We recently spent some quality time with the Mercedes-Benz GL550, the top of the line SUV that starts at $86,900.
After some city driving, we took our $108,830 version of Motor Trend's 2013 SUV of the Year on a road trip from New York to Washington, D.C.
In most cars, the five and a half hour drive would have been a pain. But it gave us the time to fully appreciate the many features that make the GL550 a true luxury car.
Go straight to our full review, or take a look at what makes the SUV special.
Up close, the GL550 is imposing.
It's not the sleekest car — but the interior is much more impressive.
Acceleration is great, thanks to the 4.6-liter V8 biturbo engine, which produces 429 horsepower and 516 pound feet of torque.
