What is difference between GL and ML class of Mercedes-Benz?
Mercedes-Benz GL vs the Mercedes-Benz ML have no stark difference in them, because they are actually the same, or at least incredibly similar, vehicles.

Aside from some minor styling differences; the GL is a 7-seat SUV while the ML is a 5-seater.More specific differences:ExteriorWhile the M-Class only offered one traditional SUV body style, the GLE offers two, a regular SUV and a GLE Coupe, which touts a sweeping, coupe-like roofline. If you compare the standard GLE to the M-Class, you won't find many changes, though there are a few, like the revised front bumper, updated taillights and a few new wheel designs.InteriorOnce again, shoppers who compare the traditional M-Class to the GLE won't see too many interior changes, save for a revised infotainment screen (it's bigger now), some new materials, an updated steering wheel and a few other small revisions. Interior room is the same, as are the SUV's controls and switches, but compared to the M-Class and the standard GLE, the GLE Coupe makes a major change in terms of interior room.EngineThe M-Class is a powerful drivetrain boasting of 3.0 liter mill with 6 cylinders and is optimized by the renowned common rail technology.

Is it safe to drive a vehicle without power steering fluid?
No it’s not. While you CAN drive without it, the potential failure could result in stranding you on the side of the road. Anything built in the last 15 years most likely has a serpentine belt system that powers all your accessories.When you run out of power steering fluid, the bearings in your power steering pump no longer have lubrication available to keep them cool. Those bearings will fail, the pump will seize and that will result in your serpentine belt to fight against one accessory that is no longer moving. The belt will fly off the engine and all other accessories, water pump, A/C, alternator etc will be powerless and your vehicle will shortly cease to run from overheating or dead battery.
