Mercedes-Benz has had a fantastic sales year, and its phenomenal 2012 and 2013 models are resonating with drivers around the world. We think that 2012 has been a very successful year for Mercedes-Benz: innovative new cars, exciting new technology and great sales numbers. And exciting news about the Mercedes GL-Class is just the icing on the cake.
Motor Trend has announced that the honor of its SUV Of The Year award belongs to the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, which is the second time the GL-Class has won this award (the first time was in 2007). Based on advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value, and performance of intended function during a road test of over 35 miles, the 2013 GL-Class came out a clear winner over 10 other vehicles. Motor Trend senior features editor Jonny Lieberman says that the 2013 GL-Class is "the best new SUV on the market period." And we agree!
With three rows of seats, lots of space, and a powertrain that just won't quit (one of three engines: a 240 horsepower GL350 BlueTec diesel, 362 horsepower GL450, or the 429 horsepower GL550) the GL-Class is built to take you and six of your loved ones wherever you need to go, no matter how rough the terrain. Considering the Mercedes-Benz track record for design, we're not surprised at all that it came out a winner.
