Mercedes GL-Class GL500 (2011) Updates

Sunday, 01 May 2011 09:11 AM Despite not having official crash test scores, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class earns high marks for safety due to its comprehensive list of standard safety features and Mercedes-Benzs reputation for engineering safety into their vehicles. This gives drivers a lot of confidence on the road.

Saturday, 02 April 2011 01:11 AM The 2011 GL-Class has an impressive towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped, making it suitable for those who need to tow trailers or boats. The BlueTEC diesel engine is particularly well-suited for towing due to its high torque output.

Tuesday, 01 March 2011 08:01 AM Mercedes-Benz has ensured that the 2011 GL-Class is capable of medium-duty off-roading with its 4MATIC full-time four-wheel-drive system, Hill Start Assist, and Hill Descent Control. The GL450 can also be ordered with an Off-Road package for more hardcore use. I believe this makes the GL-Class quite versatile.

Tuesday, 01 February 2011 09:11 AM The GL-Class for 2011 has a seating capacity for seven people, with third-row power split-folding seatbacks for added convenience. The vehicle also features rear air-conditioning controls and heated eight-way power front seats. This makes it a great option for families or those needing ample seating.

Saturday, 01 January 2011 04:37 PM The interior of the 2011 GL-Class features premium materials, including burl walnut trim and MB-Tex premium vinyl upholstery. The vehicle also comes with a COMAND system, which includes a 6.5-inch color display screen and Bluetooth connectivity. The interior is very luxurious and well-appointed.

Wednesday, 01 December 2010 09:12 AM The 2011 GL-Class models are equipped with the mbrace telematics system, allowing users to lock or unlock the vehicle remotely using a smartphone. This system also offers various other convenience features, enhancing the overall driving experience. I think this is a very useful feature for modern drivers.

Monday, 01 November 2010 10:08 AM Mercedes-Benz has equipped the 2011 GL-Class with an advanced safety system, including PRE-SAFE, which tightens seatbelts and locks doors before an imminent accident. Other safety features include dual front, side, and curtain airbags, as well as active headrests. This comprehensive safety suite is a standout feature.

Friday, 01 October 2010 01:49 PM The GL-Class lineup for 2011 includes the GL350 BlueTEC diesel, GL450, and GL550, all of which feature four-wheel independent suspension and height-adjustable Airmatic suspension for enhanced comfort and handling. This suspension system is a key factor in the GL-Classs smooth ride.

Wednesday, 01 September 2010 10:46 PM The 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class comes with a range of engine options, including the GL550s 5.5-liter V8 engine, which delivers 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. This engine allows the GL550 to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The power and performance are quite impressive.

Tuesday, 27 July 2010 08:51 AM For the 2011 model year, the GL-Class introduces Blind Spot Assist, a system that monitors both blind spots behind the vehicle and alerts the driver with visual and audible warnings when a vehicle is in the blind spot. This feature adds to the already robust safety package of the GL-Class. I believe this is a significant safety enhancement.

Friday, 16 July 2010 11:54 AM The 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, including the GL550, features a restyled front bumper and grille, enhancing its exterior appearance with LED daytime running lights and a redesigned lower fascia. This update gives the vehicle a more contemporary look. I think this design change really elevates the GL-Classs luxury appeal.
