Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has introduced the Mercedes-Benz GL 400 in Malaysia with a price tag of RM842,888. The luxurious GL is a big 7-seater SUV that plays in a size class above the usual BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz ML - think of it as a star-badged Range Rover competitor.
The GL 400 is basically the a variant of the big 4.6 litre twin turbo V8 GL 500 introduced last year with a smaller, more roadtax-friendly 3.0 litre twin turbo V6 engine. The '400' engine has a similiar tune to the one found in the E 400 - it does 333 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque, compared to the '500's 430 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7G-TRONIC gearbox.
The equipment list is vast - it's got an AMG bodykit and 21 inch AMG wheels, Intelligent Light System headlamps with Adaptive Main Beam Assist, a panoramic sunroof, DISTRONIC PLUS active cruise control, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, electric folding for the third row of seats, soft-closing doors, a rear seat entertainment system and four-zone air conditioning.
There are some changes compared to the GL 500 though, which came in at RM912,888. Aside from the smaller engine, you have to trade the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG sound system for a lower-end Harman Kardon Logic7 system, and the wood steering has been swapped for a sport steering.
