Mercedes Benz has some big plans for this week’s New York Auto Show, with no less than three world debuts planned, as well as the as the U.S. debuts of the 2010 model year E-Class Sedan and Coupe, and an early look at the 2010 model year facelift for the S-Class. The three world debuts include the unveiling of the all-new E63 AMG performance saloon, the production ML450 Hybrid and now the 2010 model year facelift for the GL-Class SUV.

On display is the renamed GL350 BlueTEC diesel and GL450 petrol model, both of which feature a restyled grille, new bumpers, wheels and new lights with LED accents. The GL350 BlueTEC, in particular, replaces the current GL350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and is claimed to offer 20-30% better fuel economy than the comparable petrol model. The seven-seat SUV also boasts an impressive cruising range – up to 600 miles at highway speeds.

Other models in the range boast up to 5% lower fuel consumption than their predecessors, and the entire model family now meets the EU5 emissions standard.

The interior of the GL-Class will accommodate up to seven passengers with more than ample space and comes with a mix of leather and Artico man-made leather seats with contrasting stitching as part of the new model year. The standard specification of the flagship GL 500 includes Nappa leather appointments. All the models feature new instrumentation, a multifunction steering wheel in Nappa leather and crash-responsive Neck-Pro head restraints for the driver and front passenger.

I always loved the GL its really underated...
To be such a huge truck and still look nice is not easy..
Look at the Q7 or Range Rover.. both are akward

This truck is da SHIT..but its damn expensive..

PS
Brown colour is the new white,,which was the new silver..lol

Gimme G & GL, couldn't care less for ML...

This is the truck!

Lovely work done on the front bumper, best design in the line-up. All there other updates on the car are excellent. A 100% solid facelift, except for the poor integration of the entertainment system.

And oh, that blue marble panels are horrid

I hate all the Lexus advertisement on autolies.

I generally just do hate Lexus

By the way, why don't we have an official thread for the GL Facelifted?

1 second....

Surely those wing mirrors aren't the facelifted ones?

1. thought Mercedes are changing all the mirrors to the box ones.

2. doesn't the EU laws say wing mirrors on SUVs HAVE to resemble dumbos ears?

1. Not the GL´s these look like the C class ones before they updated those
2. Belive me those are huge as hell, but the car is larger..lol

Now really put it into perspective of how big it is

Of all the double fog pics we have seen on the new mercs, this is probably the best they have looked lol

^^^^^^^ I think these are by faaaaaaaaaaaaar the worst looking ones..

Nice facelift and updates to my favourite truck.Those front leds and double fogs both look good but the leds are just awesome.Why WHY WHY couldnt the e class get a simalar treatment just i can not understand.

Nice interior also i wish i could upgrade mine but it wont be worth it financilly and mine is still pretty new with only 8000km i havent used my gl a lot.

The current one is awesome i am shure this will be even better..

Dont we need a separate thread...

Few more from autobild

I like it a lot. And I love these RIMS coming out of AMG. They have a winning formula already so they don't need to try and constantly reinvent anything in that department.

And being an SUV, the double fogs actually work.

So much new product......and yet the CL/S-Class Coupe, CLS, E-Class wagon, SLS, and E-Class convertible are coming over the next 6 months.

I want that truck NOW!!!

Black one with beige interior please...

Great facelift, but for once again I don't like the double fogs at all! They are much better in the E!

BTW, what's up with MB and every new model debuts in brown colour? Brown is the new white?

Just remember the Audi A5 Convertible!! It was also shown in brown, probably there will be some more cars shown in this colour soon…

…and I really have to say, that I looks great!! Especially when I remember the ML 63 AMG Edition one…

Even more than the X6?

I'm not big on huge truck but damn that one is hot indeed..

Never. They're not the same class anyways, so...

Yeah true not the same class or image..

No shit, Sherlock.
