Great review!

Is the technology new software upgrade compatible with my 2021 gls 450? Can we get the new gadgets & themed into it

[@harooahmed]

does the GLS450 come with HUD standard ?

[@FoxFox0077]

I wish that MB could deliver GLS with only 2 rows😄. At least for an outdoor enthusiast like me, kids moved out, there is no need for third row seats. Is there perhaps a retrofit for tearing out the seats and improve cargoholding😎

[@gauravsmadhat4098]

I’m really disappointed with Mercedes, as they just freakin removed the massaging seats option in the GLS !!!

[@smortly]

Exactly

[@wangjun1972]

I think you need more study on X7. Lots of what you said is misleading to people.

[@dwnshft]

Nah lots of what I said was objective fact

[@wangjun1972]

For example X7 did have heated/cooled cup holders. Actually it has individual setting for each cup holder unlike GLS

[@veliksami]

Never, ever buy a brand new Mercedes. Just wait 3-4 years after a new model is released and buy it 50% off MSRP.
