Mercedes-Benz GL-Class X164 facelift

Product Overview
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class X164 facelift is a full-size crossover in production from 2009 to 2012. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 5.5 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift, little has really changed. The same engines were carried over with minimal updates on the diesel side. The exterior of the vehicle was tweaked with more LEDs, but one can hardly tell which is preferred.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Mercedes-Benz GL is hardly the "offroader" that Mercedes-Benz would like you to think. Owners may find that at speed the vehicle consumes a lot more than the numbers indicate, thanks to a disappointing 0.36 coefficient of drag to show for it.
