Mercedes-Benz GL SUV hands-on

From automatically correcting for crosswinds, to brief moments of autonomous driving, to sensing that you’re about to fall asleep at the wheel, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL SUV offers virtually every technology aid you’ve heard about. There may be no car better suited for long distance travel than the new GL, thanks to the comfy air suspension and whispery diesel engine that carries you 600 miles before refueling. But choose your tech and convenience options wisely to keep the cost under $75,000. The only disappointment in the new GL is the tiny LCD display and mediocre navigation system in a vehicle so big.

 

Even the cheapest $63,000 GL350 comes with a raft of standard safety features, led by the new (for Mercedes) Collision Prevention Assist, which warns if you’re about to rear-end the guy in front, and, if you step on the brakes, the car will control safe braking. Also new in the MB lineup, and standard, is crosswind stabilization. It corrects for gusts of wind sweeping off a bridge or mountain pass.
