AS BIG AS THE OPEN ROAD

With three full rows of seating, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is what you'd call a large entry into the SUV market. In fact, Mercedes boasts it has the most interior room of any vehicle in its class -- climbing inside I found no evidence to the contrary.

Even in the back room I never felt cramped, and the foot wells (nice touch) brought welcome leg room. Adding to the roominess: a standard sunroof to ease any claustrophobic leanings. Does the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class sound like your kind of vehicle? Find out more in photos, specs and reviews. And if you're sure it is, we've got financing and pricing info too.
