00:25 After more than a week of testing, Motor Trend judges voted the Mercedes-Benz GL,

00:31 the 2007 Motor Trend Sport Utility of the Year.

00:35 The Mercedes-Benz GL offers a unique combination of luxury car drivability,

00:41 performance and refinement, with sport utility, practicality and versatility.

00:47 It's roomy enough to carry seven adults in style, yet it doesn't drive like a truck on the road.

01:29 This vehicle has a very roomy cabin, but you get all the Mercedes-Benz luxury and refinement you'd expect.

01:36 Air suspension, a well-equipped interior with satellite navigation, and you get terrific technology too.

01:43 Mercedes-Benz will soon bring to market one of the first diesel engines available in North America in this vehicle,

01:50 much more fuel efficient than a gas engine. I predict that the diesel engine in the Mercedes-Benz GL

01:55 will be a surprise hit in the United States, particularly if gas prices stay high,

02:00 because it offers the opportunity for consumers to have their sport utility vehicle take and eat it too.

02:27 This sport utility vehicle drives a lot like a luxury car, it has car-like levels of performance, handling and ride,

02:34 yet it offers the practicality and versatility you'd expect in a sport utility vehicle.

02:40 You can take it off-road, you can take it on-road, you can carry seven people in comfort.

02:46 It's a true all-rounder, and that's why we voted it, Motor Trend's 2007 Sport Utility of the Year.
