"You guys must be a bit crazy to do something like this" - that was current Formula One champion and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton's, first reaction as I explained the GLAadventure.
In less than two weeks after we, ever-so-enthusiastically, started the GLAadventure, the team has already clocked good figures - six international borders crossing Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria and Italy.
You know how you think you know it all, and not in an egotistical way either - and yet you don't? That's how we all felt - maybe more so in a combined sense - when we descended on a workshop to take us through the vehicles that will be our companions through the GLA Adventure.
The new GL slightly larger in dimensions, is accompanied by features like electric power steering, crosswind assist, ESP, hill descent function as well as Mercedes patent COMAND system. It turns out to be a smooth drive under the 2987cc V6 diesel engine gurgling 258bhp and attached to a seven-speed automatic transmission. It is priced at Rs 77.9 lakhs.
Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Ex-Showroom price ranges from ₹ 81.12 Lakh to 2.09 Crore. Mercedes-Benz offers GL-Class in 3 variants. The top variant of GL-Class is 63 AMG and the base variant is 500.
