DaimlerChrysler offers a series of sport utility vehicles to the public under the Mercedes-Benz brand as GL-Class. The 2007 GL-Class will debut at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. It lacks the boxy styling and body-on-frame construction of the G-Class in favor of a modified version of the M-Class' unibody architecture. It will be a 7-passenger (3-row) SUV with much more luxurious equipment than even the previous civilian G-Class vehicles. All future GL-Class vehicles will be assembled at DaimlerChrysler's Alabama factory.
The first official photos of the vehicle have been released by Mercedes in November 2005. They bear the logo GL 320 at the rear, leading to the speculation that it will indeed be the GL-Class, and confirming that the current G-Class could coexist with the new model for some time.
