The 2009-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, codenamed X164, is a full-size luxury SUV that marked a significant shift in the brand's offering. This generation transitioned from the previous, somewhat rugged, body-on-frame construction to a more refined unibody platform. This allowed for a more car-like ride and handling, while still retaining the commanding presence and off-road capability expected of a Mercedes SUV. The GL-Class was available in a range of powerful engine options, including V6, V8, and even a potent V8 diesel. These engines were paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth power delivery and efficient fuel consumption. Beyond its powerful drivetrain, the X164 generation GL-Class offered a luxurious interior with high-quality materials, ample space for seven passengers, and an impressive list of standard and optional features. This included advanced safety systems like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring, further bolstering its reputation as a safe and secure vehicle.

The GL-Class X164 generation was a testament to Mercedes-Benz's commitment to luxury and performance. It delivered a comfortable and spacious interior, powerful engine options, and a range of advanced technologies. The vehicle was praised for its versatility, offering both a refined on-road experience and surprisingly capable off-road performance. However, as with many luxury vehicles of the era, the GL-Class X164 also faced critiques for its high purchase price and maintenance costs. Despite these challenges, the X164 GL-Class solidified its position as a top contender in the luxury SUV segment, setting the stage for future generations of this iconic model. While the X164 generation is now officially out of production, its legacy lives on in the current GLS-Class, which continues to build upon the foundation of luxury, performance, and versatility established by its predecessor.
