2009 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class of full-size SUVs gets greener for 2009, thanks to the GL320, which now comes equipped with a next-generation 3.2-liter BlueTEC V6 turbodiesel engine. The fuel-efficient and emissions-friendly engine injects an ammonia-rich urea-based fluid called AdBlue into the engine's exhaust stream to change nitrogen oxides in the engine's exhaust stream into harmless nitrogen and water. Due to emissions problems, previous versions of the diesel-powered GL320 were barred from sale in a number of states, including California, New York, and Pennsylvania. But Mercedes will offer the '09 GL320 BlueTEC SUV for sale in all 50 states.
The GL320's BlueTEC engine produces an acceptable 210 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm, resulting in good acceleration and a spirited ride around town. However, performance suffers a bit at passing speeds, according to reviewers. On the other hand, the GL320 manages about 24 mpg on the highway and 18 in the city, which are respectable numbers for a full-size SUV.
The BlueTEC engine links to a seven-speed automatic transmission, which adds to the SUV's smooth acceleration and fuel efficiency. Drivers should be aware that the AdBlue reservoir must be refilled every 10,000 miles or so, which Mercedes dealers will do during regularly scheduled oil changes. However, drivers who use the GL320 for frequent towing may have to refresh the AdBlue reservoir more frequently.
As in the previous year, the GL-Class also includes the GL450 and GL550, which change little for 2009. A 335-hp, 4.5-liter V8 drives the GL450, which features leather upholstery, hand-polished wood trim, a ride-balancing suspension, and a 7,500-pound towing capacity. The GL550 retains its 382-hp, 5.5-liter V8, which drives the big SUV from 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds. Other features of the GL550 include multicontour front seats with 10-way power adjustment, a power tailgate, a DVD-based navigation system, and brown Birdseye Maple wood trim. All GL-Class SUVs feature 4Matic four-wheel drive and seat seven passengers.

It was a nice looking car but had a few problems with screen not working for the GPS, radio, and back of camera. Also had a lot scratches and rusted rooters. They need to focus on the major issues to the car than instead of just making look clean and shiny on the outside.Mar 20, 2022

How many miles do I have from the time my brake wear warning light goes on before I am in danger.
I am on vacation in Italy with my American spec mb gl 450. I am carrying a full load with weight and 5 passengers. My brake wear indicator went on and we have about 200 km to get back home. Am I safe to drive it back to my base in northern Italy or do I need to have this done right now. It will be very expensive here. The indicator went on about 75 km ago. Not an expense I planned for on my vacation nor time but I am concerned. I am not doing much driving here and my front brakes just got replaced about 3 months ago.
