A GL weighs 5,550lbs+
They used OM 616, 602 and 617 in these:


About same weight as a GL350?

With the 87 bhp OM617 non-turbo, it could do 79mph and 0-100kph in 27sec! The most recent G400 provided 326 BHP out of same displacement engine and could do 0-100kph in 6.4 sec! Some of them had Bluetec engines, which I think was a big mistake for a vehicle that needed to be 100% reliable.
