In 2006, in Detroit, Mercedes-Benz Corporation introduced its innovative luxury GL-class model. The car is a seven-seater SUV, which impresses not only with a comfortable and spacious interior, but also with unique dynamic properties on a city road and in off-road situations.
The Mercedes GL-class was able to set the latest safety standard due to the fact that the car is equipped with the "Pre-safe" system, which is first installed in this segment.
In addition, the model has an impressive and stylish appearance. Using original forms, the exclusivity of the Mercedes GL SUV is emphasized. Thanks to the calm, powerful lines of the body and expressive details, the car is given swiftness.

GL Mercedes is equipped with a load-bearing body of optimum strength and an intelligent solution of lightweight steel construction. Due to this, the model is absolutely safe for both passengers and the driver. Adaptive airbags, the Pre-Safe system (which is capable of tightening belts in an emergency, returning the backrest to a vertical position and ensuring an optimal position) serve the same task.

Therefore, a ford that has a depth of half a meter can be overcome on the Mercedes GL. The air suspension is paired with the program "ADS", which is able to smooth out irregularities and provide complete comfort when driving.
