The new Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: First class in all conditions
Stuttgart, Apr 04, 2012
Comfort, safety, elegance, efficiency -- the new GL-Class from Mercedes-Benz demonstrates leadership qualities in all the decisive SUV disciplines. Innovations such as the standard-specification Crosswind Assist, the STEER CONTROL steering assistance system, the load recognition and the COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST (CPA) increase the active safety. Other new features to become available are assistance systems such as Active Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Assist, together with a parking package incorporating an automatic function for entering and exiting parking spaces, plus a 360° camera. With excellent driving dynamics and high levels of ride comfort -- both on the road and on difficult terrain -- the GL-Class pampers its occupants with the first-class comfort of a luxury saloon. Up to seven passengers enjoy an excellent amount of space. Numerous BlueEFFICIENCY measures significantly increase the energy efficiency: the GL 350 BlueTEC 4 MATIC diesel model, for instance, consumes 7.4 litres of diesel per hundred kilometres, which is around 20 percent less than the predecessor, whilst also undercutting the future Exhaust emission regulations in accordance with EU 6. In the case of the 300 kW (408 hp) GL 500 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY petrol model, the fuel consumption falls by about 18 percent.
Dr Joachim Schmidt, Executive Vice President Mercedes-Benz Cars, Sales & Marketing, has it spot on when he describes the new generation as follows: "The new GL-Class occupies the top position amongst the luxury SUVs. With its comprehensive assistance systems it has a pioneering role where safety and comfort are concerned, and is on a par with an S-Class -- even off the beaten track." Even at first glance the 2012 GL-Class is recognisable as a characteristic representative of the Mercedes-Benz Sports Utility Vehicle family. This new interpretation of the first generation impresses with its powerful dynamism and sporty elegance. In the front area the hallmark GL upright radiator grille with its central star and the clear, high-quality design of the headlamps with an LED flare dominate. The daytime running lamps featuring LED technology are integrated in a chrome insert in the bumper, and beneath the radiator grille the generously sized chrome-look underguard completes the self-confident appearance of the front.
With its balanced proportions (a length of 5120 mm, width of 2141 mm and height of 1850 mm) and the large wheelbase (measuring 3075 mm), the side view underlines the vehicle's on-road emphasis. At the same time the short body overhangs at the front and rear, together with the large ground clearance, point to its off-road suitability. The hallmark-SUV high beltline with its high-quality trim, the feature line which rises dynamically and the chrome edging on the window surfaces highlight the vehicle's effortlessly superior look. As part of its standard specification the GL is shod with attractive 10-spoke 18‑inch light-alloy wheels, and as an option wheels up to 53.3 cm (21 inches) are available. The tail end with two-piece LED tail lights featuring fibre optics, a large roof spoiler and the bumper in a contemporary "wing design" with a generously chromed underguard rounds off the befitting appearance of the luxurious full-size SUV.
For GL customers who place particular importance on a sporty, dynamic appearance, an extensive AMG Exterior Sports package is now available for the first time. In addition to the hallmark-AMG front and rear apron, it also offers special wheel-arch flarings, which span over the 53.3 cm (21-inch) AMG 5‑twin-spoke light-alloy wheels. Illuminated aluminium-look running boards also form part of the scope of supply, as do perforated brake discs and brake calliper covers with Mercedes-Benz lettering.

New Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2013 Advertising Trailer
The New York Auto Show 2012 is right around the corner, so let the embargo-break-a-palooza begin. Ahead of its official unveiling later this week, a few images of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class have leaked onto the web, and if you're familiar with Merc's new design language, the updates to the big GL will come as no surprise.
Up front, the new headlamp design seen on the SLK and SL has translated to the GL, complete with LED running lamps flanking each side above large air intakes. The design almost looks AMG-like, and while we never truly warmed to the design of the current GL, we like the looks of this 2013 model. The interior design hasn't changed too much, though we're sure that nicer materials and more up-to-date tech are on tap.
As of this writing, no official powertrain details have been released, though we don't expect them to change a great deal from the current model. We'll likely see a GL350 Bluetec model fitted with the delicious 3.0-liter diesel V6, as well as a GL550 with Merc's new twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V8 underhood. Seven-speed automatics will surely be offered with either engine, and all of the power will be sent to the ground via 4Matic all-wheel drive.

Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG (W166) — третье поколение внедорожника Mercedes-Benz M-класса в исполнении AMG. Версия от AMG была представлена 14 ноября 2011 года, а чуть позже 18 ноября на автосалоне в Лос-Анджелесе. По сравнению с обычной версией M-Класса автомобиль стал ближе к земле на 46 мм (1750 мм), а вот масса по сравнению с ML 63 AMG предыдущего поколения (W164), увеличилась на 35 кг (до 2345 кг). Но и отдача двигателя стала больше. Новый двигатель V8 серии M157 рабочим объемом 5461 см³ с алюминиевым блоком, двумя турбокомпрессорами и системой непосредственного впрыска топлива выдаёт 525 л.с. и 700 Н•м (V8 6.2 у предшественника развивал 510 и 630 соответственно). Одновременно тягу на обе оси передавал доработанный семиступенчатый «автомат» с оригинальной программой управления. Время набора 100 км/ч уменьшилось на 0,3 с (до 4,7 с), а максимальная скорость осталась прежней — ограниченной 250 км/час. Но, как это принято сейчас, особенно немцы гордятся улучшениями по части экономичности — расход топлива в смешанном цикле упал с 16,5 л/100 км до 14,7. И ещё создатели делают акцент на ходовой части, точнее, на системе Active Curve System, которой на предшественнике не было. Это технология предотвращения кренов кузова в режиме реального времени благодаря активным стабилизаторам поперечной устойчивости с гидрозамками спереди и сзади. Помимо этого инженеры отделения AMG перенастроили эластокинематику подвесок и программу управления пневмоподвески. В отличие от Мерседеса M-Класса последнего поколения ML 63 AMG получил новый электромеханический усилитель руля взамен электрического. В продажу на североамериканском рынке автомобиль поступит в первом квартале 2012-го.

2013 Mercedes GL 350 BLUETEC [HD]
The market launch of the new GL-Class will provide customers with three models to choose from: the GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC with V6 diesel engine, the V8 petrol-engined GL 500 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY, and the high-performance GL 63 AMG variant with V8 biturbo petrol engine. The new models now come with a wide variety of equipment as standard which was either not available, or only available at additional cost, on the preceding model.
Prices starting at €60,900 (€72,471 incl. VAT) for the entry-level model.
Not to be overlooked as part of the added-value details fitted as standard are also the new engines. They boast better performance with increased output and torque, while at the same time enabling a reduction in consumption levels of up to 20 percent to be achieved. As a result, the 190 kW (258 hp) GL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC achieves an NEDC consumption of 7.4 l/100 km. The V8 petrol model, the GL 500 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY, produces 320 kW (435 hp) and powerful torque levels of 700 Nm while consuming just 11.3 l/100 km (NEDC).
