Our final report on the big GL350 sees it leave the suburbs and hit the adventure trail...
The GL350 is not without faults, but it does what it is what it's supposed to be: a big, comfy, luxury wagon, and it manages that effortlessly.
Is bigger better? The Mercedes-Benz GL350 joins the Melbourne team for the next six-months.
The second-generation GL is the biggest thing Mercedes-Benz builds, outside of their commercial and military truck ranges.
Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall 3333 vehicles across its 2015 and 2015 GL, GLE and GLS SUVs over concerns the power steering system could fail. The German manufacturer reports that moisture may penetrate the electric power steering control unit, interfering with signal transmission...
Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for 19 vehicles from its 2015 ML and GL SUV lines, over concerns of seat belt failure. The manufacturer reports the lower mount of the right-side rear seat belt may have been fitted incorrectly.
