Used 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class SUV Consumer Reviews
Gl is not an SUV!
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.

Loving The Vehicle
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.

2015 GL 550
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,
Technology was so old
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.
