Mercedes-Benz GL-Class data analysis

How Mercedes-Benz GL-Class overall length varies

Across 4 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, overall length runs from 202 inches to 202 inches. The strongest figure belongs to the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (GL CLASS GL 63 AMG 4DR SUV AWD) at 202 inches, and the weakest to the 2016 car (GL CLASS GL350 BLUETEC/GL450/GL550 4MATIC 4DR SUV) at 202 inches — a spread of 0%. The narrow spread means any year of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.

What changed for 2016

Average overall length for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is 202 inches, against 202 inches for the 2015 car — it fell by 0.2 inches. Buyers who care most about this figure should look at the earlier model years in the table above before assuming newest is best.

How to read this Mercedes-Benz GL-Class data

This page lists every 2015 through 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class record we hold for this measurement — 4 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Mercedes-Benz GL-Class figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Mercedes-Benz GL-Class record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

Will the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class fit your garage and parking space?

Measured against a standard single garage door (8 ft wide, 7 ft tall, 20 ft deep stall) and a standard US surface parking space (9 ft x 18 ft). Measure your own opening before buying — older garages are frequently narrower.

Garage door width

Fits

76 in wide (body only, mirrors folded) — about 20 in of total clearance, so roughly 10 in per side.

Garage door height

Clears

72.4 in tall — 11.6 in of headroom before roof rails, antennas, or a roof box are added.

Parking space

Fits a standard stall

202.4 in long leaves 13.6 in to spare in an 18 ft space, and 32 in of side clearance in a 9 ft one.

Size drift: the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class is 1 in shorter than the 2015 car in our records. If you are replacing an older example with a newer one, check the garage clearance again rather than assuming the outgoing car's footprint carries over.

Its wheelbase (121.3 in) accounts for about 60% of overall length. A higher share generally means shorter overhangs — better approach and departure clearance on driveways and ramps, and more cabin space for the same parking footprint.
