2011 Mercedes-Benz GL Class vs. Its Competition

2011 Mercedes-Benz GL Class 4MATIC 4-door 4.6L Angular Front Exterior View
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

Cadillac's Escalade comes with three rows of seats and an ornate style, and a hybrid powertrain is available.

The Lexus LX 570 is a huge off-road-friendly hauler with punishing weight and fuel economy, but small third-row seats.

The Land Rover Range Rover has prestige at its back and exceptional off-road prowess, but only two rows of seats.
