  • 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL
    2016 GL THE MEASURES THAT MATTER BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY INTO A LUXURY SUV, LOOK BEYOND HOW MUCH IT HOLDS. EXAMINE THE PRINCIPLES IT UPHOLDS. Standard and available equipment varies by model. Please see back of brochure. SEVEN SEATS AT THE FOREFRONT The GL offers first-class luxury to all seven of its passengers — even in the third row. Its air suspension handles changing roads and cargo loads with equal ease. Its safety innovations watch the road ahead and the trailer behind. And its cabin is a showcase of high- end refinement and high-tech advancement. From the ultimate family road trip to the everyday moments that make life rich, the GL upholds even more than it holds. You can measure a large luxury SUV by many dimensions. Only one has the depth of engineering, and the height of character, that make it a Mercedes-Benz. THE PROMISE OF FULFILLMENT THE GL WAS NOT DEVELOPED BY ASKING “HOW BIG SHOULD IT BE?” MERCEDES-BENZ ENGINEERS ANSWERED “HOW GOOD COULD IT BE?” CONFIDENCE YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL Chiseled muscle, polished chrome, and 19" to 21" wheels create more than a powerful visual presence. What you feel from the GL driver seat is even more impressive. Elegant proportions conceal greater space and comfort than several of its bulkier competitors, including a third row that’s unusually inviting. From aerodynamics to acoustics, Mercedes-Benz engineers let no detail escape their scrutiny. The result is agility, stability and visibility that set the GL apart, and put you ahead. Other luxury SUVs may wrap you in flashy swagger.

  • Pact Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC – the Harmonious Efficiencyofall-Wheel Drive Harmonious the Tailed, Interesting Information on This Subject in ADVANTAGES IC
    Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC – the harmonious efficiency of all-wheel drive compact Extra driving safety, dynamics and well-suited to winter use are helping all-wheel drive systems to become popular in all vehicle classes. In the Mercedes-Benz models, 4MATIC is available in two differ- ent versions: in the E-Class with an open central differential and with additional technical improve- ments in the S, CL, C (refer also to ADVANTAGEScompact 18/07) and GLK-Classes. The CL 500 4MAT- IC is therefore the only luxury coupé with all-wheel drive apart from the Bentley Continental GT. (A later edition of ADVANTAGEScompact will inform you about the 4MATIC in the off-road models of the GLK, M, GL and the all-wheel drive of the G-Class). The press seems to be impressed: 4MATIC "... works so well that at the end of a winter's day you could be- lieve that snow is nothing more than white-coloured asphalt." Stern/D, 19.12.07 4MATIC: balanced power distribution without surprises As with any permanent all-wheel drive, the 4MATIC also works with a central differential. A double epi- cyclic gearbox distributes the power dynamically in a ratio of 45:55% (f:r). ESP® and 4ETS® take on "locking" functions. The new generation of the 4MATIC in the S, CL, C and GLK-Classes with two-disc clutch and 50 Nm locking torque between the axles improves traction and driving stability even further. That leads to predictable driving behaviour. This makes the model with 4MATIC even faster when driving away, especially on ice and snow.
