2013 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class consumer reviews

Lot of trouble in 2013 have extended warranty otherwise its not worth buying OIL LEAK, ENGINE SIGN O2 SENSOR CHANGED, INTAKE INTERIOR CENSOR CHANGED

I have own my 2013 GL-450 for more than two years. Purchase it CPO and I'm the second owner. I purchased it with extended CPO warranty that is even better that new vehicle warranty. The experience of owning this vehicle is exceptional. This is the only 7 seat luxury SUV with a twin-turbo V8, 0-60 mph under 7 seconds. Taking in consideration that the size of this vehicle that is truly impressive. The ride quality is great as it has he perfect balance of isolation from the outside world and drivers right feedback.

Comfortable and rides like a car, nice interior styling, nice gadgets, enjoying this car. Spacious and nice for family of 6

This car is spectacular. I feel like it was a great value for the quality. The car has tons of interior space and is luxurious and comfortable. I wish it had the optional air vents for the second and third rows and the optional automatic fold down second row. Other than that I have zero complaints. It has all of the bells and whistles of most brand new cars although it is 4 years old and it is all done thoughtfully and to the highest standards.

GL 450 was just right for our fam with 3 kids. Very safe and fun to drive. We took many road trips all over Texas and felt good after driving 8 hours straight! Comfy to the max!

The GL is deceptive in that it looks and drives smaller than it is. Its every bit as spacious as an Escalade while driving like a true Mercedes which is why despite a hefty MSRP it is the #1 best selling SUV in its class. Unlike a Cayenne, it doesn't pretend to be a sports car. Its a luxurious uber comfortable, capable and safe large SUV.

We were car shopping for a few months with 4 different SUV's in mind. The Audi Q7, Lexus LX570, Cadillac Escalade, and the Mercedes GL550. We found the Audi was to small and the dash board was very basic and was hard to find with DVD players in them. The Escalade, for its size, was lacking size on the inside. The Lexus was too expensive for the year we wanted, leaving the Mercedes perfectly right in the middle of all of them. The price was right, it had everything we wanted and it is sporty and fast!! Also there isn't too many of them around. It's nice not seeing one on every corner.

This vehicle has earned my respect even with couple of headaches it has given me. Bought it certified with 34K miles. After little over one year I have put about 50K miles on it. I use it for work, and I really mean for work. Engine on this vehicle starts around 6 am and works for 7-12 hours straight non-stop. I had couple of issues with engine mounts and one of the exhaust valves, both issues were taken care of by MB dealer. Right now starting to have minor problems with front suspension. But to be honest, with NYC roads I don't blame the car. This vehicle is a true character of German engineering and American assembly. Do yourself a favor and get one of these certified or brand new with warranty, other than that, stay away from it, because it's very expensive to fix. Overall, great vehicle! Drives great, comfortable, and very safe. 7 passenger truck but handles like a sedan, great in big city driving, not too big and easy to maneuver in tight spaces, turn radius is great as well. Gas milage is typical for V8 engines 8-11.5 mpg in City and 16-22.6 Hwy.

This is my First Diesel fuel vehicle. So far, I love it. Great gas Milage. I would definitely recommend this to friend. The GL350 rides very smooth for a diesel SUV.

"This is my 4th GL450 and now 2013. There are marked improvements in the handling and the ride. The twin turbo is very responsive, while getting better gas mileage than the previous GL's I have owned. I only have 10000 miles on it, but so far, not one thing to complain about or change. Way to go Mercedes!"
