Its distinctive lines and simulated underride guard add a special touch to the GL. Its numerous chrome highlights radiate elegance – from the roof rails to the chrome-effect fog lamp surrounds. The radiator grille and bumpers, together with the twin-pipe exhaust system integrated in the rear bumper and light-alloy wheels, underscore the GL’s stunning visual impact. Other visual highlights include its daytime driving lamps and LED tail lights.

In the generously-dimensioned interior of the GL-Class everything is designed to offer passengers the highest degree of comfort and make every journey as pleasant as possible. A highlight in the truest sense of the word is the optional ambient lighting. Luminous surfaces on the dashboard and in the door linings, lit by LEDs, provide a pleasant lighting ambience when driving at night, generating a unique climate. The lighting can remain on during the drive – without interfering with the driver’s vision.

In addition to the new seats and tube-design instrument cluster with 3D scales, the (optional) wood trim elements and two-tone leather upholstery (also optional) are real eye-catchers. They underline the design premise of the GL – to offer something special across the board.

Multicontour seats, standard with V8 models, enhance seating comfort and lateral support
