Reviews of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI
-
CNET Review
The Good: As a full-size SUV that gets more than 21 mpg because of its diesel engine, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI costs a lot less to operate than competing luxury SUVs. An adjustable suspension and off-road mode make it suitable for rough terrain.
The Bad: The stereo doesn't display track information for MP3 CDs and the infotainment interface's looks are as bad as its performance.
The Bottom Line: The cabin electronics and interface for the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI's infotainment system are old and have fallen far behind today's standards, but the diesel engine makes the car drive well and get incredible fuel economy for a full-size SUV.
