Built for the challenge
The new generation GL-Class combines on-road luxury and refinement with genuine off-road credentials. Leave the asphalt behind and the vehicle comes into its own, using a range of technologies to tame the toughest terrain.
Permanent four-wheel drive and a 50:50 torque distribution make light work of poor road surfaces and if you venture into really rough country, simply hit the Off-Road button. This activates the ESP® / 4ETS dynamic handling control system, with specially configured Off-Road ABS for maximum traction on challenging ground. Off-Road ASR helps prevent slippage on tricky surfaces such as gravel while Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) enables safe, controlled descents. Likewise, Hill Start Assist enhances safety when you’re making a climb.
Off-Road Pro
Off-Road Pro is fitted as standard across the range allowing the driver to select an on- or off-road ratio when driving or stationary. With consistently good traction, especially when faced with poor conditions, the off-road capability of the GL-Class is superb. Its capability to pull heavy loads, ascend steep gradients and easily negotiate obstacles with the aid of the air suspension system make this vehicle second-to-none.
Off-road options
A number of options are available for the new generation GL-Class, to add convenience to off-road driving. These include a sturdy new tow-bar that manually folds away out of sight under the rear bumper when not in use. Replacing the old detachable version, the folding tow-bar is not available in conjunction with the exterior wheel carrier.
The incorporation of the ESP® Trailer Stability Assist ensures that, in the event of fishtailing, the brakes of the front wheels of the towing vehicle are applied independently to reduce critical swerving motion.
