Overview
2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL550 Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
One look at the luxury import segment and you see -- very quickly -- the preponderance of growth in the SUV category. With the launch of its M-Class over eight years ago, Mercedes anticipated what has since become an industry-wide trend. And, while the M-Class has certainly enjoyed its share of success, its reception was hampered by the lack of a third-row seat at launch and, once a third row was finally introduced, the marginal comfort and accessibility of that seating did not impress buyers. The introduction of the GL-Class remedied this situation, creating a full-size SUV with seating for seven in an easy-to-maneuver package.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you want the benefits of Mercedes engineering, German build quality, American-style accommodations and the optional availability of a fuel-efficient turbo-diesel engine, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL delivers in spades. If third-row seating is a very occasional requirement, renting a larger vehicle might make more economic sense than maneuvering -- or propelling -- three rows of SUV on a regular basis.
What's Significant about this Car?
The 382-horsepower GL550 joins the line, touting a larger grille, sporty fender flairs and 21-inch wheels.
