2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Base GL450 4dr All-wheel Drive 4MATIC Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class:

The GL-Class has strong acceleration from the gasoline V8, gas mileage in the 20s with the diesel V6, quiet interior, many available luxury amenities, excellent fit and finish, and comfortable seating.

-- Edmunds.com

The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is large and capable off road yet feels surprisingly car-like on the road. That car-like feeling comes in part because this is the first full-size SUV built around a unibody architecture instead of traditional body-on-frame construction.

-- New Car Test Drive

What reviewers liked least about the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class:

Ride quality might be a little floaty for some.

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Comparisons:

The GL is a worthy entry in its segment, but it has none of the charisma of the Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes-Benz's own G-class, which it was supposed to supplant.

Best one-liner about the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class:

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class drives much smaller than a full-size SUV should, and it costs less than you might expect.
