Mercedes-Benz GL350 CDI Long Term Report 1

By Charles Pennefather09 Sep 2014

Everyone makes a global vehicle, but some models are more focused on particular markets. The US market and the Mercedes GL are a prime example, and nothing brings this to the fore like a trip to office during rush hour I think, as the parking sensors trill their warning at me from all sides. With rickshaws and motorcycles threatening to scratch my paint, I break out in a sweat and tiptoe through the honking hordes until I realise that without so much as a peep from me they’re parting like the Red Sea before Moses.

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar12 May 2014

My team very well knows about my affinity and profound love for all the big SUVs (pun intended) and so when the Mercedes GL 350 was at CarWale HQ, they had no difficulty choosing the ‘right guy’ for the review.
