: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

Overview

The SUV market remains very popular, particularly among families who need more space for kids but don’t want to sacrifice style and comfort to accommodate more people. With so many companies clambering to offer the perfect solution, the GL550 has a lot of rivals for best in class. These include the Lexus LX570, which is more capable off-road; the Audi Q7, which comes with an optional diesel engine; the INFINITI QX56, with Bose speakers and plenty of luxury options; and the Cadillac Escalade, which has a uniquely stylish exterior and a lot of power under the hood. The Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC measures up nicely among its peers, however, offering a more refined ride and better gas mileage than many other choices, and wooing buyers with plenty of infotainment and comfortable cruising amenities available in the standard trim.
