Every time a new Mercedes-Benz model is released, we at Fletcher Jones Motorcars take note of which of its innovative features will be most appealing to drivers in the Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington and Laguna Beach areas.
Today, as we review the Mercedes-Benz GL350 we can't help but think of the many different types of drivers who would enjoy all the new auto has to offer. For instance, even though it's not your typical family hauler, The GL350 is ideal for those who want ample cargo and passenger room, but also the decadence associated with all Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Features like a standard Eucalyptus-finished trim in the cabin are indicative of just that. What's more, for those looking for even more lavishness, there in an option to upgrade to a burled-walnut finish with auburn, quilted-leather upholstery available, as well. The massive utility vehicle boasts a 7,500-pound towing capacity, and is a quintessential representation of Mercedes-Benz engineering at its finest.
Mercedes-Benz is also offering a BlueTec diesel version featuring its signature OM642 V6 coupled with 7-speed auto transmission as standard fare. The combination allows the diesel variant GL350 to travel at a respectable 26 miles per gallon, on the highway.
The traditional gas-powered models are fitted with direct-injection V8s; the lineup includes:
- The 4.6-liter, 362 horsepower GL450
- The 4.6-liter, 429 horsepowerGL550
- And, the 5.5-liter, 550 horsepower GL63 AMG®
And, with other available features like illuminated running boards, a Bang & Olufsen audio-system, dual-panel panoramic sunroof, and heated rear seats, the Mercedes-Benz GL350 has it all.
