11.

11.8 liters on 100km on highway. No chances to modify to reduce fuel consumption. My Audi A8 Long is more comfortable, smooth driving, cluster panel easier to understand. More luxury. The GL has no spaces behind front seats. No luxury in the back.

Very solid value all the way around

Thia is my 2nd GL450 and I love the ride and the interior. Really enjoy driving it. It kept me safe after a head on collision that totalled my previous version of the same SUV. It Carrie's everything I want.

Awesome Highway Vehicle

2011 GL350. The diesel engine is so quiet and powerful and easily gets 25+ mpg on the highway. The seats are very comfortable for trips. Love all the space and the vehicle isn't too big or bulky for city driving or trying to park. We love the keyless go and the upgraded harmon/kardon speaker system. The third row is roomy for adults and our daughter loves the build in DVD system

No issues with the car .. need more legroom

It’s a stylish n reliable car ... 7 seater meet our needs .. use some more legroom area in front ... the only thing is not good on gas n only takes premium that’s what the company suggest.

GL-350 bluetec

This car met all my needs. Prestige, comfort, quality, 3rd row seating, diesel gets good mileage, tow package. I suggest you keep the oil level topped up. Pay for a pre-purchase inspection, and check the history. Have all problems found fixed before you buy.

I got a lemon!

What is not wrong with this vehicle! Only 114k miles, but a partial list: burns oil, smoke from exhaust at startup, air suspension leaks, replaced compressor twice, timing chain stretched, hesitates on acceration, front axle throws grease, rear hatch stopped working, rear electric seats stopped working, power steering leaks, both catalytic converters failed. Estimated repairs? $7000! German engineering at it’s finest😖
