The Mercedes GL-Class is a beautifully crafted car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz, the German car manufacturing brand name. The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is a relatively new car classification, since it was only introduced around 2006. This car is classified as a crossover utility vehicle (CUV for short), or simply just crossover. It combines features of both the sports utility vehicle (called SUV for short), and passenger vehicles much like a station wagon. This is an apt classification for the GL-Class, since it sports a 3-row interior and a total of a 7-seating capacity.

        The Mercedes GL-Class is also classified as a luxury, full-size CUV, which is not unsuspecting since Mercedes-Benz did manufacture it. This car has already 2 generations of itself, with the first spanning from 2006 to 2012, and the second starting from 2012 up to today. The GL-Class won the Sport Utility Vehicle Of The Year Award (which is strange because it is not entirely an SUV) in 2007 and 2013. This award is given to the best cars around the world by the magazine Motor Trend. Both the 1^st generation and its 2^nd generation of the GL-Class won the 2007 and 2013 awards, respectively. It edged out other worthy car models such as Land Rover’s Range Rover Evoque, the Cayenne, by Porsche, Subaru’s great SUVs, and many other SUVs.
