You need a big garage and deep pockets to consider the GL, but you get a lot in return. Not just in terms of size, but the way all that interior space is used.
Testers commented on the quality and clear layout of the dash, but there were a couple of grumbles about it feeling like it belongs in a ‘mere’ executive car rather than a seven-seat limo. It’s easy to settle into, however, and there’s plenty of space in all three rows of seats – the GL could carry seven six-footers halfway across a continent without any of them feeling cramped.
It wouldn’t be able to do so with all their luggage, of course, but each of the third-row seats folds individually (at the touch of an electric button) so you can find your own balance here. The second row is a little disappointing, though, as the squabs tumble forward to let the backs fold down, robbing you of some floor length in the process.
