What Changed in 2007 for Mercedes-Benz
2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
All-new large SUV from Mercedes-Benz features a 4.6L V8, 7-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The GL-Class has 3 rows of seating and is capable of a class-V towing up to 7500 lbs.
2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
The CL 500 and CL 600 are replaced with the all-new CL 550 and CL 600 coupes. Both new versions have more power and luxury features than their well-equipped predecessors do. The V-8 powered CL 550 has an ample 382-bhp, while the V-12 CL 600 has an even more generous 510-bhp. Bold, aggressive styling visually separates the CL from other Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and resembles no current Mercedes-Benz.
2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
An all-new ninth-generation S-Class bows for 2007. The model range starts with the S550 which is powered a new 5.5L V-8 producing 382-bhp/391 lb.-ft. This new engine finally has DOHC 4-valve heads and variable valve timing, unlike the SOHC 3-valve head V-8 engine in the previous generation car. The V8 is mated to a 7-speed automatic. At the upper end, the S600 and S65 AMG models feature V12 power trains with 5-speed automatic transmissions. The new styling features more angular and taut surfaces than its predecessor does and the overall effect is vaguely reminiscent of the Maybach sedans. A redesigned interior now has increased shoulder and elbow room and a host of new electronic features.
