Fun to Drive, lots of improvements

I was looking for a replacement for my 2011 GL450, and was getting tired of the poor user interface of the controls, hard to enter address on the navigation using the arrow keys, etc. The 2014 GL450 is exciting to drive. It is peppy, the controls are well laid out and the steering is light and responsive. The turn radius is tight, and a roomy interior. There have been a lot of small and steady improvements (see my list of favorite features below). It still feels solid (I had been hit by another car at 50mph on the driver side door in the previous GL and the solid door held up and protected me well). The technology and electronics has been updated also. Overall, a fun car to drive.
3rd GL. Still an impressive vehicle

This is our 3rd GL. We have owned a 2007 GL450, a 2011 GL550 and now a 2015 GL450. Each time we have test driven other vehicles and ended up back at the Mercedes dealer. PROs: Real 7 adult capacity - The back seat is a little of a climb but it can comfortably seat 2 reasonably sized adults for moderate distances. Drives less "trucky" that the truck-based SUVs - This is a unibody and therefore is not built on a truck frame. That allows for lower ride height and more stable feeling SUV with a lower lift height to put stuff in the back. Decent power and ride - This is a change from the old V8s and is a little more slow to respond when accelerating from a moderate pace (the old V8s were quicker) but it is still very reasonable for a vehicle this size. It is also a great highway cruiser with comfortable seats and non-fatiguing driving position. Many safety gizmos available - Lane departure warning, front impact warning, blind spot monitoring, automatic high beams, headlights that follow the curves all make for a safer ride. Interior - Although the electronics are not the best the interior is pretty darn nice. Leather wrapped dash, doors, real wood and solid overall feel to the controls and buttons. CONS: Expensive to fix/maintain - MB is one of the more expensive models to maintain. Just a fact. New sets of brakes/rotors every 30-40K miles, general maintenance in the $300-$500 range and this isn't a cheap car to own. Add in that it requires Premium Unleaded and this isn't a cheap vehicle Transmission can range from smooth to harsh - Usually, it shifts very smoothly but every once in a while it will hard upshift/downshift. All 3 I have owned have done this. It never inspired confidence but I ran my last one to 144K miles and it was still going strong when I traded it. Electronics are only ok - Nothing overly exciting about the NAV or Command system as a whole. It works but is a little clunky and low resolution. Summary: Safe, comfortable vehicle that performs well and feels like a luxury vehicle. Electronics are only okay and your wallet/pocketbook won't be thrilled but for some people that extra cost is worth it.

Owned the car for a few years, put 64k miles, no problems, only regular maintenance which actually doesn’t cost that much. Oil change with filter only 130$ at the dealer, I think very reasonable, in comparison I paid 400$ for oil change for my cayenne so I’m pretty happy with reliability and cost of ownership. Resale value of course not great but it’s a good thing for people who buy this vehicle used. Great fit and finish of all the interior components. Headlight performance is not best but I updated the bulbs and it definitely made an improvement. Great acceleration and handling despite the size and weight of the vehicle. Would recommend it to anyone! Love mine

I can look back and guarantee on paper my GL goes in the shop almost every other week, I am very disappointed comparing this car to our Lexus, the Lexus has been in the shop at 30k for the key fob not working and to clean the ac filter due to a smell. AS for the GL we have been in the shop all the time for brakes, sensors, squealing brakes oil leak, rear shock for rear door was not working, transmission trouble, squeaking window, right front air shock had to be replaced, the shock is still making noises when you go over a speed bump, bad design glove box that cant store much and always gets jammed, very cheap center wheel caps that need replacing all the time, so many sensors you will be in the shop getting them replaced and while you are there you might as well do your high price service that can run up to 1200.00. Yes 1200.00 and that is with out getting anything fixed. The service is to keep your car under the MB warranty and if you don't decline the service it will void the warranty. I feel like I keep the dealership lights on while they look for there next person that is as uneducated as I was when i bought this big rolling pieces of junk. When i pull up next to some one with a Mercedes I feel bad for them. I know this for a fact, Most people that work for the Mercedes dealership Don"t drive Mercedes, but if they do they usually are driving it for free. One mechanic stated to me that he likes the MB but due to the high price of parts he stays away. If you buy a Mercedes or a GL and you feel like nothing is going your way remember I told you so.

Excellent 7 seat luxury SUV with nice & improved features

We purchased the '15 GL450 as a family vehicle/daily use vehicle for my wife. It's a perfect luxury 7 seat SUV in my opinion. It's roomy, both elegant and athletic inside. I was sort of hesitant on the new V6 bi-turbo engine but what a pleasant surprise! Though the engine sound is not as pleasing as the V8, the performance speaks for itself. It has similar performance as the naturally aspirated V8 in the X164 (GLs before '13) while getting better gas mileage. We've owned the previous version GL450 & GL350 and the interior, especially the "technology" has definitely improved significantly. The navi system is now somewhat user friendly, though not as nice as the Japanese cars and Audi MMI.

Excellent SUV worth every penny (it's a hotrod) until you get between 10K and 14K miles, then you realize brakes need replacement. Yes, pads and rotors need to be replaced (light turns on) and there is no way to replace just pads. Cost $2400 for front and back brakes. $250 for 10K mile service, $800 for 40K mile and $1200 for 50K mile. Great SUV but very high maintenance $$$

Just got this family mover four months ago. It is no doubt a beautiful truck, and is loaded with all kinds of technological gizmos. However, that may be its downfall because a multitude of annoyances keep cropping up and sending us to the dealer: LED lights not working, tire sensor failure, power seat failure, etc. Finally, one morning the car was dead in the garage. A $100K car that would not give any sign of life or start with only 4000 miles on board. Had to have it towed to the dealer where they are still "trying to figure out what happened". Update: Regarding the above problem they found out that one of the air suspension shocks valve shorted and it drained the battery. The piece was replaced and the problem was solved. We've now owned this vehicle for over two years and had to change the tires twice already. Both under 20K miles. The dealer said that the lower profile tires with "softer" rubber are the reason. Perhaps, but that combined with quite a bit of wheel camber and directional tires makes for rapid uneven wear of the tires requiring changing them early at the tune of $350 each tire. Something to keep in mind. We also had multiple issues with the AC system developing an unpleasant musty smell. We live in Florida and AC is a must. It is humid here and there is something about the pipes that causes them to retain condensation and moisture leading to this issue. The AC has been "flushed" and sanitized multiple times, but the unpleasant smell persists. USB connectivity for this year model was poor and difficult to set up. Their remote app is also difficult to use and of limited functionality. Regarding navigation I routinely use Google Maps in my phone now as it surpasses anything cars' navigation can offer. Also, we had to bring the car in several times for tire balancing and alignment due to recurrent vibration at speeds above 70mph. After the service things improved but the ride always has a significant amount of vibration. This is more glaring when I compare it to our other car, a Land Rover, that has a fantastic ride at all speeds. Disappointing at this price range. Overall, I would not buy this particular model from Mercedes. Perhaps it has too many parts from Chrysler, I don't know but many annoyances and quality problems.

8K$ car (GL550 -2015- Only gave blue tech as trim option via Edmunds review? pull down window)). Sales was outstanding. Issues with the Transmission/Tires/window seals/AC mold issues all within the first 4000 miles. Spent over 2 weeks in the shop in under 5 months of ownership. Once the sale is made you deal with the abyss of service and quality issues. This is the most disappointed I've been in a new car purchase in over 25 years.

Had my gl350 bluetec for service at local dealer for a throttle issue. They said they repaired it. The same issue - putting foot on the throttle to drive and the car hardly moves - happened again within 3 mos. The second visit to the same dealer, my car was there for 2 weeks and they couldn’t figure out the problem. They said it “could be” a separate issue that cost $5k to do, but they weren’t sure that was the issue. All this and the car warranty ended 3 days after I picked up the car. Never a Mercedes again in my life!

Update: In the last twelve months this vehicle has needed $18K in various repairs, most of which had to be performed by M-B due to proprietary parts. Very glad I bought an extended warranty through USAA. Much as we've enjoyed it, I can no longer recommend it due to the enormous maintenance/repair expense. I bought a 2014 GL 550 w/ 40K miles in 2017 for $55K (original MSRP $95K in 2014 -- sharp depreciation!). Had been part of MB's certified vehicle offering. What a spectacular vehicle for the money! This big MB is so fast, and handles so incredibly well that I find Texas's top, 80-mph speed limit to be frustratingly low. Although intended for the US market, this twin-turbo V8 with wide, performance tires would be more at home at much higher speeds on Germany's autobahns. The brakes are every bit as impressive as the engine. In addition to almost preternatural performance for such a big vehicle, the interior comforts are also great, starting with the Harmon Kardon stereo, but also the massaging, heated & cooled seats, and triple sunroof. I'm not a fan of the cumbersome navigation system, however, and children over twelve are uncomfortable in the third-row seats. Finally, the MB dealer here in San Antonio has been delightful to deal with for routine maintenance.

"Nothing but the best" what a joke

The GL450 has so many problems, that dealers across the country and head quarters do not know how to fix, the customer frequently hears "we have no idea what is wrong or how to fix your problem." I had a Lexus LX 470 and as soon as I can get the Mercedes out of the shop, they have had it for 9 days, I am headed for Lexus and trading it in. The vehicle backfires on every cold start, a very dangerous situations. "Nothing but the best, the safest, technologically advanced;" far from it. Mercedes you are better than this. Step up your game and your customer service response. I was told today by Mercedes corporate customer care group "they had no idea when they would have an answer or solution to the backfire problem. When I said do you think you will know something by December, the regional claims manager stated "I have no idea." "Nothing but the best?" I will never recommend or buy another Mercedes.

At 75,000 miles it died. 2 cylinders went bad. Mercedes wanted $30,000 to fix it. I proposed a 20% discount on a new one and Mercedes said "NO". No more Mercedes for me -- no value the $80,000 that In originally spent. I replaced it with a Lincoln Aviator.

If you are looking for a lemon or a garbage buy one . I own a 2014 . Within 3 years I spend $26000 to keep it runnin until the engine die completely and the dealer ask me $33000 to put a new engine on it. All kind of problems from new cylinder head , camshaft, valve, water pump, radiator, coil, heater core, air shocks, cooling hose, when I thought I was finish the engine die. I come to find out all of them give the same problem. Soon or later you will need a new engine. Be aware ask any shop that fix those trucks. Any salvage yard wants $12000 for a used engine. Do your homework before you buy any of those lemon truck. 2013 to 2017 and good luck if you own one.

2014 GL-450 62,000 miles and Blown Motor

It looks like my expectation for Mercedes quality and first in Class engineering was misguided. My babied 2014 GL-450 with 62,000 miles blows out the #1 piston. The lack of empathy was evident when the quote was given "$40,000 for the motor, $10,000 for the install, what would you like to do". When I said I would not and could not afford to pay for that he gave me 2 days to "get my car out of here". WOW!!! I'm pretty speechless. Now I own a beautiful 6,000 pound paperweight with a Mercedes emblem on the grill. Looks like need to buy a bigger desk.

I own 2014 GL550 for more than a year now. At best, this is an OK SUV. This is my second and last GL. MB does not have the reliability, built quality or attention to detail to warrant the price tag and more than $10k premium over other SUVs. GL is annoyingly unreliable. Keyfob stops working when it gets cold. You can get stranded outside your car in a cold night if your keyfob happens to get cold for whatever reason. Disctronic plus and Presafe features stop working in the middle of driving when it's rainy or snowy outside, when you need them most. I reported to MB customer service and dealership to no await. Other owners seem to have similar annoying problems they get used to. Why pay 100k?

GL63 not recommended by me as a value purchase for daily use, After just 36k miles I've had two sets of brakes ($2k each) and two sets of tires ($1.5k each). Oil change is only annual but runs $300-$400. Voice Recognition in my GL63 is not user friendly and must only understand German. Navigation is poorer than any car I owned. Unrealiable, Inconsistent, Quirky, freezes and just don't work. As I commented Voice recognition is the worst . The door auto unlocking doesn't always work. I can not justify purchasing another GL AMG. Just not enough for the money $130K. Need to trade before another set of brakes, tires or oil change. Wonder power but I guess I'm just not rich enough.

This car seems very well made; its a tank. MB uses materials that seem very durable, even if unusual and hard to clean. This SUV is a good size, big but not huge. The front seats aren't quite as comfortable as I expected but not bad. The SatNav is easy to use and up to date with lots of search options. Connectivity is top notch, USB, iPad, WiFi Hotspot, and more (MB is a button push away like OnStar). Lots of technology innovations that you wouldn't know about unless someone told you. The 2nd, 3rd row seats are very easy to raise and lower with a push of a button. Lots of convenience items, like 120 V outlet, full size spare with jack, electric park brake, push button/lever shifter. If you want to keep the price down you will likely have to special order which is what I did (2-3 month wait). I can't comment on the advanced techno features like Park Assist, Lane Keeping, Night Vision, etc. since I didn't get those features. The vehicle is heavy but has enough power to accelerate well from start (with a lot of gas pedal). This car is designed to save gas and it does that well (e.g. Eco Start/Stop). I love the Brake Hold feature! Also has first ever eco-friendly tires from Pirelli that seem pretty good plus quiet. The car drives remarkably well and is well mannered when parking. Perfect soccer mom car with some luxury and glitz. I look forward to driving again. My last car was a Shelby GT500 which was fun but tiring compared to this car. Not liking the bare aluminum running boards so much. After several years they will look nasty if you don't take good care of them. This car is the widest in its class so lots of room. I compared a LOT before buying this one. Rumor: MB will be cutting supply to the US.

Ok we have had 4 of these cars just about to buy the fifth and they are one of the best cars you will ever have. Let's start with performance, acceleration is great reaching 100kph in just 4.9 seconds bearing in mind that this beast weighs a hefty 2500kg's. AMG package comes with performance breaks so no complaints there. The way these beast handle is amazing they are massive vehicles yet they cling to the corners like you wouldnt believe. We take ours on road trips and their favorite speed is at 260kph if u take off the speed limiter you can get these things out to about 320kph. I love the way these cars change gears it's so smooth and how could a car like this be bad when it sounds so good. Oh and the turbo whistle...who doesnt love it. The engine is a 5.5l v8 bi-turbo with 760 Nm's of torque and 410kw @ 5750 rpm. The comfort in the GL 63 is fantastic the front seats have heating, cooling and massage. The second row has heating. Sound proofing is great in these cars so much so I need to wind down the windows to hear that epic v8 roar. Overall ride comfort is exceptional especially when in comfort mode feels like you are riding on air. It is a spacious car with a spacious boot when the third row is layed flat. The interior design is sleek and luxurious with beautiful leather and trims. Controls are easy to navigate and the voice command setting works like a dream allowing you to navigate and make calls without your hands leaving the steering wheels. The interior quality is terrific with minimal wear and tear. Safety is one of the best features of this car because you know you arent just buying it to look pretty and show off you are also buying it to protect your family as best as possible especially in the case of an accident. They are very sturdy and safe cars with features such as auto seat belt tightening. Headlights are auto dimming which is great. Parking is a breeze in the GL63 with parking sensors and a 360° camera parallel parking is even easier with the auto parallel park feature. Overall an excellent car for safety. Entertainment is good with built in screens that play DVDs, TV and news, also comes with pre paired bluetooth headphones. Comes with built in navigation system which is very user friendly. Bluetooth is easy to use also with a "connect last device " feature which makes it easy to pair devices that are used often. Has a few USB ports that are easily accessible and good for charging phones or other devices. Air con works like a dream perfect for any season. From personal experience the repair frequency is not high. The dealerships are fantastic especially when the car is under warranty with extremely good mechanics we only ever use the proper Mercedes dealership for servicing and repairs the dealerships have great customer service also when purchasing the car you always get gifts like Mercedes chocolate, hats, wine, umbrellas etc. The engine, transmission and electronics are all exceptionally reliable as is the rest of the car. Great overall value for money highly recommended the investment. The Gl 63's rivalries dont even compare

Are you kidding me? I was ripped off completely especially when the ad blue system failed, I was quoted 11,000 plus tax to replace the system, later it was another issue it knot sensor. I would never recommend this car for anyone. Although thanks to Mercedes they gave me one time 75% discount but still my heart is broken. Maintainance cost is alarming and not reliable car. I am heart broken cause issues arising seem non stop. Fault is frequent

i don't understand why Edmunds keep placing this vehicle on the first place among luxurious SUVs. I have followed Edmunds advice and had one for a year. I may say with full responsibility that 1) GL is not a real SUV, it is a crossover. On a rough road it fails. 2) The cockpit has a low ceiling, toll person can't get in without bending neck 3) reliability is low, within less than a year I had to go to dealer for repairs twice, one of them could have been quite expensive, if not under warranty. 4) Among all bells and whistles just a few make sense, others look attractive for a regular customer but are useless. 5) third raw is for two 3-years old only, besides an adult would have a hard time to get there. And so on... Anyway, after approximately a year i have traded it in to Lexus LX-570. Yes, this thing has less bells and whistles, but it is a real SUV. Yes, its voice recognition system sucks and navigation system is not as good as MB GL. But if you are about to purchase a luxurious SUV, go anywhere type, do not make a mistake being attracted by MB logo on a hood.

I have put 60,000 miles on this vehicle with zero problems. This SUV, is a beast! It's big, comfortable, luxurious and reliable. I can go almost 700 miles per tank on the freeway with plenty of torque and power. I have towed up to 5600 pounds with no problems whatsoever. One of the most comfortable rides available on any large SUV. The options to list on this vehicle or limitless, I suggest getting the massage seats!

This was my first Mercedes Benz product I’ve ever purchased. I bought it in December 2013 and have been pleased with it all through my ownership experience. I sold it last year and purchased a neW 2022 Mercedes GLS. It rode so comfortably on all roads even gravel, in fact you could barely hear the gravel noise inside the cabin. I always serviced my GL at Mercedes Benz of Buckhead which is also where we bought it. They go above and beyond to take care of their customers. Overall I think it was well worth the price tag as I’ve had 0 issues of any kind and it had 155,000 miles when I sold it. Very reliable ride in my ownership experience! Maintenance costs aren’t that bad either. Very comparable to our Lexus’ we’ve had over the years. This was my first and certainly not my last!

2014 GL 350 was a great suv when it worked, could not find a better SUV, previously had a 2008 GL320, but met up with a deer and totaled the car. Barely noticed any impact and all occupants were safe. The 2014 GL cost $46 K in repairs (under MB extended warranty) in 6 years. Once covid hit in 2020 we drove less, but still had numerous visits to the service dept. diesel emissions, soot sensors, DEF heating tank, airmatic suspension, and proximity sensors were the main issue. The oil level in the engine was always over full, a complaint I made to the dealer since 2018. He said it occurs because they do not drain the oil pan , rather suck the oil out thru the dipstick. Then fill it with the amount of oil suggested. Later I discovered through an independent that the over fill was diesel fuel seeping into the oil pan. In the last few months, 4 hours of driving would add 1 liter of diesel fuel to the oil pan. Had to trade the car. Lost faith in the dealership service dept and purchased an X7.

This is an amazing machine the pick up and go and the style is the best I've seen. I wish the gas milage was better, but other than that is my only complaint and I wanted Safety, comfort and Style, over a few extra bucks in the tank. I drive all day, and I really need everything comfortable and stylish so i'm happy on the road moving out and about in style. Lane assist, and blind spot assist , dis tronic, amazing features, not to mention M brace -a must have, oh, and a Bang and Olsen sound system to die for. Designo interior AMAZING. Its truly a Dream come true and really there is soooo much more I did'nt even get to touch on. Test drive it, far better than the Lexus SUV. Tires every two years- low profile tires- still love it-

What a wonderful ride this big SUV has provided and it's been truly reliable. Not much to say other than Edmunds made a good choice recommending this vehicle as I am very satisfied.

Love the vehicle, handling, construction, interior space only drawback is that it seems that the dealerships have worked together to keep prices up on this vehicle.When You look at selling price in the Southern part of the Country prices are more realistic, by the way I have found some decent prices in NY. But I am looking for purchase in MA. so to have local service available. I will purchase one of these low mileage vehicles in the near future.

I purchased the GL350 new from the dealer & it currently has 95K km and after 5 years, it still feels new! Exceptional SUV - I love it! Very low road noise, excellent ride and it has the luxury finishes. Would absolutely purchase a new one! On a full tank - over 1000km on the hwy! Too bad they gave up on the Diesel engine.

Best SUV! I absolutely loved driving this model. Only issue after 10 years of driving was the Def - emissions system. Fortunately replacement of the field measure was 100% covered by Mercedes Benz. Still looks and drives great after 194K

Purchased new my wife put about 72,000 miles on it, $1500 oil change every 10K miles needs new tires every 10k miles for $2000, lights on dash come constantly, electric back seats always broken kids have to climb over until you can get appt at dealer to fix. My last trip to service was told my front lower control arms needed replaced at 70,000 miles said no thanks and sold it for $26000 was $100k new. My wife loves her new Lincoln Navigator,

There are more than 30 buttons on the central panel. For a car made in 2015, I felt the design was from year 2005. How old their technology was. In order to release the foot brake, instead of pushing it harder and release(like all other cars), you have to pull a button to release the brake. It took us more than 15 minutes to figure out the bluetooth.
Great vehicle just not for us
