2010 Mercedes Benz GL ranks 2 out of 11 Luxury Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 65 published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes Benz GL, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is for drivers who have a lot of passengers but aren’t willing to sacrifice a luxury driving experience to carry them all.

While other Luxury Large SUVs offer burly off-road capabilities and loads of bling, the 2010 Mercedes Benz GL Class offers just what a luxury large SUV should: luxury, and plenty of it. While others in the class have more room or more powerful engines, few can match the total package of comfort and driving experience the GL provides. Despite a smaller engine than many competitors, the base model still earns excellent reviews, with nearly all noting that it drives more like a luxury sedan than a bulky SUV. Another plus is the GL’s excellent fuel economy, which is among the best in this class.

However, if you’re looking to be coddled while you venture off the beaten path, the GL isn’t the best choice. It’s a car-based crossover, not a truck-based SUV. While it seats just as many passengers as a truck-based SUV, it’s not meant to tackle rough off-road terrain. It also can’t tow as much as some competitors. If you need to take a crowd off road in comfort and style, consider the Toyota Land Cruiser. Its base price is higher than the base GL’s, but it comes with so many standard features that it actually costs about the same as a similarly outfitted GL. If you’re comfortable spending even more for a luxury nameplate, the Lexus LX offers all of the Land Cruiser’s capabilities, plus Lexus cachet.

Though the GL has a relatively low base price, the base model doesn’t come with many of the features and luxury touches that buyers may be looking for; to get those on a GL, you’ll have to pay extra. The GL Class has three models: the GL 450, the GL 550 and the GL 320 BlueTEC, which has a 50-state diesel engine. For 2010, changes to the GL class are minor. Mercedes has made some minor tweaks to the exterior styling and added its Post-Safe system, which shuts off the engine and unlocks the doors after a crash.
