See How A Brand New Mercedes SUV Fared On Some Of The Roughest Roads In Queens

Last week, Mercedes-Benz was kind enough to lend us a brand new GL550 – a luxury SUV that's capable of a lot off road.

Even when on rough surfaces and going through potholes, the ride was remarkably smooth — the sign of a truly luxurious vehicle, and a good way to justify the $108,830 price tag.

Take a look at the Mercedes GL550 in some urban off-roading action:
