Mercedes GL-Class Grand Edition Executive (2012) Updates

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 05:11 PM Mercedes-Benz India launched the GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ in two variants: Executive and Luxury, targeting the growing SUV market in India. The Executive variant is priced at Rs 60.9 lakh, while the Luxury variant is priced at Rs 65.5 lakh, both ex-showroom. This launch highlights Mercedes-Benzs commitment to offering a wide range of luxury vehicles in India.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 07:27 AM The GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ features a reworked front-end design, including a bigger grille with three horizontal chrome bars, dark-tinted headlamps, and a redesigned front bumper. It also comes with 20-inch alloy wheels and exclusive two-tone leather upholstery in black/porcelain and black/maroon. I think these design updates give the vehicle a more premium and aggressive look.

Wednesday, 01 February 2012 12:35 AM The interior of the GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ is enhanced with features like velour floor mats, ambient lighting, and a roof liner in black designo fabric. The vehicle also includes a ‘Grand Edition’ badge on the centre console, adding to its exclusivity. The spacious cabin can accommodate up to seven people comfortably.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 09:38 AM The GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ comes equipped with advanced technology features such as the COMAND APS system with a reversing camera, PARKTRONIC, and THERMOTRONIC luxury automatic climate control. These features make parking and climate control more convenient for the occupants.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 11:16 AM Mercedes-Benz emphasized the off-road capabilities of the GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’, highlighting its 4MATIC all-wheel drive, AIRMATIC air suspension, and dynamic handling control systems like Off-Road ABS, Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR), and Hill-Start Assist. This makes the vehicle suitable for both on-road and off-road driving.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 09:26 PM The GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ offers a high level of comfort and spaciousness, comparable to a luxury saloon. Features like comfort headrests for the driver and front passenger, and the EASY-PACK tailgate with an electronically folding third row seat, enhance the vehicles practicality. I believe these features make it an excellent choice for families and those who value comfort.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 12:37 PM Mercedes-Benz Indias Director of Sales & Marketing, Debashis Mitra, stated that the GL-Class has received a very encouraging response from customers in India. He noted that the growing demand for SUVs, driven by superior connectivity and improved road conditions, makes the GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ an ideal offering for the Indian market.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 09:04 AM The GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ includes safety features such as a back-up camera, blind spot monitoring, and pre-collision and post-collision safety systems. These features are synonymous with Mercedes-Benzs focus on safety and add to the vehicles appeal.

Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:47 PM The vehicles exterior design is further enhanced with metallic paint finishes, heat-insulating and infrared-reflecting laminated glass, and aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs. These details contribute to the vehicles luxurious and robust appearance.

Wednesday, 01 February 2012 12:57 AM The GL-Class ‘Grand Edition’ is positioned to strengthen Mercedes-Benzs presence in the luxury SUV segment in India. With its aggressive pricing and exclusive features, it is expected to attract a significant number of off-roading enthusiasts and luxury car buyers.
