The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class ( Code Name ''X164'') is a DaimlerChrysler Full-size Luxury Crossover SUV built by the German Automaker Mercedes-Benz since the 2007 Model Year . The GL-Class debuted at the 2006 North American International Auto Show . It lacks the boxy styling and Body-on-frame construction of the G-Class in favor of a modified version of the M-Class' Unibody architecture. Many motorists consider it the "Elongated and Wider" version of the recently redesigned M-Class. It is a 3-row, 7-passenger crossover SUV with much more luxurious equipment than previous civilian G-Class vehicles. All future GL-Class vehicles will be assembled at DaimlerChrysler 's Alabama factory. The GL class was originally intended to replace the 25 year old G-Class model, however due to public and fan outcries, Mercedes Benz had decided to keep the G-Class in production for the foreseeable future and decided to update it for the 2007 model year. The GL Class now competes with the Lincoln Navigator, the Lexus LX class and other large crossover SUVs of its type. Mercedes-Benz introduced its Bluetec Diesel system to the GL-Class at the 2006 North American International Auto Show as the GL 320 Bluetec. This system uses Urea to clean Diesel emissions, making the GL 320 50-state legal in the United States . It went on sale as a 2007 model in July 2006, but models with urea injection will only be introduced in 2009 model year. ENGINES
