2008-2010 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Diesel
Mid-size Luxury SUV
This generation of the M-Class offers luxury with extra ability thanks to its diesel motor. This is one of the most efficient engines in the class, and an update for the 2009 model year improved the fuel economy even further. All GL diesels on the pre-owned market will come standard with seating for five and all-wheel drive as well as high levels of luxury expected from a Mercedes-Benz. When it was new, Consumer Reports recommended this SUV.
