The Mercedes GL-Class, which has a Trailer Stability Assist to help when carrying trailers, has finished second in Planet 4×4 magazine’s list of the most practical 4×4s.

In total, 38 vehicles were put through a series of assessments before judgments were made. Planet 4×4 suggests that it was the most in-depth practical test Britain has seen.

Features analysed by the Planet 4×4 team awarded marks for a number of things, including rear legroom, flat-folding seats and dual gloveboxes, as well as curry hooks and 12-volt sockets.

Commenting on the results, Planet 4×4 Editor Alan Kidd said that the test was "one of the most relevant to what buyers want their vehicles for".

He added that "practicality matters in this market - arguably more than anything else" and commented on the "superbly packaged 4×4s" that are currently on the market.

With seats for seven people, the Mercedes GL-Class is an off-roader that comes with either a V6 or V8 engine.
