Oct. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- San Antonio, Oct. 23nd, 2012—The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL Class is celebrating a big win.  The new 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL is the best SUV on the market today and the winner of Motor Trend’s “SUV of the Year”.  Mercedes-Benz has a history of making excellent vehicles and in this case it has made the best SUV with its 2013 GL Mercedes-Benz in San Antonio.

The evaluation that Motor Trend gives to find the best SUV includes eleven vehicles that are judged on six different criteria—Performance of intended function, value, safety, engineering excellence, design advancement and efficiency.  The Mercedes-Benz GL  impressively nailed all six categories and the outcome is deservedly so, “SUV of the Year”.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL in San Antonio has four engine options ranging from 240 horsepower to 550 hp.  A new safety system in the GL called Collision Prevention Assist uses radar sensors to detect objects in front of the car.  When the risk of an imminent collision arises the Mercedes GL charges the brakes and alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert system.

The Mercedes-Benz GL comes with electrically assisted rack-and-pinion steering and uses only electrical power to be turned.  This new steering enables optional Active Parking Assist that makes parallel parking your Mercedes-Benz GL in San Antonio stress-free and easy. Another incredible feature that the Mercedes-Benz GL offers is Attention Assist which alerts the driver to when they are too tired to drive.  A steering sensor reacts to erratic steering corrections the driver makes as they get tired and triggers an audible warning to the driver.  An upgraded seven-speed automatic transmission provides better fuel economy in the Mercedes GL Class.  

All of the new and upgraded safety features in the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL have solidified it as the winner of Motor Trends prestigious award.
