GLS for me. I like the fact it's not too blingy or shouty. The grill is more proportionate for it's size compared to the BMW and the MB UX system is brilliant for both response, ease of use and design. The fact the GLS 450 can be spec'd with regular artico leather which is more durable is a plus.

[@LiveHappy321]

We saw the GLS come out and were disappointed that it didn’t have the same grille that the GLE does. The exterior is very conservative but I personally like the interior more than that of the x7. The x7 however has a better 3rd row and with us having 3 children family, the third row is important to us. We are opting for the x7 and will likely ordering the M50i in black sapphire with tartufo extended merino leather - does anyone know how I can order wheels in black? It doesn’t show that option on the bmw website

[@ryanfierro4897]

Merc interior definitely looks cooler with the wide double touchscreen and the 4 air vents, but the X7’s usability is far better as it has more useful buttons and overall an easier use from what I can tell.

[@timosaarelainen8431]

I realize you didn't have an option to drive the GLS 550 or the AMG version, but that would have been a better comparison. The 450 is going to be much slower, of course, and thus taint the comparison. Regardless, apples to apples, as long the BMW is under warranty, I think that's the better choice. If you plan on owning either one for more than three years, MB wins hands down, because they hold up much better long term. I've owned the X5 and GL 450. Cost of ownership on MB is much lower long term. BTW, I considered X7, GLS 550 and bought a Navigator - because it's bigger and an awesome SUV for a tall person (6'6").

Timo - in the same boat, looking for a large SUV. How's the ride b/w gls and Navigator (I rented an Escalade and it didn't have a great ride - rode just like a truck)?

Hello dear I have question regarding GL 2012 tiers size 295/40/21 , what is the problem if change it with 295/35/21 what will different in the car

Thanks guys for a great review. Three points which are important that I think should have been discussed. Quality of interior. The Mercedes has a much cheaper plastic grade on its interior compared to the BMW. Other reviews have mentioned this and just seeing the gls on display at the LA motor show you could see how much it had already shown up scratches and marks. Secondly, the air vents on the Mercedes front dash are fake (only for aesthetics) and a recent review on the net said the Mercedes cooling was poor in the hot environment being tested. Thirdly, I personally found the side bolsters very intrusive on the GLS. I am 180cm and 90kgs. Interested to see what others thought

Awesome video. Idk why u wouldn't have compared both with either both v6 or both v8.. also, cant wait for the new escalde to compare these 2 with also.
