A More Assertive Exterior Meets a More Luxurious Interior
The "Mercedes-Benz GL-Class" is a luxury SUV that blends a spacious, high-quality seven-seat interior with the powerful performance of a 5.5-liter V8 engine and the exceptional off-road capability of full-time 4WD. Now, the "GL550 4MATIC Grand Edition" has been announced, featuring special interior and exterior specifications and equipment that further enhance the model's appeal.
The exterior features dark-design bi-xenon headlights for a more assertive front mask, a high-gloss black front grille with chrome accents, and specially designed 20-inch 10-spoke aluminum wheels (Himalaya Grey paint) that give the wheels a sharper look.

The dashboard, door center panels, and armrests are generously upholstered in leather, complemented by matte black ash wood interior trim to create a sophisticated atmosphere.
