GLS [Official] Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (X166)

[Wunderkind]

I just noticed a new button to the right of the ventilated seat button. 3rd from left. It looks to be some additional ventilation. Anyone venture a guess?

Oh, and if you want to see a 360 camera now, just stop by the local Infiniti dealer. they've had it for a few years now. At least since 2010 MY.

I think it's just a combination of the ventilation seat and heated seat function.

AUX heat/vent (Standheizung) might not be offered in the U.S.?

Maybe the upholder heater and cooler?

Front 360 degree camera centered under the star in the front grille?

I think the GL is my favorite of Mercedes' suvs. Then the G and then the ML. GL63 AMG Please, The Do It All Vehicle.

Awesome machine this is a great car...After Driving and getting my ML i look forward to getting a Drive in this new GL..

 

[klier]

Such a great improvement over the previous version! My favorite MB SUV right now! GL63 must be heaven inside...

Front 360 degree camera centered under the star in the front grille?

It's a camera alright, but it's a damn amazing one if it's able to get a 360 degree frontal view from that point...180 degrees you must mean. For 360 degrees, the camera needs to be on top of the car.

Or better, your BMW dealer

It's a camera alright, but it's a damn amazing one if it's able to get a 360 degree..

It's a system consisting of 4 cameras.

The 360° camera is a system consisting of four cameras.
The system evaluates images from the following cameras:

• reversing camera
• front camera
• two cameras in the exterior rear view mirrors

The cameras capture the immediate surroundings of the vehicle. The system supports you, e.g. when parking or if vision is restricted at an exit. The 360° camera images can be shown in full screen mode or in seven different split-screen views on the COMAND display.

Suspect it might be overkill? I like Parktronic. But dont use reversing cameras frequently.

 

[klier]

No, I don't think it is overkill at all. It's very useful actually..

 

[Merc1]

My god it is gorgeous. This is now one of my favorite SUVs. Only the G and possibly the new Range Rover would top it on sheer curb appeal.

Where is the icon_drool smilie when you need it??

Absolutely magnificent!!!!

Really a home run on this one by M-B for an SUV. The front 3/4 is the money shot.

 

[fortuner]

WOW This is a Magestic SUV i love this new Mercedes SUv and the ML also some nice new colors....GL is the Current SUV king.

I agree 100%. It's probably one of my favorite Merc's of all time. But what I find the most staggering is how well the old GL aged, and how it still looks okay next to its successor, which is gorgeous itself.

 

[K-A]

IMO the previous GL is horrendous looking. Like a big barge but still feminine in that "only Soccer Moms" way. The new one, total fix on that.

 

[fortuner]

That video makes me proud as a owner of the previous GL i hope to own this oneday its a beauty..
