2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class receives a bump in power for 2008, thanks to the 382-horsepower, 5.5-liter V8 engine dropped into the new GL550. As the top dog in the GL-Class lineup, the GL550 replaces the previous year's GL500, and comes equipped with the same engine that powers other high-end Mercedes vehicles, including the E550 sedan, the CL550 coupe, and the S550 sedan.
Like its stablemates, the diesel-powered GL320 CDI and the V8-powered GL450, the full-size GL550 features unibody construction, which results in better handling, a smoother ride, and an overall lighter weight, according to Mercedes-Benz. Still, the GL550 weighs in at a hefty 5,434 pounds, but its powerful 5.5-liter V8 nimbly moves all that weight.
Outside, the 2008 GL-Class displays a fluid, aerodynamic, and contemporary exterior appearance, with a hunky front end and a swept-back roofline. Light-sensing headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and a sunroof with a retractable sunshade come standard for all GL-Class vehicles. Additional features for the GL550 include a new front bumper design, chrome roof rails, dual heated power side mirrors, and a power liftgate.
Overall, the GL-Class comes with the most extensive list of standard features of any Mercedes SUV, offering an upscale alternative to buyers who consider the M-Class SUV to be too small or under-equipped, and the R-Class crossover SUV to be too sedan- or wagon-like.
All three trims in the 2008 GL-Class come standard with 4MATIC all-wheel-drive, four-wheel electronic traction control, an Electronic Stability Program, a seven-speed automatic transmission, antilock brakes, and four-wheel air suspension, which automatically adjusts depending on passenger and cargo weight.
Other features include Downhill Speed Regulation, which manages the throttle and brakes to ensure safe driving on steep slopes, and Hill Assist, which prevents rollback when the driver switches between the brake and gas pedals on steep uphill or downhill grades.
Inside, the GL-Class comes well-equipped with such features as a multifunction steering wheel, power-adjustable heated front seats, bird's-eye maple or Burl Walnut wood trim, dual-zone climate control, and window-curtain airbags. The high-end GL550 trim adds heated rear seats, leather upholstery, and a wood-and-leather steering wheel.

Very solid luxury SUV with full AWD. The diesel is very efficient with fuel, but the overall maintenance costs makes is a 4 star rating, as service schedule intervals are going to cost at least $2k / yr. Reliable and safe, with lots of towing or hauling power, as well as very roomy interior. If you can still find one (diesel) I would highly recommend it, especially if it has been properly maintained over the years.Aug 15, 2022

I am loving my car right now. It’s size and the interior is amazing. If you like some dvds for kids that’s even better.. just wish that we knew the dealers didn’t fix the DVD’s we had for our car! Other than that the car is amazing and the gas is too. Love it muchos. Just going to have to take it in for another updated inspection and check o the dvd issue. Recommend for mommies!Apr 23, 2020

With this truck, it was great for getting the family around without feeling cluttered. Truck mostly sat in the driveway as the main driver works out of state. Satellite radio, navigation, rearview camera all add to the luxury of this truck. Sep 23, 2013

This is a really nice car, beautiful lines, great comfort inside the cabin. Super smooth transmission, no hesitation when you give it the go! Easy to drive, very efficient control area for phone radio, nav... Gas mileage 15-18. It is a great car to drive and also to be a paasenger in, really comfortable seats. Love the power fold 3rd row seats. Great amount of cargo area.Feb 03, 2013

I can't tell you how excited I was when we took
delivery of this SUV. Its a seven-seater, built in
Germany, equipped with a 5.5 liter V8 putting out
nearly 400hp. At the same time the interior was
extremely luxurious, easily one of the best ever in
an SUV. But it soon became clear it was not a well
sorted out SUV. The engine leaked fluids dozens of
times, the tires and brakes needed replacing after
10k miles, and the air ride suspension stopped
working. The biggest problem was when MB told us
that they did not advice that drive it in the winter
as they had yet to develop a snow wheel/tire
package. Extremely disappointing experience all
the way around. It also cost about 90k too much.Feb 27, 2009

V teto velikosti a zarazeni auta me hodne prekvapil vykon. Pri prudsim seslapnuti plynu vas hodi do sedadla a lapete po volantu! Bezpecny a velmi prijemny na rizeni. A k tomu velmi napadny, kdyz za volantem sedi holka... :-D A nastesti hodne tezky, takze pripadnym zlodejum trochu znesnadni praci a tak snad i odradi.Jul 21, 2008

2008 Mercedes GL320 Sagging on driver side
We recently purchased a used 2008 GL320 and occasionally the front driver side will sag and become a bumpy ride. You can sometimes see it when we park that the wheel sits more in the wheel. It seems to reset when we park and turn off the car. We took it to a shop and they said they saw nothing mechanically wrong. Any ideas on what it could be?

Water coming in during rain next to brake handle flooding driver area. Tarp put 1/2 over hood, 3/4 over roof with tarp hanging over sides. Water still comes in during rain. Any suggestions as to why and how to prevent this? Garage not an option.
