Mercedes Benz USA has released a promo video for the latest 7-seater luxury SUV to be launched in America, the 2013 GL-Class.
Since this large SUV has been tailored more to US tastes, it’s actually produced in Alabama, not Germany.
In the US, there are three engines available with the 2013 Gl-CLass - the V6 GL350 BlueTec and two twin-turbo V8s - GL450 and GL550. The base GL350 offers 240 hp and 616Nm (455 pound-feet) of torque, the GL450 puts out 362hp and 549 Nm (406 lb-ft) and the top GL550 has 429 hp and 698 (516 lb-ft).
“Quality is our first priority. The team in Tuscaloosa is doing a great job in executing a flawless launch of the GL - just like last year with the M-Class. That puts us into a very good position for the important launches here in Tuscaloosa in the future,” said Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard.
