Side view of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
Mercedes-Benz has an unmatched lineup of performance and luxury cars. Because of these iconic automobiles, the GL-Class doesn’t get a lot of attention. The GL-Class has been in the background of the SUV industry for the last ten years and although it is not as popular as the SL-Class or the E-Class, the GL is one of the most luxurious SUVs on the planet. It is the largest passenger vehicle that Mercedes-Benz sells and many people are surprised to learn that the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class comes with an optional off-road package that makes it much more than just a carpool vehicle.
The GL-Class is actually very similar to the S-Class in terms of comfort. The GL comfortably seats seven adults on premium leather. Power reclining and folding seats are a standard for all three rows in the GL, which even has available front row messaging seats.

When you opt for the off-road package, you get a magic button that lives on the center console. The button is magic because it works the same way that the new DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes work in the 2016 GLC and 2016 GLE SUVs. It turns the GL-Class into a new vehicle by adjusting how it drives. This means the transmission, engine, anti-lock brakes, and traction control all act differently for better use in an off-road setting. The luxury sedan can even adjust its clearance from the ground to better navigate large rocks or steep inclines.

Another highlight of the GL-Class that people overlook is the GL63 AMG. As the models flagship trim, it features a 5.5-liter V8 engine with two turbochargers and 550 horsepower. If you are impressed by that, then the top speed of 174 miles per hour will probably render you unconscious.
