What kind of system does the Mercedes gl320 CDI have?

What’s the price of a 2008 Mercedes gl320?
A favorite of ours in this category is the Mercedes GL, so when a diesel V-6 was added to the lineup with the 2008 models, we decided to see how it would work in the U.S. The GL320 CDI, as the diesel is designated, was the least expensive model in the GL line, with a base price of $53,775 when it was delivered in August 2007.
What kind of engine does a Mercedes gl320 have?
The characteristic diesel rattle and smoky exhaust are minimal in the GL. At startup in the morning—which never required a long glow-plug wait—we noticed that the oil-burning V-6 is a little louder than a gasoline engine, especially if you’re in an enclosed garage. But once under way, the rattle quickly fades.
How much does a Mercedes Benz GL cost?
The GL also went through $1084 of tires and wipers in its 40,000 miles, whereas the Cadillac went the distance on the originals. On the other hand, the Mercedes burned 1818 gallons of diesel fuel at a cost of $7218, while the Escalade, at today’s prices, would have set us back more than $14,000 for gasoline.
