This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, as well as reliability and safety data.</p> <div class="overview-ranks"> <p>The 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is ranked:</p> <ul> <li><span><sup>#</sup>2</span> in <a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/rankings/Luxury-Large-SUVs/">Luxury Large SUVs</a></li> <li><span><sup>#</sup>5</span> in <a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/rankings/Luxury-SUVs-with-3-Rows/">Luxury SUVs with 3 Rows</a></li> <li><span><sup>#</sup>11</span> in <a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/rankings/Luxury-Crossover-SUVs/">Luxury Crossover SUVs</a></li> </ul> </div> <p>Reviewers agree that the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is very well-rounded, with a comfortable ride, a strong and fuel-efficient diesel base engine and an opulent interior.</p> <p>Most test drivers agree that the GL350 is the best GL-Class trim for most consumers. It has the lowest base price of the model lineup, and test drivers say its turbodiesel V6 engine has ample power and torque. The GL450, GL550 and GL63 AMG each offer a twin-turbo, gas-powered V8 engine. Test drivers agree the GL450 accelerates quickly, and add that the performance of the other two trims is even more impressive. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard with all engines, and most reviewers agree that it shifts smoothly and quickly. Fuel economy is up to an EPA-estimated 19/26 mpg city/highway in the diesel-powered GL350, which is very good for the class. The V8-powered GL450 is rated at 14/19 mpg, which is comparable to the fuel economy of other V8-powered SUVs in the class. Test drivers report that the GL-Class has a comfortable and composed ride over rough roads, though some critics find it hard to push the GL-Class through fast turns. The GL-Class also earns praise for it strong brakes and precise steering.</p> <p>The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class' cabin is constructed with top-notch materials, according to test drivers. They say the seven-seat GL-Class' front seats are all-day comfortable and that the middle row offers plenty of legroom. As is typical of the class, the third row receives mixed reviews, as some testers note that it isn't comfortable on long trips for anyone other than kids. The GL-Class also offers a good amount of cargo space for the class. Mercedes-Benz fits every GL-Class with dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera and its COMAND infotainment system, which controls most stereo and phone functions. Some reviewers report that COMAND is intuitive and works well, while others have difficulty making some stereo adjustments. Options include a 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, tri-zone automatic climate control, blind spot monitoring and a surround view camera system, which uses multiple cameras to give the driver a view all around the GL-Class to aid low-speed maneuvering such as parking.</p> <ul> <li class="quote quote-pos">"It's hard to exaggerate the epic scale of this vehicle. The 7-seat GL has the passenger space of a minivan, the ride of an S-Class luxury sedan and the acceleration of a sports car. It has every techno-gadget in the book. There's even a completely absurd AMG version that makes 550 horsepower." -- <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141103203049/http://www.autotrader.com/research/article/car-reviews/216832/2014-mercedes-benz-gl-class-new-car-review.jsp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">AutoTrader</a></li> <li class="quote quote-pos">"Roomy, powerful and solidly built, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is one of the very best three-row crossover SUVs you can buy." -- <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141103203049/http://www.edmunds.com/mercedes-benz/gl-class/2014/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Edmunds</a></li> <li class="quote quote-pos">"It's built with impeccable precision and structural integrity, is amazingly quiet, its suspension deals with any paved or non-paved surface you will likely encounter, and any one of its four available engines cranks out impressive power.

Four trims are available, which range from the GL350 with a turbodiesel, 3.0-liter V6 engine to the high-performance GL63 AMG with a twin-turbo, 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. The GL-Class was redesigned for the 2013 model year and sees few changes for 2014. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from the 2013 and 2014 model years.</p> <p><strong><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/2014/specs/">See full 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class specs »</a></strong></p> <div class="last-update">Review Last Updated: 5/14/14</div> <div id="read-more-links"> <h3>Learn More</h3> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/Performance/">Performance</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/Interior/">Interior</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/Safety/">Safety</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/Reliability/">Recalls & Reliability</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/2014/photos-exterior/">Pictures</a></li> <ul> </div> <div id="doubleclickTile5" style="display:none;" class="ad_pov ad"> <script type="text/javascript"> renderDoubleClickDynamic(5, adParameters,false, "doubleclickTile5"); </script> </div> <div id="next-steps"> <h3>Next Steps: Mercedes-Benz GL-Class</h3> <ul> <li class="dealer-quote"> <a href="#get-prices" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141103203049/http://bestprice.rankingsandreviews.com/redirect-link.html?chromeTrimId=363403&referrer_id=ZUSNA0040">View the best prices for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class</a> </li> <div id="get-prices"> To get local pricing, enter your zip code: <input type="text" class="zipCode zip-field" id="zipcode_next_steps" value="Zip Code"/> <span id="next-steps-bpp">Get Best Price</span> <span id="cancel-zip">Cancel</span> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var ns_chromeId = 363403; var ns_referrer_id = 'ZUSNA0040'; if ($.cookie("zipCode")){ $('.dealer-quote a').click(function() { var ns_zipCode = $.cookie("zipCode"); submit_zag_form(ns_chromeId, ns_zipCode, ns_referrer_id); }); } else { $('.dealer-quote a').leanModal({top: 200, overlay: 0.5}); $('#next-steps-bpp').click(function() { var ns_zipCode = $('#zipcode_next_steps').val(); submit_zag_form(ns_chromeId, ns_zipCode, ns_referrer_id); }); $('#cancel-zip').click(function(){ $('#lean_overlay').hide(); $('#get-prices').hide(); }); } </script> <li class="loan"><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/financing/car-payment-calculator/2014-Mercedes-Benz-GL-Class-1255603/">Calculate monthly payment and apply for a loan</a></li> <li class="trueCar"><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/prices/">See what others paid for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class</a></li> <li class="used"><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/used-cars/for-sale/Mercedes-Benz_GL-Class/">Search used Mercedes-Benz GL-Class for sale (2,862 listings)</a></li> <li class="rankings"><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/rankings/Luxury-Large-SUVs/">See Luxury Large SUVs rankings</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display:none;" id="zag-learn-more-text"> <h4>With the U.S. News Best Price Program you get...<span>X</span></h4> <ul id="what-you-get"> <li id="savings"> <h5>Great Savings</h5> Shoppers have seen average savings of $3,221 off MSRP.** </li> <li id="pricing"> <h5>Minimum Savings Guarantee</h5> The selected Certified Dealer will provide you with the Guaranteed Savings found on your Certificate for all the vehicles on its lot of the same make, model, and trim combination.* </li> <li id="dealers"> <h5>A Hassle-Free Car Buying Experience</h5> Work with trusted, program-certified dealers who will honor your Minimum Savings Guarantee* without any high pressure sales tactics. </li> </ul> <p id="zag-learn-more"><a href="/web/20141103203049/http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/best-price-program/">Learn more about the U.S. News Best Price Program »</a></p> <p id="zag-footnote">* Guaranteed Savings not available in all states. In these states, a Target Price is shown, which is a market-based example of what you can reasonably expect to pay for your vehicle as configured. Your configured vehicle may not be available or in-stock at the Certified Dealer. With Guaranteed Savings, the selected TrueCar Certified Dealer guarantees that you will receive at least a certain, stated minimum savings amount off the base Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP"), including any vehicle-specific manufacturer incentives that may be currently available. Guaranteed Savings only applies to new, in-stock vehicles at the selected TrueCar Certified Dealers. Incentives subject to certain terms, conditions and restrictions; see your TrueCar Certified Dealer for details.</p> <p id="zag-footnote">** Between 4/1/14 and 6/30/14, the average estimated savings off MSRP presented by TrueCar Certified Dealers to users of TrueCar powered websites, based on users who configured virtual vehicles and subsequently purchased a new vehicle of the same make and model listed on the certificate from Certified Dealers, was $3,221, including applicable vehicle specific manufacturer incentives. Your actual savings may vary based on multiple factors including the vehicle you select, region, dealer, and applicable vehicle specific manufacturer incentives which are subject to change. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") is determined by the manufacturer, and may not reflect the price at which vehicles are generally sold in the dealer's trade area as not all vehicles are sold at MSRP. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
