USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Mercedes GL-Class Grand Edition Luxury (2012) is a formidable contender in the luxury SUV segment, especially for those seeking a blend of comfort, luxury, and off-road capability. From my perspective, this vehicle excels in its interior quality and comfort, with exceptionally supportive seats and ample headroom and legroom, even in the third row. The self-leveling air suspension and all-wheel drive system ensure a smooth and composed ride, whether on paved roads or off-road terrain. However, the outdated COMAND electronics interface can be a bit frustrating to use. Overall, its a great choice for families or individuals who value luxury, space, and versatility, but may require some patience with the older tech.
Price
In India, the Mercedes GL-Class Grand Edition Luxury (2012) was priced around 75,24,000 ex-showroom. When considering the on-road price, you would need to add taxes, registration fees, and other local charges, which could push the total cost to approximately 85-90 lakhs, depending on the state and city. This pricing reflects the vehicles premium status, luxurious features, and the brands reputation for quality and engineering. While it is certainly on the higher side, the GL-Class offers a unique combination of luxury, space, and performance that justifies the investment for those who can afford it.
