Most Helpful Review | No one can beat the Master... <p> </p> <p><strong>Exterior</strong> Typical Box type SUV design still very practical, modern, stylish, very elegant and superb build quality. Looks many times better than Audi Q7 or BMW X5, Panaromic Sunroof very good.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)</strong> As soon you step in it gives you a feel of very high end luxury car. Touch Screen music system with 9 Speaker Harman Kardon speakers producing excellent sound. Theatre like seating, can easily accomodate 7 adults still leaving space for luggage. All off roading functions, terrain select are easy to use. Wood finish is elegant. Driving Position is highly commanding.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Engine is great slightly noisy when rev hard, 10kmpl in delhi and gearbox.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality & Handling</strong> Ride was good but steering doesnt get heavy during high speeds, King of off roading with all the features like Hill descent, ESP, ABS. Handling was very easy and yoy will never feel that you are driving such a big vehicle even cities.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> Real SUV, with superb built quality, looks, excellent features,space & not a bad fuel economy. Any day better than its German counterparts.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement</strong> Minor fine tuning of gearbox and may added 50-60 HP power. Thumbs up.</p>Superb off road capability, Very comfortable & commanding driving experience, 10kmpl overall milSluggish Gear Box, less power | The Only Car you may ever need <p><strong>Exterior</strong> 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. </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 & Comfort)</strong> 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> 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. </p> <p><strong>Ride Quality & Handling</strong> 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> 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> 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 |
