ESP stability control is also standard, along with antilock brakes – featured with Brake Assist – and active headrests. These are made in order to limit any potential injuries, such as whiplash, during accidents. There are also a variety of options available for extra luxuries and features including an Off-Road package.
The Off-Road package comes with a Class IV hitch, an adaptive-damping suspension system, skid plates for the under body of the vehicle, and locking differential.
Extra options for the 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class include a DVD navigation system, rear-seat entertainment, wheel designs, adaptive cruise control, and an audio system with an upgraded surround sound system.
