Mercedes-Benz GL-Class

The Mercedes Benz GL-Class cannot be compared to any other make on the market. It is only fair to compare the Mercedes Benz GL320 to its other version the Mercedes Benz GL450. Both of these models fall in the light truck category and offer seating capacity for 7 passengers. Their pricing is also similar but the Mercedes Benz GL450 gives you more power for your money. The Mercedes Benz GL320 CDI SUV is equipped with a 3.0-liter 24-valve V6 diesel engine that outputs 215hp at 3,800rpm while the Mercedes Benz GL450 SUV comes equipped with a 4.6-liter 32-valve V8 engine that outputs 335hp at 6,000rpm. The difference is quite noticeable when gas mileage is taking into consideration. The Mercedes Benz GL320 gives consumers 20mpg in city driving and 25mpg of highway driving while the Mercedes Benz GL450 allows drivers only 15mpg of city driving and 19mpg of highway driving. With gas prices increasing everyday, gas mileage can make all the difference in your decision making process.
