-Class in favor of a modified
version of the M-Class' unibody architecture. Many
motorists consider it the "Elongated and
Wider" version of the recently redesigned M-Class.
It is a three-row, seven-passenger crossover SUV with
much more luxurious equipment than previous civilian
G-Class vehicles. All future GL-Class vehicles will
be assembled at Daimler AG's Alabama factory. |
