New alternatives, such as Keyless-Go, a oriented parking mirror, Parking Assist (stern view camera is necessary), and Sirius Traffic, have been added to the already extensive mix. There are minor exterior tweaks to the GL350 and GL450, and a new Post-Safe safety system for 2010. The GL-Class GL320 BlueTEC models appear well equipped with a seven-speed automatic conduction, air-adjustable suspension and a entirely mechanical all-wheel-drive system oblige no driver input whether on or off road.

If you’re in the market for a large SUV, and good on road manners are more important than ultimate off-road ability or maximum towing capacity, then the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL320 BlueTEC is worth checking out. With lavish whereabouts and seating for 7, spacious cargo hold and impressive refinement, the GL320 is a top of class contender The GL-Class uses a combination of cheaper-to-replace bolt-on steel crash boxes and lightweight aluminum sections to minimize weight and repair expenses while maximizing crash safety.
