New cars come out so fast these days it’s difficult to keep up.  Happily however, there are car companies, usually German ones, that like to take their time. When it comes to luxury, Mercedes are in routine of setting flagships. Mercedes is the kind of company that put in a lot of time, research and money before rolling out a car. The Mercedes Benz GL 63 does is no exception. With a lot of futuristic gizmos and a tasty interior, it is devoted to keeping the journey mollifying.

Though the car is bulky, its chassis and suspension brings about the feeling of complete agility. The Mercedes Benz GL 63 is capable of extreme feats in terms of speed and acceleration, yet, it urges the driver to maintain a calm persona. The 550hp powerhouse does 0 to 100 in 4.8 seconds which makes it exorbitantly fast for divorced moms. Now, 4.8 seconds might seem like an “alright” time, but when you consider the 2.5 ton weight, it is quite a significant spec. In conjunction, it isn’t the most economic car, a lot of fuel stops are in store along with trips to the company for service.

The Mercedes Benz GL 63 has quality interior and renders a comfortable feel. Yet again, nothing exclusive as such not what you would want after paying such a hefty price. The car is an all-rounder but fails to have a definite purpose. An adventurer requiring an off-roader would buy a range rover, a businessman who wants luxury would buy an S-class, a hipster who wants speed would buy a sport car. An idealist would buy this car, assuming it is an SUV that is comfortable while being ready for any situation that might have to be dealt with. This attitude of the car makes the car a choice of people who don’t know why they might need a car. The GL tries to do everything and ends up doing all-right, apart from comfort.

The Mercedes Benz GL 63 boasts an infinite count of driver assistance gizmos which makes the car redundant.  Clearly not what a petrol-head would want. So apart from being comfortable the car doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary. It is a car prepared to do anything, ready to face any peril it is confronted by. But it is not something a car enthusiast who has a purpose would buy.

I cherish a profound sentiment towards cars, bikes, speedboats, planes and almost all modes of transportation and writing about it is an avenue that helps me redeem myself.
