2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 Review | A three-ton luxury bus!

[@papagen00]

Yes the next GLS owner will pay for the $5000 new air suspension, after the first owner has lost $50,000 in depreciation.

I really like this vehicle in Night Package. Is it based on body on frame.

[@NileshR12]

They finally give you the option to get body color wheel arches on the 450

[@jimj2683]

They could really improve the design of this with a few smaller changes. Especially to the rear end.

Nice review. For me the GLS 400d. Greetings from Spain.

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 looks great inside & out ! Likely would choose a BMW X7 over this Benz ... Slainte' ! Cheers !

[@jimj2683]

The x7 sits too low. Feels like a minivan.

"I wish the new GLS had the look and feel inside of the new S class." THANK YOU!! This is the part that baffles me with the GLS- why is there such a gap in interior quality between the S class & GLS? Why can't I get the same premium seats & finishes that are found in the S class, in the GLS? Whereas the x7 & 7 series are on par, if not nearly the same. Huge mistake by Mercedes, and probably a reason why I see so many more X7's than GLS's in southern california. The X7 drives better, has a nicer interior, and doesn't have such a bland exterior- strip away the mercedes badge and it could be mistaken for a Chevy or Buick. I love the size & practicality of the GLS, but hopefully Merc makes some key mid-cycle refreshes (at least on the interior), especially since the new 7 seat Range Rover has potential to steal buyers. Of the full-size SUVs, the new RR is my favorite- beautiful exterior, interior, seats 7 with potential for adults in the 3rd row, 2nd row hinges forward and is car seat compatible, plus the rear-wheel steering to improve handling. Aside from build quality perceptions, there's not much to dislike

[@PrayerNightSeries]

Well yeah they is not much to dislike.

I've been trying to configure one with E-Active suspension, but the option is no longer there. Is it the chip shortage excuse? Also, why can't I configure AMG line without having to choose the generic and dumb black interior? I want brown, and AMG package. Weird. I'm torn between this, the GLE, SQ8, or Cayenne S. I've been a VAG customer my entire life, but dealers are ripping people off so might look elsewhere such as Mercedes.

My 2019 X5 Executive heats and cools seats a massages all at the same time.

[@behnamtavakolzadeh3502]

switched after 8 years of driving bmw (had x5 and 3 series ) to mercedes. telling you MB is diffrent ball game, you feel technology and comfort in one place.

[@FAITHANDLOVE1111]

Yea I feel like they get lazy 😢with their SUVs it sucks but the G class is my Dream truck

[@MaureenPD]

brilliant info, until you get a POS from the "others"

[@blaiseducdaumont1280]

Unfortunately, MB ruined it with their electric, numb feeling steering.

[@telliesmith9825]

It's not that big dude It's small when parked beside one of the truck base suvs and yes the style is forgettable it looks like all the other Benz suvs

[@AB-jz9ns]

It's not that enormous, it's just that this guy is short.

[@alwaysbrown75]

You take a G wagon over this what 🤣

[@swanblake]

Interior is lacking and looks cheap

[@Meaderelle]

This is a joke compared to a Expedition Limited Max. And they cost $20k less. No automatic running boards, significantly less space, underpowered. To think I even considered this Mercedes trim for my wine tours.

[@blaiseducdaumont1280]

But the Expedition Limited is not classified as a luxury vehicle. Different demographic.

[@elvismegabrain752]

so you think expedition limited is better than this because it has automatic running boards and big space?

[@gg8723]

it looks poor. might as well buy the palisade

[@__NoName__1]

Maybe you’re just too short
