Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Diesel GL350 CDI is a robust and versatile SUV that excels in both on-road comfort and off-road capability. My experience with this vehicle has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly in its ability to provide a smooth and quiet ride, even at high speeds. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, producing 265 HP and 620 Nm of torque, is more than adequate for its size, allowing for quick acceleration and decent fuel efficiency. However, the interior, while well-built and spacious, lacks the luxurious feel one might expect from a Mercedes-Benz, feeling more like sophisticated expedience. The rear visibility is a notable drawback, but the plethora of features such as the rear entertainment system, ambient lighting, and air suspension make up for this. Overall, its a solid choice for those seeking a powerful, comfortable, and capable SUV.

Price

In India, the ex-showroom price for the Mercedes-Benz GL350 CDI during its peak in the early 2010s was around 65-70 lakhs, depending on the trim and features. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, would have been closer to 80-90 lakhs. While this model is no longer in production, if youre considering a used model, prices can vary widely based on the condition, mileage, and year of the vehicle. A well-maintained 2013-2016 model could cost anywhere from 40-60 lakhs on-road, making it a significant investment but one that offers a lot of value in terms of performance, comfort, and features.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 04:34 AM The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Diesel GL350 CDI has been praised for its roomy interior, capable of seating seven adults comfortably. This makes it an excellent choice for large families or those who need ample space. The classy and quiet interior adds to its luxury appeal.

Friday, 25 October 2024 12:01 PM In terms of performance, the GL350 CDI is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V6 engine, producing 240 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque. While it may not be the fastest, with a 0-60 mph time of 8.4 seconds, it offers strong towing capabilities and good fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined. I think this balance of power and efficiency makes it a solid choice for everyday driving.

Sunday, 15 September 2024 03:38 PM Mercedes-Benz has faced some recalls related to the GL-Class, including issues with the Active Curve System (ACS) and the electric power steering connector. These recalls highlight the importance of regular maintenance and checking for any updates from the manufacturer.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 01:18 PM The GL350 CDIs diesel engine is known for its torque, making it suitable for towing and driving on hilly terrain. However, it comes with slightly higher maintenance costs compared to gasoline engines, particularly for components like the timing chain and tensioners. I believe the extra torque and fuel efficiency make it worth the additional maintenance.

Wednesday, 10 July 2024 08:17 AM In India, the Mercedes-Benz GL 350 CDI is priced around Rs. 77.68 Lakh for the top model, making it a premium offering in the SUV segment. The vehicle comes with a range of standard features, including dual-zone automatic climate control and a self-leveling air suspension.

Saturday, 15 June 2024 08:58 AM The GL-Class has a maximum towing capacity of 3265kg, which is quite impressive for its class. This, combined with its powerful diesel engine, makes it a versatile vehicle for both family use and heavy-duty tasks.

Saturday, 25 May 2024 01:04 AM Owners of the GL350 CDI have reported mixed experiences, with some praising its reliability and others noting issues such as frequent repairs to the timing chain and vacuum pump gasket. Proper maintenance is key to getting the most out of this vehicle.

Saturday, 20 April 2024 12:03 AM The fuel consumption of the GL350 CDI is estimated at around 7.7L/100km, which is relatively efficient for a vehicle of its size and power. This makes it a good option for those looking to balance performance with fuel economy.

Friday, 15 March 2024 01:20 PM The interior of the GL350 CDI features luxurious amenities such as MB-Tex upholstery, automatic headlights, and a panoramic sunroof. These features enhance the overall driving experience and comfort. I think the attention to detail in the interior is one of the standout aspects of this vehicle.

Saturday, 10 February 2024 06:46 AM For 2015, the GL-Class saw updates including a new turbocharged V6 engine for gasoline models and an automated engine stop-start feature to boost fuel economy. These updates aimed to improve performance and efficiency across the model range.

Thursday, 25 January 2024 12:41 AM The GL350 CDIs handling has been criticized for being ponderous, and the steering effort is often described as overly light. However, its strong brakes and solid build quality make up for these shortcomings in many driving scenarios.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 07:54 PM The mileage of the Mercedes-Benz GL350 CDI is a critical factor for potential buyers. In real-world conditions in India, this SUV can deliver around 8-10 kml in city driving and up to 12-14 kml on the highway, depending on driving habits and road conditions. While these figures are not exceptional, they are reasonable given the vehicles size and power output. The fuel consumption, however, can be high, especially when driven aggressively or in heavy traffic, which is something to consider when evaluating running costs.
