market segment, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class has raised safety to an even
higher level. PRE-SAFE utilises the sensors in the dynamic handling
control systems and optimises the protective function of the passive
safety components in potential accident situations. Also,

GL-Class with superior handling whatever the conditions. Together with
the standard-fit AIRMATIC air suspension, the precise speed-sensitive
power steering and the ADS Adaptive Damper System also fitted as
standard, the imposing GL-Class (wheelbase 3075 mm) handles
impressively. Special off-road features such as Downhill Speed
Regulation (DSR), hill-start assist and off-road ABS assist the GL-Class
driver off road. The Off-Road Pro engineering package, standard on all
ECE models, means the GL-Class can also handle the most extreme off-road
terrain.
The modified AIRMATIC air suspension, designed
specifically for demanding conditions, increases the ground clearance to
a maximum of 307 millimetres where required, and raises the fording
depth to 600 millimetres. A fixed panoramic sunroof over the third-row
seats, which is equipped with a sunblind, also provides additional
comfort and enhances the sense of spaciousness.

seating row with special AC vents, COMAND APS with integrated 6–disc DVD
changer and reversing camera and also comes with Rear seat
entertainment system and infrared headphones from Mercedes-Benz

headroom and legroom, even in the third row, and easy access is assured
thanks to the high roof edge and large door opening angle of up to 64°.
The two individual third-row seats offer plenty of room in all
directions. They can also be folded at the press of a button to create a

of power and torque. The GL 350 CDI accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in
