Press Release) Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Grand Edition - An
exclusive, luxury specification for off-road terrain
Stuttgart – Even more visually expressive and with an even more
elegant and comfortable interior, Mercedes-Benz presents the new
GL-Class “Grand Edition”. This distinctive, new special edition of
the off-roader comes as standard with a level of spaciousness and
comfort that is on a par with a luxury saloon. Features reserved
exclusively for the "Grand Edition" designation include special
light-alloy wheels with 275/50 R 20 tyres, high‑quality, two-tone
leather seats in a new design, and wood trim in black ash. The
special Grand Edition model also offers an array of high-quality
additional equipment and is available with all the engines in the
GL-Class line-up.
The exclusive front end
of the “Grand Edition” is unmistakeable: dark-tinted headlamps, a
radiator grille with black, high-gloss louvres and a redesigned
front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lamps define the
special model. Light-alloy wheels in himalayas grey metallic – with
a high-sheen finish also available as an option – add further
exclusivity. There are other visual highlights too, such as metallic
paint finishes, heat-insulating and infrared-reflecting laminated
glass all round, aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs,
and separated exhaust tailpipe trim.
The interior of the
GL-Class accommodates up to seven occupants in comfort with an
exceptional level of spaciousness, creating the luxurious atmosphere
you would expect from Mercedes-Benz – in this case comparable to the
S-Class. For the “Grand Edition”, Mercedes-Benz has refined the
interior further, especially through the use of stylish materials.
Exclusive appointments include two-tone seats (black/porcelain or
black/maroon) in leather (or in nappa leather as an option) with a
special piping design and contrasting stitching.
Likewise only available
on the “Grand Edition” are door centre panels, armrests and
dashboard instrument panel with double-lapped felling, as well as
trim and a wood/leather steering wheel in black ash.
Other high-quality
appointments: comfort headrests for the driver and front passenger,
ambient lighting, roof liner in black designo fabric, velour floor
mats with contrasting stitching and "Grand Edition" lettering,
"Grand Edition" badge on the centre console, sports pedals in
brushed stainless steel with rubber studs and door sill panels in
stainless steel.
Powerful and economical engines
The “Grand Edition”
models are equipped with PARKTRONIC and any one of the available
engines. The V6 diesel engine in the GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC utilises
highly efficient SCR exhaust gas technology, outputs 155 kW (211 hp)
and delivers its maximum torque of 540 Newton metres at 1600 rpm. On
average this engine consumes 9.0 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres.
In the GL 350 CDI 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY, the V6 engine outputs 195
kW (265 hp) and generates torque of 620 Newton metres. It consumes
8.9 litres per 100 kilometres.
Superior power delivery
and maximum smoothness are the particular benefits of the two petrol
V8 models. These models also comply with the EU5 emissions standard.
The 5.5-litre V8 engine in the GL 500 outputs 285 kW (388 hp) and
delivers 530 Newton metres of torque. At 6.5 seconds, its
acceleration time from a standstill to 100 km/h is almost worthy of
a sports car. On the GL 450, the V8 petrol engine has a displacement
of 4.6 litres, outputs 250 kW (340 hp) and generates maximum torque
of 460 Newton metres. It takes 7.2 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100
km/h.
Agile and safe both on-road and
off-road
With innovative 4MATIC
all-wheel drive, AIRMATIC air suspension as standard, the accurate
Direct-Steer system and the Adaptive Damping System ADS, which also
comes as standard, the commanding GL-Class offers impressive
handling, guaranteeing excellent ride comfort coupled with
outstanding active safety. While the GL cuts an imposing figure on
the asphalt, it also has genuine off-road credentials. The modified
AIRMATIC air suspension enables ground clearance of up to 307
millimetres. Thanks to its low-range ratio and limited-slip
rear-axle and centre differentials, the standard Off-Road Pro
technical package opens up considerably more possibilities on
challenging terrain. Other electronic dynamic handling control
systems such as Off-Road ABS, Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) and
Hill-Start Assist also make life easier for the GL-Class driver.
