GL550: difference between 2014 - 2016

Hello,

For GL550, can anyone tell the difference between 2014 and 2015, 2015 and 2016?

Thanks!

Richardander,

I see you're new here. Are you new to automotive forums as well? Did you try searching the Google machine for the answers, or did you attempt to search the forum yet? The reason I ask is because this question has been answered a multitude of times, and rehashing old topics tends to put people off. Sorry to come across as a bit brash, but I'm just saying what needs to be said so you can thrive here as an MB member. Cheers!

Here is a link to the response in your other post where I answered your question: Is 2014 GL550 X-164 or X-166? Scroll down to my response and click the linked text. It takes you to a PDF file that goes over the specs of the GL sub models. I know the link says MY2013, but it applies to the MY13 to MY16 GL in the U.S.

Hi Jason,

I did search the web and forum around before posting the question. The PDF in your previous post is very good in explaining the differences among different models, GL350/450/550/AMG.
My question is, for GL550 specifically, if there is any difference among those made in year 2014,15,16.

Richard

2013 to 2016 GL550's are all the same. But in 2013, heated/cooled cupholders were not an available. Option packages were the same every year. Then they were face-lifted in 2017 and re-badged as a GLS550.

For 15 and 16, no panaroof for 3rd row. Also, no indash CD/DVD changer.
