Reviews from Mercedes GL-class owners

Mercedes GL-class, 2012

I've owned the GL 350 for about a month. During this time I drove about 5,000 km. I bought it from the "officials". I'll start with the acquisition process. I give 5 points for the service and the purchasing process itself. Everything is at a very high level. They gave me a keychain and a “mountain” of auto chemicals. I was so excited about my purchase that I forgot all the gifts that come with the car. Mercedes GL-class - my first diesel car. The dynamics are more than sufficient for driving in Moscow and on the “killed” roads of our vast Motherland. According to indications on-board computer average speed my movement during ownership is 30 km/h (taking into account Moscow traffic jams and weekly trips out of town on weekends). For me personally, a 2-liter engine would be quite enough. There is a certain “thoughtiness” of the engine when you want to take off, but this does not cause discomfort.

After I switched from a Toyota LC 200 to a Mercedes GL-class, I have the feeling that the GL 350 does not need to be refueled at all - there is such a huge difference in fuel consumption between these cars. According to my calculations, the LC 200 is more voracious than the Mercedes GL-class by more than 2.5 times. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to save on fuel, but trips to the gas station “kill” a lot of time and, as a rule, you need to refuel just at the moment when you are hopelessly late for an important meeting. The surprise was that when driving the GL there is absolutely no desire to go fast. You really enjoy driving.

Advantages : comfort. Quality of finishing materials. Engine. Suspension. Economical.

Flaws : I don’t see it yet.

A seven-seater car that is prestigious big car, which has already survived two generations and is very popular especially here in Russia and especially in black, and this is about the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class X166 2016-2017.

The second generation was shown to the public in 2012 and this happened at the New York Auto Show, in the same year the car was put into mass production.

The new generation has changed quite a lot in appearance and began to look more modern and more aggressive and prestigious. also in better side it was changed appearance and interior functionality.

Design

The external part looks brutal due to its size. The car is very similar to the ML, there are minor differences, the main one being the size. One of the most strengths– design, it’s difficult not to notice the car, but if you live in a big city, you’re used to it.

Stylish large LED optics, a huge radiator grille with two thick chrome bars and big logo most attract the eye. The high hood received two stamping lines in the middle. The SUV's huge bumper has plastic silver protection, large square air intakes and thin LED foglights.

The side part is also quite stylish and attractive. Huge wheel arches, deep stamping line. The very design of the lines is attractive, massive mirrors, huge chrome roof rails, chrome glass trim. It all looks really brutal; on the road the car looks menacing and attractive.

The rear of the Mercedes-Benz GL X166 also strongly resembles its younger brother. Large optics with LED lines inside. The turn signals are connected thanks to a chrome insert on the tailgate. At the top there is a classic spoiler equipped with additional signal brakes The rear bumper of the car is very similar to the front bumper with its additions. Notable in stock exhaust pipes no, some have them.

Because it's really big car, it would be useful to know its dimensions:

• length – 5120 mm;
• width – 2141 mm;
• height – 1850 mm;
• wheelbase– 3075 mm;
• ground clearance - 200 mm.

Specifications

The line of power units includes 7 engines, 3 of which are gasoline. The units are quite powerful, so for amateurs calm ride It is not necessary to purchase the most powerful one. Unfortunately for our customers, the line has been limited, there are only three engines.

1. The less powerful 350 version is equipped with a 3-liter turbocharged diesel V6. The engine with a direct injection system produces 249 horses and 620 H*m of torque. The torque plateau is available at 2400 engine rpm, maximum power at 3600.8 seconds the SUV will already reach the first hundred, and the maximum it can reach is 220 km/h. Consumption of 9 liters of diesel fuel is quite economical for such a car.
2. Basic petrol Mercedes-Benz engine The 2016-2017 GL-Class is also a 3-liter turbocharged V6. The 400 version with direct injection produces 333 horses and 480 torque. Again, maximum performance is available at high speed above 4 thousand. The dynamics have certainly improved - 6.7 seconds to the first hundred. Maximum speed 240 km/h is not bad. Fuel consumption of 12 liters is acceptable, but it will only be in quiet mode.
3. The most powerful version offered, apart from the 500 version, produces 435 horses and 700 units of torque. Now a V8, also turbocharged, whose maximum power is also available at high revs. Now the car accelerates to hundreds in 5.4 seconds, the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. Consumption is of course higher, approximately 15 liters in the city during quiet driving.

Regardless of the choice of unit, they will work in conjunction with a 9-speed automatic transmission 9G-Tronic. The torque is distributed over the wheels thanks to a proprietary all-wheel drive system. You can also install the previous version - 7G-Tronic Plus.

The chassis is completely pneumatic - AIRMATIC, which can be controlled by a puck inside the cabin. The suspension is very comfortable and soft. The ground clearance can be adjusted, this system is called On and Offroad, there is also a system for traveling with a trailer, and so on.

Interior of GL X166

The interior is very spacious and has 7 seats. The driver's steering wheel is 4-spoke, and it is equipped with many buttons with which you can control the multimedia system. The steering wheel is made of soft leather and also of wood elements. There is a large display on the center console multimedia system, which can be controlled either with the help of the touch display, and using a washer near the gearbox selector.

The entire interior is made of high-quality leather and good wood. The front passenger seats have many adjustments in various directions, and also have a massage function.

As a result, we can say that the Mercedes-Benz GL SUV has a simply wonderful interior with an excellent set of functions that will be a pleasure to be in. Free space as you understand, it is more than enough, it is enough both in front and behind. The trunk is also an important part in such a car, its volume is 680 liters, and if you need to transport large loads, you can fold the rear row and increase it to 2300 liters.

The car is equipped air suspension, traction control system, system active safety and many useful functions in the suspension system, in expensive trim levels radius systems are appearing that will perform well off-road.

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class engine malfunctions

Many people prefer the only diesel engine, the OM642, which has proven itself in . Technically it is slightly different from the previous version, which allowed it to have more power Yu. The pains are still the same:

• injector nozzles wear out due to low fuel quality;
• inoperative fuel injection pump for the same reason of poor fuel;
• EGR valve clogged;
• clogging of the DPF particulate filter;
• leaking heat exchanger gaskets and crankshaft pulley seals.

You don’t have to live with them, this is just a list of the most common problems that sometimes befall the owner. The main parts - the chain, turbine and cylinder head - last a long time. The turbine runs up to 200 thousand in a relaxed driving style, and the chain will last even longer.

You can buy a car with such an engine for short runs. By filling it with good fuel, it will serve you for a long time, with virtually no strain.

The petrol V6 (M276) is an engine based on the M272, which has drunk a lot of the blood of owners of old Mercedes. The manufacturer has modified the installation, taking into account all the problems. Here there are nuances with the chain, or rather its tensioner. It does not fully reach operating mode, which is why the knocking appears when cold, in advanced cases it always knocks.

The engine turbines are durable, there are no problems with them. On rare runs of the Mercedes GL X166 over 200 thousand, cylinder scuffing occurs. How fittingly these are cars of racers who, in addition, have subjected the engine to tuning.

The M278 4.7-liter engine also has some malfunctions. The first problem is the knocking noise caused by malfunction chain tensioner and camshaft clutch. The manufacturer constantly claims that it has solved the problem, but in fact it has not. Problematic couplings have long been known to repairmen, so they can be solved for little money.

In general, the chain is quite reliable; traveling 150 thousand kilometers is not a problem for it.

M278 is prone to scuffing, the reason is lack of oil and heavy load. Oil starvation continuously leads to seizures, eliminating them is a fight against the consequences; you need to solve the cause, which lies in the malfunction of the oil pump. A large GL load is design feature engine, so it does not like additional overloads.

The conclusion is repeated - the engine does not like aggressive operating mode.

Among the annoying little things in the engine is rapid wear Injection pump due to bad gasoline or high temperature. The second little thing is the intake corrugations falling apart every 100 thousand kilometers. There's nothing you can do about it, you have to change it.

Suspension and automatic transmission faults

The AIRMATIC air suspension works much better than the previous version. All elements can last at least 4 years. Cylinders for greater reliability protected by a casing.

The 7G-Tronic gearbox has also become much more reliable. She lost all her malfunctions associated with overheating and constant deaths of the gas turbine engine. The GL X166 torque converter can now be serviced, its oil changed, etc. The gas turbine engine itself gradually wears out, and the proximity to replacement is expressed by vibrations at the start.

Also, the hydraulic unit in the gearbox wears out and chips get into the oil. It's all the fault of the owners who start driving actively without warming up the box. By the way, all owners have leaking seals between the gearbox and the engine. It only needs to be fixed if there are a lot of leaks.

In later versions, the engines were equipped with a 9G-Tronic gearbox. Its problems are unknown due to the low mileage.

Advice! Sellers, of course, like to inflate the mileage, but this is impossible to do completely. You can reflash all the blocks, which will take a lot of time, and as a result, a structure mismatch will appear. A meticulous buyer will determine the originality of the mileage. Be meticulous.

Cost of Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2016-2017

You should immediately understand that such a luxurious car cannot be cheap; only 3 trim levels and a small number of options are offered. You will have to pay at least for this car 4,820,000 rubles and here's what you can get for this money:

• leather trim;
• electrically adjustable seats;
• heated front and back row;
• hill start assistance;
• collision avoidance system;
• climate control;
• two parking sensors;
• all-round view;
• Cruise control;
• tire pressure sensor;
• rain and light sensor.

The most expensive version costs 7,150,000 rubles, and here you pay most for the motor, but you also get additional equipment:

• electrical adjustment memory;
• a roof with a panoramic view with hatch;
• seat ventilation;
• Rear View Camera;
• keyless access;
• starting the unit from a button;
• excellent audio system.

Here is the list of options:

• blind spot monitoring;
• lane control;
• night vision system;
• navigation;
• 20's discs;
• roof rails;
• 21st wheels;
• automatic parking.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the manufacturer was able to create a beautiful car externally and internally, and there were also no problems with the dynamics of the Mercedes-Benz GL X166 and, most importantly, the quality of it all. The only problem remains is the high price of the car and personal taste for such bodies, but believe me, the car is really worth the money.

5 doors SUVs

History of Mercedes GL / Mercedes GEL

In January 2006, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS), Mercedes-Benz lit a new star in the segment luxury cars SUV categories: GL-class.

GL boasts an impressive list of equipment passive safety from adaptive airbags to Pre-Safe systems(it analyzes the data received from ABS and ESP and in critical situations tightens the belts, returns the backrests to a vertical position), which is offered for the first time for SUVs.

Of course, the car received a permanent all-wheel drive system, Mercedes' proprietary 4MATIC. Well, Europeans (including Russian buyers) are even luckier - another proprietary Offroad-Pro system will be installed on all versions for this market. Thanks to the transfer case with reduction gear and differential locks transfer case And rear axle The GL class is ready to overcome almost any off-road terrain. A special version of the Airmatic air suspension allows the car to rise up to 307 mm and overcome fords up to 60 centimeters deep. The air suspension works in tandem with the ADS system, which dampens bumps, allowing you to enjoy the car's handling.

Will also help off-road special systems: such as anti-slope systems that make it easier to move downhill and start on an uphill slope, ABS. In addition, all models produced for European market, including Russia are equipped as standard with the package technical equipment off-road OFFROAD-PRO, which further expands the capabilities of the Mercedes GL in extreme terrain.

Offered and diesel engines: V6 3.2 l. 244 hp (GL 320 CDI) and V8 with 306 hp. (GL 420 CDI). Both engines meet strict EU-4 emissions standards.

All engines installed in the GL-Class are equipped as standard with a seven-speed automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC with DIRECT SELECT system and the ability manual switching transmission

Excellent dynamics and low consumption fuel – the result of relatively low total weight, which is ensured by a monocoque body and excellent aerodynamics for a car with such impressive dimensions (cw 0.37).

GL meets all requirements for to a modern car SUV category. He inherited the classic Mercedes SUV genes – solidity, reliability and endurance. It is not for nothing that its designation contains the letter “G”, indicating the legendary great-grandfather of all SUVs - the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Review on YouTube:

At the 2012 New York Auto Show, the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class debuted in the X166 body, which the company itself describes as the Mercedes S-Class among SUVs, both in terms of comfort and luxury, and in terms of safety.

Compared to its predecessor, new Mercedes The GL (X166) has increased slightly in all dimensions, its length is 5,120 mm, width - 2,141, height - 1,849. The wheelbase has remained unchanged, its value is 3,073 mm.

Options and prices Mercedes-Benz GL 2015

Externally, the Mercedes GL (2014-2015) turned out to be a little similar to the new one. They are united by the smoother outlines of the radiator grille and head optics. Also a common element of the two listed models are side stampings.

The II generation GL SUV (X166) also has a completely different bumper with large air intakes and integrated LED running lights, tail lights increased in size, a different trunk lid, and the window sill line received a bend.

IN seven-seater cabin of the new Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2015, the finishing materials have been improved, and the front panel again evokes thoughts of last generation crossover ML-Class. The center console is crowned with a multimedia system screen; round ventilation nozzles have given way to rectangular ones.

All three power units that were offered for the previous generation GL-Class have undergone slight modernization, which made it possible to increase their output, but at the same time reduce fuel consumption slightly.

The base 3.0-liter turbodiesel found in the GL 350 BlueTEC produces 240 hp. (617 Nm). With it, the SUV reaches a hundred from a standstill in 8.4 seconds. The GL 450 version is equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 twin-turbo engine producing 362 hp. (550 Nm), accelerating the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds.

Finally, the top-end GL 500 with a 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbo under the hood now develops 435 hp. - by 41 hp more than before, and peak torque is 700 Nm. To accelerate to hundreds, an SUV with such an engine only needs 5.6 seconds.

Of course, all modifications of the new product are all-wheel drive, and the transmission, as before, is represented only by a seven-speed automatic. The equipment of the new Mercedes GL (X166) includes air suspension, electromechanical power steering and many safety systems.

Russian dealers began accepting orders for the new product in August 2012. Initially, it was possible to order only the top modification of the GL 500 in the fixed “Special Series” configuration; today the price of such an SUV is 7,150,000 rubles. Then a car appeared with a 3.0-liter diesel engine (249 hp) costing from 4,850,000 rubles, and in February 2013 a “charged” one reached us, for which they are asking at least 9,100,000 rubles.
