best car 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class ranks 4 out of 10 Luxury Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 7 published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The redesigned 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class has a high price for a three-row luxury crossover, but reviewers say that if you can pay for it, you’ll love the GL’s performance and high-tech features.
Test drivers love the way the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL drives, and appreciate the great fuel economy from its standard diesel engine. Though they write that the base engine is powerful enough for around-town driving, reviewers love the more-powerful V8 engines available in higher trims. They also write that the GL’s handling is smooth and flat in the corners, and that it feels more nimble than most other large SUVs in its price range. Unlike most other luxury large SUVs, the GL isn’t meant for off-roading, but most auto writers say that its standard all-wheel drive should be plenty capable for most muddy roads or snowy driveways that buyers will encounter.
On the inside, reviewers say the GL is roomy, luxurious and available with lots of interior tech. They write that the GL’s cabin is nicer than most of its competition, and they appreciate the power-folding second-row seats that make the third row easy to access. In past generations, reviewers complained about Mercedes’ confusing COMAND infotainment system and that criticism persists, along with charges that the system feels dated as well. Plus, many note that in order to get the cool tech features like night vision assist or active lane keeping assist, shoppers are forced to upgrade to higher trims or add expensive options packages.
