2007 Mercedes-Benz GL 420 CDI

The GL-Class - new highlight in the off-road market

Coinciding with its European debut, the new GL-Class is now for the first time being offered with state-of-the-art diesel engine technology in the GL 320 CDI and GL 420 CDI models. The seven-seater premium off-road model, the new highlight in the luxury sports utility vehicle market, impresses with excellent handling both on and off road and pampers its occupants with lavish spaciousness and the comfort of a luxury saloon. Another milestone is the GL-Class's integrated PRE-SAFE® safety concept, an all-time first in this segment.

With its calm surfaces, powerful lines and striking details, the styling of the new GL-Class gives the luxury-class off-roader an aura of power and exclusivity, and imparts an energetic sense of forward thrust even when the vehicle is stationary.

Four state-of-the-art engines - two petrol and two diesel units - provide this multi-talented vehicle with superior performance. The two direct-injection diesel engines in the new GL 320 CDI and GL 420 CDI models meet the stringent Euro 4 emissions standard and are fitted as standard with a maintenance-free, additive-free diesel particulate filter, which cuts engine-out particulate emissions by 99 per cent.

Thanks in particular to third-generation high-pressure common-rail injection featuring maximum injection pressures of 1600 bar, increased firing pressures, up to five injections per cycle, special orifice nozzles and new-design piezoelectric injectors for more precise injection timing, the GL 420 CDI's new V8 diesel engine offers sporty performance and maximum power of 225 kW/306 hp. The already proven V6 diesel engine used in the GL 320 CDI develops maximum power of 165 kW/224 hp and massive maximum torque of 510 Newton metres. All engine versions of the GL are equipped as standard with the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission with DIRECT SELECT gearshift.

Nice pics. Those are really nice. I saw a GL at my dealer the other day. It was cool. It was locked so couldn't look in.

Hmm, I did some research and I think those are the 20" rims that come with the Premier Edition GLs. The other trim on it looks similar too, like the chrome roof rack.
