            Best car

            its an excellent car while driving we feel like very comfortable and smooth. Its outer look is very good and interior is also very nice. i loved this car very much .I feel very comfortable on this car.

            The Only Car you may ever need

            <p><strong>Exterior</strong>&nbsp;Grabs a lot of attention at Hotels,Malls due to its electrically operated boot. The big Mercedes logo and the detailing in the headlights remind everyone that this is a special car.&nbsp;</p> <p>Most importantly Due to its size it has immense presence and makes sure that everyone will notice it.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong>&nbsp;The front seats are fully electric with memory function, the front seat belts adjust electrically once you put them on, the steering height adjust is electrically operated, you get a cooled glovebox and it goes on....</p> <p>The media system has navigation, DVD playback, AM/FM, Fuel Economy display, 360 degree Helicopter view camera, Bluetooth, Voice control,and an off road mode which shows the altitude, compass direction and steering degree.</p> <p>At the middle row you have more than enough headroom and legroom, You also get 3-zone climate control in the car so the rear passengers can set their own temperature, also there are a total of 16 air vents in the car including the foot ones!!! 6 are for the front passengers, 8 for the middle row, and 2 for the last row!! The middle row seats fold and tumble down in a 60:40 split for convinience.</p> <p>The third row seats have a cupholder each and an 2 A/C vents on the roof! The also fold down electrically to form a flat boot space and also come up elctrically, so all you have to do is simply press a button!</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong>&nbsp;Engine performance is very impressive! For a car that is over 2 tonnes you reach 100kmph in under 8 seconds! Also the engine never feels stressed and all you hear when you press down hard on the accelerator is a little purr, it feels as refined as a petrol car!</p> <p>Fuel economy is not to bad for a car of this size. You get around 9 kmpl and with the GL's 100 litre boot it has a total range of 850-900 kms, which is very impressive.</p> <p>The gearbox is smooth and refined and never feels out of place.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong>&nbsp;The GL has an AIRMATIC air suspension which levels out automatically on a road. It is very good in absorbing potholes and road irregularities and comes with two modes, Comfort and Sport.</p> <p>It also gets suspension lift mode and an off road button so the car can be more comfortable to drive off road.</p> <p>Comfort mode is the best for indian roads but it can make the car roll around corners,</p> <p>Sport is better suited for smooth winding roads as it reduces the body roll considerably but makes the ride a lot stiffer.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong>&nbsp;It is certainly a very impressive car with off-road capibility, quality interiors, and a feature list that stretches out for kilometers. Defenitely a car I would recommend you to buy.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong>&nbsp;Suspension only has two modes Comfort/Sport but the problem is Comfort makes the car roll a lot and Sport cuts out the bodyroll by making the ride very hard. If there was something in between sport and comfort this car would heve the best ride quality.</p>Engine is smooth and very powerful, Chrome detailing, Overload of Air Conditioning Vents:Total of 16Rolls a bit around corners
