Known previously as the GL-Class, for 2020 #MercedesBenz has completely redone the #GLSClass to fit its hierarchy in lineup as the S-Class of SUV's. When the GLS goes on sale late this year, it will start with the #GLS450 with a new inline 6-cylinder engine with their EQ Boost mild hybrid system. Buyers looking for more power can choose the #GLS580 with the world's first electrified V8 engine with up to 483 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come paired to a 9-speed transmission and #4Matic AWD is standard. While the newest version of the #MercedesBenzGLS may not look quite as in your face as some competitors, has the interior appointments and technology finally push the #GLS to be the S-Class of SUV's?

Happy Sunday everyone! Mercedes-Benz just announced pricing on the GLS 580 trim and it starts at $97,800 or about $2,000 more than the previous generation. We still don’t know the final pricing of the one from the video or the fuel economy information but once they announce that, we will be sure to update this. The Hyundai Palisade video will be posting at midnight so stay tuned for that video as well!

[@kurtmorris4706]

Thank you, waiting on that Palisade review !

[@victorgriffith8968]

Thank you I'll be waiting on that palisade review !!! Great video as always, question when would you be doing the 2020 VW Touareg video ? And when I mean Touareg I mean the TDI V8 R-Line 😎

[@BeesonsCars]

I’m really impressed with the GLS now. It was very lack luster in the previous generation (imo) but now it’s by far one of the best in its class.

[@ryanhuff7365]

It’s been pretty awesome watching you grow over the years man! Keep moving forward! You do great work!

[@Wised1000]

Just ordered one to replace our present GLS 550. 22in rims and E active body control! Now the waiting game starts :) For me the new interior, the up to date MUBX system and the much more accommodating middle row with seats that move fore and aft were the deciding factors. These changes have added a significantly higher level of passenger utility over the previous version. The interior styling is also much better looking and finally up to other new MB models. The Mbux technology is also much more organic compared to the 550 where a lot seemed to be tacked on (which it was!). The E active control (curve mode) also provides significantly superior handling without having to make the ride overly harsh as is true of the 550 on sport mode. Power seems almost identical to me which translate in 0-60 in the high 4's which for this type of vehicle is very, very, very fast! Overall, this new model has addressed the shortcomings of the the 550 and expanded its virtues more than enough to convince me to trade our 550 with 45K miles.

[@Wised1000]

Finally got mine after waiting since July. Emerald green, E active suspension, 22in rims and high performance Contis. WELL WORTH THE WAIT! I was replacing a 2018 GLS 550. The 580 is a better vehicle in all parameters, when equipped with the active suspension and performance rubber the handling is spectacular, not for an SUV, for any car! The suspension, when shod with appropriate rubber, gives this 3 ton monster ninja reflexes while maintaining one of the best ride qualities in the market. The suspension seems discombobulation proof in any mode. Even in comfort mode its unflappable, on sport plus, reflexes are sports sedan worthy, no hyperbole intended. The powertrain is also beyond reproach, there is no flatfooting anywhere in the power powerband, anytime you floor the pedal the E assist ensure that more than 600ft/lbs of torque are available for amazing acceleration. Not jerky and chassis upsetting mind you, just a reassuringly powerful negative G's while the speedometer moves with ridiculous rapidity. I can't fathom what the 63 is like since this one is already ridiculously powered. The fit and finish on the vehicle are worthy of the price. The paint has a deep luster and the light angle changing color of the emerald green is amazing, its almost black at some angles in the shade. The interior tech and design is in another planet compared to the 550. The question presented was the perennial is it the S class of SUV''s, no its not, its in fact not only more expensive than a six cylinder or an entry level 8cyl S class its in fact better too. Until the S class gets its version of the assisted V8 and the E active suspension, it will play second fiddle to the GLS 580. Its that good.

[@chrisgnay4973]

I work at a carwash and we always have this issue with a lot of new cars, glad they’re now adding a carwash setting, now people can wash their brand new cars without all the sensors panicking.

[@VaunShiz]

Mercedes just kills it with interior, they actually look their price tag

[@Mr2pint]

Way too much hard touch Plastics it looks cheap. I know Mercedes can do Interiors very well but not this.

[@agreatd]

As long as you don't touch anything, sure. It looks fancy, but Audi and BMW beats merc in interior materials and build quality and there are no plastic creaks when you drive over bumps. Even s class just rattles and dealer told me it's normal. Every carwow reviews on multiple mercs also said same thing, it's nasty and not on pair with other Germans

[@tmanepic]

@@agreatd this is also the case in my experience (new C300). Best in class looking interior, but full of rattles (unacceptable for any new car, let alone a luxury car) and not always the best quality to the touch.

[@ajlee6933]

Mr2pint, exactly. A lot of people just see videos and pics and think that Mercedes is the best. However in person you’ll notice that BMW actually uses the best materials overall.

[@esteban75lover23]

the gle/gls interior does not feel the price tag

Greetings and Blessings Sofyan, May all be wonderfully well with you and I always enjoy your informative videos. The “Rap People” comment may have been a bit unnecessary because people of “All” walks of Life sometimes enjoy Sporty /Expressive Rims on their Automobiles ,as well.

I heard that the GLS will have a Maybach version as well. That'll be interesting.

[@fakedazzleful]

They already have a Maybach G Wagon. I think that have more potential to sell more than the SUV

[@terrellpresident1106]

Yea they do it won’t be out until 2020 tho

Maybach version? Hell, this thing has an E class interior. Just getting it to S class would be a win.

[@rushildesai1]

The GL class cars last so long, my dad still has his 2009 gl

[@conduit242]

As a GL owner, no thanks. If I wanted a minivan with an E class interior, I’d buy one. It has lost the square jaw and shoulders that made it so attractive and definitely doesn’t have the special interior touches that define S-class caliber vehicles and prices.

[@alan-di5ww]

I saw a 580 the other day and it just looks so bad... the rear end especially

[@gaffle7646]

The circa 2014 GL's looked the best before they went full-fledged soccer mom.

"All you rappers out there with 22's on your navigator or escalade" lol

[@MrGreenelight]

The Mercedes is a feminine vehicle as indicated by its primary buyers.

[@MrGreenelight]

The Escalade has been the King of SUV bling, ( not a cross-over) for 20 years straight. From the celebrity red carpet to major political and sports high level events, It is the Caddy.

[@yanksfanatk-sw5466]

I have the 2020 GLE350 with AMG exterior appearance package & this new GLS is pretty much a stretched out version of the GLE. Although, the 3rd row seems a bit larger, but still it’s still the same exact configuration. Honestly, you’re better off saving a tremendous amount of money if you stick with the GLE & get the optional 3rd row for $2100 extra. Also, since is a bit shorter in length, it looks much more sportier too. This is my personal opinion.

[@agustinliden6189]

I love this car I need to buy one.

[@oririona5462]

This GLS is gorgeous I’ll take it all day over over the BMW X7 just like I’ll take an S class over a 7 series BMW I love those wheels and the tires

[@RichardsWorld]

I seen another video where they were off-roading the GLS450 and they got stuck in sand. They did that hopping thing and it help them get out.

[@avvonch8451]

I loved the Background in this video, more than the car ...

[@7477238]

Great review. Awesome scenery. I prefer MB vehicles but I think the X7 50i M Sport does it for me. Slightly more functional layout and it's better to seat 6 in comfort versus 7 and having to squish the 2 rear passengers together. I'm curious to see how well these mild hybrid systems hold up over time. Toyota does a good job with their full on hybrids so hopefully systems like these in the German brands follow suit.

[@Wised1000]

Ordered in July, still waiting though hopefully on its way since its done with the "production" phase and in "distribution" phase.

[@melodymckane4820]

[@ArnoldPranks]

Yes, hence the GL-"S" part

[@danielfeldman7913]

I have no issues with the design. This isn't the model that MB should take a chance on. It stays with the design language MB is going with now, and this fits well within the family. They will sell tons of these!

[@soloclickads8829]

I like what they call the diamond front pattern.

[@williammarcnguyen]

The exterior looks good to me but not good enough to be a S Class. Otherwise, the interior killed it.

I think I need an upgrade of my current GL 450 to this LOL. I am a busy mom with one kid and a big dog and need space to loading things all the time.

Please do a comparison video with this and the new X7 when you can

[@Em_Rey]

Yeah that be good but I think x7 wins

[@TheKillerace900]

And the navigator

[@nik7bkh965]

@Ib7 h The Mercedes is a bit more luxurious and has the better infotainment system. Also their damper system in their (not only off road) cars is one of the most comfortable ones on the market... I don't see the BMW having any chance against this s class SUV, unless you are talking about performance (laptimes, drag race etc) but these aspects aren't relevant in this type of car segment...

[@Endorion_YTC]

I'm sure the X7 clearly wins since it can't bounce. Haha!

[@kurakuson]

At 20:32 he said the GLS he had did not come with ventilated seats it only had heated rear seats. However he touched the the button front buttons they were blue and activated the seat ventilators then he pressed the button behind that have red lights that activate the seat warmers. So it seems the GLS he is testing does have heated and ventilated rear seats.
