Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Under the current badging hierarchy, most mainstream models use familiar one-letter names like S-class or G-Wagen. So far, so logical.

After churning out a brand-new ML and tweaked G-class, Mercedes’ 4x4 range update continues apace with the new GL. The new 2012 Mercedes GL-class doesn’t look like it’s got any smaller… Correct. The Stateside favourite is still more ‘XL’ than GL, reaching more than five metres in length and two metres wide. The burly body needed to carry seven people in comfort ...

Mercedes has announced a new diesel engine, and it’s a win win situation – power is up, emissions are down. The environment can breathe a (small) sigh of relief while you have a bigger smile on your face. More importantly, it will form the base of Stuttgart's first diesel hybrid.
