2013 GL350 amg vs non
Hey everyone, new to the group, and learning as much as i can about these vehicles.
Can any one tell me, what is the difference between the AMG vs non AMG version of the gl350 (2013/14)
I know the rims and front bumper are different, but is there anything else significant?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

I do not think that US X166 GL 350/450 were available (even as an option) with "AMG" exterior bumpers of US X166 GL 550/63.

Correct.

However, the US was not the only market for the X166.

The AMG package on the GL350 was apparently common in Canada, for example.

Yes, the AMG "appearance" package was available for Canada, but I have really no idea what the subtle or big differences are, if really any?

No such animal as a GL350 AMG. It is just an AMG appearance package.

Nothing more apart from what you said, my UK 2015 GL350 has the 21" AMG rims and trim and that's about it, and it looks the dogs Bs
