Introduction

Mercedes-Benz GL450 - 2007 Review: Originally conceived as a replacement for the testosterone-injected G-Class, the Mercedes-Benz GL450 morphed into a luxurious but eminently capable family hauler when fans of the venerable G-Wagen cried foul over plans to kill their favorite leather-lined military vehicle. Sandwiched into the MBZ lineup above the M-Class and below the G-Class and pitched as a full-size SUV, the GL450 realistically possesses the practical interior space of a Lexus RX rather than a Cadillac Escalade. We spent a week driving the GL450 to see if it makes sense as a logical alternative to true full-sizers like the 'Sclade, and whether the price premium over the M-Class is worthwhile. The answer: Yes, on both counts.

What We Drove

We borrowed a Barolo Red GL450 from Mercedes-Benz for this evaluation. Our test sample's base price swelled from $55,675 to $72,635 thanks to a long list of options - some of which should have been included as standard. Our truck included Premium Package 1, a Lighting Package, a Sunroof Package, an Off-Road Package, a Rear Seat Entertainment Package, and a Three-Zone Climate Control Package. It also had Macadamia leather, a reversing camera, a trailer hitch, a wood and leather steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting.
