Owner reviews Mercedes GL-class

Mercedes GL-class, 2012

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

After I switched from Toyota LC 200 to Mercedes GL-class, I get the feeling that the GL 350 does not need to be filled at all - such a huge difference between these cars in fuel consumption. According to my calculations, the LC 200 is more than 2.5 times more “gluttonous” than the Mercedes GL-class. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to save on fuel, but gas station races "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 while driving the GL there is absolutely no desire to go fast. You really enjoy driving.

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

Flaws : I don't see it yet.

Luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GL-class 2nd generation (factory index X166) debuted in the spring of 2012 at the New York Auto Show. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G El is a real premium car, but is it really that reliable, that's the question.
Let's take a look at the German SUV together, evaluate the overall dimensions of the body and interior, select the color of the enamel, try on tires and wheels, consider the filling with comfort functions, and most importantly, we will deal with the technical characteristics of the new Mercedes GL-class (engine, automatic transmission, suspension) and find out the weaknesses seemingly flawless German SUV, which is offered to buy for, you see, quite a considerable price. Our assistants will be photo and video materials, as well as the first reviews of the owners.

More new premium cars:

In Russia, large and expensive cars enjoy increased attention not only from potential buyers. Motorists with a more modest level of income also show interest in premium class representatives, since such cars are traditionally forwards in all technical innovations. And in this sense, our hero of the new generation Mercedes GL-class is very interesting. He has something to brag about, and in him ... there is something to break.

Mercedes Benz Jee El - a very large car, overall dimensions bodies are impressive: 5120 mm long, 1934 mm (with mirrors 2141 mm) wide, 1850 mm high, 3075 mm wheelbase, ground clearance ( clearance) thanks to adjustable air suspension 215-306 mm.
The Mercedes GL SUV rests on the road surface with huge wheels shod in tires 265/ 60 R 18 or 275/ 55 R19, but it is possible to install larger discs with tires 275/50 R20, 285/45 R21 and even 295/35 R22. The wheels are only alloy wheels, of various designs and sizes from R18 to R22.
The curb weight of the car, depending on the installed engine, will be 2445-2455 kg.
Colors Enamels for painting the body can be selected from two non-metallic colors - White Calcite and Black, as well as metallic colors - Beige Pearl, Silver Iridium, Black Obsidian, White Diamond, Tenorite Gray, Brown Citrine or Blue Cavansite. There are no questions about the quality of painting - the metal is of high quality, it is impossible to calculate how many layers of anti-corrosion coating, primer and enamel, only the body is varnished 7 !!! once.
Looks Mercedes G. L (X166) seriously, and just the same great. The front of the SUV - with a huge false radiator grille, decorated with two crossbars and a three-beam star of a German company, compact headlights of complex shape with a combined filling (xenon and LED arcs). To match the overall dimensions of the body, a bumper with a mass of air ducts, a pair of LED strips and stylish protection in the form of a chrome ski. When viewed from the side, we see a large station wagon body with a long hood, a flat roof, huge doorways and a monumental stern. The lateral surfaces are replete with stampings, depressions, ribs and swellings. The stern was awarded with beautiful elements of overall lighting equipment with LED filling, a huge bumper with a diffuser and a gigantic tailgate (equipped with an electric drive). It is worth noting that for the body of the new "J-El" the Crosswind Assist function is provided (suppresses the effects of crosswinds). It is even capable of resisting the flow of air from passing trucks.

It will most likely be superfluous to talk about the quality of the interior materials of the new Mercedes Jiel, everything is very sound, but ... even in the seemingly expensive and luxurious interior of the 2012-2013 GL, there is plastic painted like metal. The choice of the buyer six different colors of leather and five options for decorative inserts (wood and aluminum). Front comfortable seats with pronounced lateral support and, of course, with a full range of functions (electric drive, heating, ventilation).
Instruments, front panel and center console - style and functionality. In the presence of a color 14.7 cm screen of the Command CD MP3 multimedia system with USB and AUX connectors, Bluetooth, DVD with Harman Kardon Logic 7 acoustics (as an option Bang & Olufsen BeoSound), navigation, panoramic cameras. Three-zone climate control with a control unit for second-row passengers, who are provided with plenty of free space and individual monitors mounted in the front headrests. Even in the third row, two adult passengers will sit comfortably and comfortably. The volume of the trunk with seven crew members is 680 liters, adding the third and second rows we get an edema of 2300 liters with a completely flat floor.
Safety in the new Mercedes Jiel is in full order: ABS, ESP and ASR are available, an active safety system (Pre-Safe), the car monitors the driver’s fatigue state (Attention Assist), adaptive cruise control, Pre-Safe Brake - in case of danger independently brake and stop the SUV. Even options are provided in the form of systems that monitor the crossing of the lane markings, blind spots, road signs. It is possible to order a night vision camera, a panoramic electric sunroof, a parking assistant. The abundance of electronics is good, but quite often the systems have "glitches", or they simply break.

Specifications new Mercedes GL-class 2012-2013: in Russia the car is offered in four modifications, with one diesel and three petrol engines equipped with the ECO start-stop system. Gearbox automatic transmission 7G-Tronic Plus (for version GL 63 AMG - AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic). Suspension is fully independent, front double wishbone, rear multi-link. 4Matic all-wheel drive transmission with AirMatic air suspension and On and Off road function with six modes and mechanical center differential lock:

• Auto - standard mode, for constant use in the city,
• Off-road 1 - sand, light off-road,
• Off-road 2 - heavy off-road, maximum ground clearance of 306 mm and the ability to overcome a ford 60 cm deep,
• Sport - sport mode with sharp steering responses, engine response and stiff suspension characteristics,
• Snow - winter mode, allows you to confidently move on slippery roads and use snow chains,
• Trailer - towing heavy trailers.

Diesel V6:

• Mercedes-Benz GL 350 CDI - diesel (258 hp) will provide a start to 100 mph in 7.9 seconds, a top speed of 209 mph. Fuel consumption of 6.9 liters on the highway and 8.1 liters in the city.

Petrol V8s:

• GL 450 (365 hp) will accelerate the SUV to 100 mph in 6.3 seconds and allow you to dial 220 mph.
• GL 500 BlueEfficiency (435 hp) shoots a car up to the first hundred in 5.5 seconds, electronics will not allow to accelerate more than 250 mph. Fuel consumption, depending on the driving mode, will be 9.3-14.5 liters.
• Mercedes GL 63 AMG with a 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo (557 hp) catapults the SUV and the driver to 100 mph in 4.7 seconds, the monstrous acceleration will end at 250 mph. The average fuel consumption according to the manufacturer will be 12.3 liters.

We will not conduct a test drive of the 2013 Mercedes Jee El, let's talk about the reliability of the SUV components and assemblies. The car is heavy, the roads in Russia, to put it mildly, are not smooth enough. The abundance of pits and potholes multiplied by the high speed of movement (they don’t drive slowly on such a car) adversely affect the chassis of the car. The most susceptible to early breakdowns and the need to carry out repairs already at a mileage of 40-50 thousand km are the steering rack, air suspension elements, the electronic control unit for the gearbox (the box can also fail), all kinds of engine sensors and ignition coils. At the same time, the cost of spare parts is quite high and can amount to several thousand euros. According to the statistics of owners' requests for warranty cases, the Mercedes-Benz GL (X166) is in first place among the entire model range of the company!!! Perhaps the reason for this unfortunate phenomenon lies in the fact that many components, parts and accessories for Mercedes cars, wherever they are sold, are produced at the company's factories in China.

How much it costs: in Russia, the price of the new Mercedes GL 500 BlueEfficiency 2013 model year rolls over 5 million - you can buy a car from us for 5,200,000 rubles.

A seven-seat car, which is a prestigious large car that has survived two generations and is very popular especially 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 it 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, the appearance and functionality of the cabin has been changed for the better.

Design

The outer part looks brutal due to its size. The car is very similar to the ML, there are minor differences, the main thing is the size. One of the strengths is the design, it's hard 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 a large logo attract the eye most of all. The high hood received two stamping lines in the middle. The huge bumper of the SUV has silver plastic protection, large square air intakes and thin LED foglights.

The side part is also quite stylish and attractive. Huge wheel arches, the deepest stamping line. The very design of the lines attracts, massive mirrors, huge chrome roof rails, chrome glass edging. 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 an additional brake signal. The rear bumper of the car with its additions strongly resembles the front. There are no noticeable exhaust pipes in the drain, some of them are present.

Since this is a 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 has 7 engines, 3 of which are gasoline. The units are powerful enough, so for lovers of a quiet ride it is not necessary to purchase the most powerful one. Unfortunately, the range was limited to our customers, there are three engines in total.

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 moment shelf is available at 2400 engine revolutions, maximum power at 3600.8 seconds and the SUV will already gain the first hundred, and it will be able to reach a maximum of 220 km / h. Consumption of 9 liters of diesel fuel, for such a car is quite economical.
2. The base gasoline engine of the 2016-2017 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is also a 3-liter turbocharged V6. The 400 version with direct injection produces 333 horses and 480 torque. Again, the maximum performance is available at high speeds above 4 thousand. The dynamics certainly got better - 6.7 seconds to the first hundred. The maximum speed of 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 on offer, 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 maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. Consumption is certainly higher, about 15 liters in the city with a quiet ride.

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

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

Interior GL X166

Inside the cabin is very roomy 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, as well as wood elements. On the center console there is a large display of the multimedia system, which can be controlled both using the touch screen itself and using the puck near the gear selector.

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

As a result, we can say that the Mercedes-Benz GL SUV has just a wonderful interior with an excellent set of functions in which it will be a pleasure to be. There is more than enough free space, as you understand, 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 carry large loads, you can fold the back row and increase it to 2300 liters.

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

Malfunctions of Mercedes-Benz GL-Class engines

Many prefer the only diesel OM642, which has proven itself well on. Technically, it is slightly different from the previous version, which allowed it to have more power. The pain is the same:

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

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

A car with such an engine can be bought on small runs. By pouring good fuel into it, it will serve you for a long time, practically without straining.

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

The engine turbines are tenacious, there are no problems with them. On rare runs of the Mercedes GL X166 more than 200 thousand, cylinder scuffing occurs. How right these are the cars of the racers, in addition to subjecting the engine to tuning.

The M278 4.7-liter engine also has some malfunctions. The first problem is a knock caused by improper operation of the chain tensioner and camshaft clutch. The manufacturer constantly claims that he solved the problem, in fact - no. Problem clutches have long been known to repairmen, so they are solved for little money.

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

The M278 is prone to scuffing due to lack of oil and heavy load. Oil starvation continuously leads to scuffing, their elimination is a struggle with the investigation, it is necessary to solve the cause, which lies in the malfunction of the oil pump. A large load of the GL is a design feature of the engine, so it does not like additional overloads.

The conclusion is repeated - the engine does not like an aggressive mode of operation.

Of the offensive little things in the engine, this is the rapid wear of the high-pressure fuel pump due to poor gasoline or high temperatures. The second little thing is the collapsing intake corrugations every 100 thousand kilometers. There's nothing you can do about it, you have to change.

Suspension and automatic transmission malfunctions

Air suspension AIRMATIC works much better than the previous version. All elements are able to last at least 4 years. Cylinders for greater reliability are protected by a casing.

The 7G-Tronic gearbox is also 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, oil changed, etc. The gas turbine engine itself gradually wears out, and the proximity to a replacement is expressed by vibrations at the start.

Also, the valve body wears out in the gearbox, chips get into the oil. It's all the fault of the owners, who are starting to drive actively without warming up the box. By the way, all owners have a gland connecting the box and the engine. You need to fix it only if there are a lot of leaks.

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

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

The cost of Mercedes-Benz GL-Class 2016-2017

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

• leather upholstery;
• electrically adjustable seats;
• front and rear row heating;
• help start uphill;
• collision avoidance system;
• climate control;
• two parking sensors;
• circular review;
• Cruise control;
• tire pressure sensor;
• rain and light sensor.

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

• electrical adjustment memory;
• panoramic sunroof;
• seat ventilation;
• Rear View Camera;
• keyless access;
• start the unit from the button;
• excellent audio system.

And here is the list of options:

• blind spot monitoring;
• lane control;
• night vision system;
• navigation;
• 20th discs;
• roof rails;
• 21st discs;
• 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 no problems with the dynamics of the Mercedes-Benz GL X166 and, most importantly, the quality of all this. The problem remains only in the high price of the car and personal taste for such bodies, but believe me, the car is really worth the money.

Video

The Mercedes GL 500 is a Stuttgart-made car that was designed specifically for US buyers. That is for the American market. The presentation of this car took place in 2006 in North America. In general, it was planned that this car would replace the Gelendvagen, but it was decided to continue the production of the famous G-class. The novelty of the mid-2000s was built on an elongated Mercedes ML platform, and it turned out to be a very special car.

Briefly about the model

So, the body of this large SUV received the X164 index. The GL 500 model has become another eminent "five hundredth". This car is special and unique in its own way. Compared to its predecessors, which are ML cars, it is 308mm longer, 2.5cm taller, and has a 160mm longer wheelbase. The model underwent its first facelift in 2012.

If a person is sitting in the second row, then he can see that the backs of the front seats are trimmed with plastic. And everything is done as neatly as possible - the eye rejoices. Although many plastic, albeit high-quality, is not satisfied.

By the way, the roof over the heads of passengers and the driver of the GL 500 4MATIC is panoramic. The second and third row of seats can be folded with a servo. Thanks to him, you can open the luggage lid. In that situation, if the third row is complicated, then the trunk volume is as much as 2300 liters. And it's impressive!

Specifications

This is what needs to be said in as much detail as possible. The Mercedes-Benz GL 500 has a rather powerful performance. Firstly, this model is equipped with a 7-speed “automatic” and Airmatic air suspension, which in standard mode raises the body of this powerful SUV by 217 mm. But if the driver moves along the road at a speed of more than 140 kilometers per hour, then the car will “sit down” by 1.5 centimeters. However, this is not a minus. On the contrary, such a change contributes to better handling and stability of the car on the road. And all because the center of gravity is lowered.

The maximum clearance is 307 mm. This indicator is observed in the upper position. In this case, the SUV will not care for the ford, the depth of which will be, say, 60 centimeters. But! Movement with the suspension raised to the maximum is possible only at a maximum of 20 kilometers. And as soon as the driver overcomes the high-speed line, the car will lower itself, automatically. In addition, the chassis can adjust not only the rigidity, but also the height.

Drive unit

So, this Mercedes has very good characteristics. The GL 500 is distinguished primarily by the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive system. Thanks to her, 45 percent of the torque is distributed to the front axle. And the remaining 55% - on the back. However, with all this, one cannot “blame” an SUV for a rear-wheel drive character. The whole point is that the system that distributes traction immediately “scatters” torque on the wheels as soon as slipping occurs or traction is lost with the canvas. All in all, pretty functional.

Details to know

So, now about more important nuances. Under the hood of the GL 500 is a V-shaped 8-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 388 horsepower. The torque is 530 N∙m. This SUV accelerates to hundreds in 6.5 seconds. And the maximum speed is 240 kilometers per hour - an excellent indicator for such a large car.

The average fuel consumption pleases - only 13.3 liters per hundred kilometers. In this case, it is equal to one hundred liters.

The curb weight of the car is 2445 kilograms - a good, very modest weight for an off-road German car.

Interestingly, this machine is far superior to its competitors in terms of its technical and speed characteristics. Among them are Lexus LX570 and Nissan Patrol - in general, they are also good, soundly assembled models. But compared to them, Mercedes clearly wins. It features a confident ride, excellent maneuverability, handling, load-bearing solid body and independent chassis.

Price

And finally, one more thing worth knowing about the GL 500 car. Price is what we are talking about. She's big enough to understand. You should not expect that a powerful SUV with such characteristics will cost a couple of hundred thousand. No, the cost of the Mercedes GL 500, released in 2013, will be approximately four and a half million rubles. And this is a car in excellent condition both in terms of interior and exterior, and in terms of technology and equipment. Plus, a small mileage - a couple of tens of thousands. And, of course, with the maximum configuration.

And if you want to become the owner of the novelty of 2015, which has not yet had a single owner, you will have to pay about 6.5-7 million rubles. But we must admit: this luxury Stuttgart SUV is worth the price.
