The all-new, second-generation Mercedes-Benz GL-Class sport utility has won the 2013 Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year award, and the full article will be included in the December 2012 issue of the magazine. This is the second time the GL-Class has been honored by Motor Trend. The GL model lineup for 2013 includes the fuel-sipping GL350 BlueTEC turbodiesel as well as the GL450 (featured in the Vehicle Review in the June 2012 issue of Limousine Digest). The GL550 and the high-performance GL63 AMG are equipped with new direct-injection biturbo V8 engines.

“We’re honored that the GL-Class has once again been awarded Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year,” says Steve Cannon, president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA. “From the very beginning, the GL-Class has been perfectly tuned to the needs of U.S. customers and those customers made the GL the segment-leading sales performer.”
