GL-Class Comes With Grand Edition

The Mercedes-Benz GL- Class Grand Edition is now available in Nigeria.

The distinctive new special edition comes with new highlights and other features.  The exclusive front end of the “Grand Edition” comes with dark-tinted headlamps, a radiator grille with black, high-gloss louvers and a redesigned front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lamps.

To add further exclusivity, light-alloy wheels in Himalaya grey metallic – with a high-sheen finish is also available as an option.  There are other visual highlights too, such as special metallic paint finishes, heat-insulating and infrared-reflecting laminated glass all round, aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs, and separated exhaust tailpipe trim.

The interior of the GL-Class accommodates up to seven occupants creating the luxurious atmosphere you would expect from Mercedes-Benz – in this case comparable to the S-Class. The interior of the Grand Edition has been refined further through the use of stylish materials. Exclusive appointments include two-tone seats (black/porcelain or black/maroon) in leather (or in nappa leather as an option) with a special piping design and contrasting stitching.

The models are equipped with PARKTRONIC and REVERSING CAMERA. The two petrol V8 models with superior power delivery and maximum smoothness comply with the EU3 emissions standard – requested for Nigeria.

The 5.5-litre V8 engine in the GL 500 outputs 285 kW (388 hp) and delivers 530 Newton metres of torque. At 6.5 seconds its acceleration time from a standstill to 100 km/h is almost worthy of a sports car.

On the GL 450, the V8 petrol engine has a displacement of 4.6 litres, outputs 250 kW (340 hp) and generates maximum torque of 460 Newton metres. It takes 7.2 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h.

Its innovative 4MATIC all-wheel drive,  AIRMATIC air suspension, accurate direct-steer system and Adaptive Damping System, ADS, all of which comes as standard, guarantees that the commanding GL is a joy to drive.

Due to its exclusivity the GL Grand Edition will be available for only ten months.
