How family friendly is the 2024 Mercedes Benz GLS 580?

[@TZR95035]

At 2:50 escalade it is. ✌️

[@jilliandidonato4562]

Can you please review the GLE?

[@adamgreiner1901]

It is nice. If I’m gonna spend over $100k, it would be a motor home.

[@juansteward4772]

❤ the introduction she's given is so awesome😂😂❤

[@whatdoufeel]

Working hard for your family. Great review.

[@JoeMatthews-w5e]

Last year we test drove the bmw and Mercedes back to back. The bmw was a 2021 x7 40i with 20k miles. The Mercedes was a 2020 GLS 450 With 26k. The Mercedes was hands down quieter and rode better. The seat massagers are also better. We have a BMW 750 also. The service is 1/3 the cost of the Mercedes. Same BO service this year. But the BMW extended warranty for the 7 series for 2 years was 6800 Versus the Mercedes 4 year costing 3700. We ended up with a GLS 580 that had 11k on it.

The moms and the cup holder facination crack me up. As a father of 3 I love the channel. I will never understand the water bottle and snack wars with moms. 😂

[@gibreezy]

I just had one of these for a month, the 2023 one. Looked exactly the same except for the front trim. They didn’t change anything. Did they at least add wireless CarPlay??

[@Ryan2022]

Probably added 10k to the price

[@MichaelPrentice]

Yes.

[@MichaelPrentice]

There is a highway driving sound assist where the front seat voices are amplified in rear seats. So you don't have to scream for the third row to hear you. I belive it works from the back to the front too.

[@tylerbee1446]

Fininally my favorite car of all time. Love Love Love.

[@michaelcampbell1911]

Would love to see how you worked with the captains chair set up

[@mattmullin33609]

That 3rd row has as much leg room as the back seats in my 911 😂 The GLS is a 2 seat row car with a big trunk. That’s the reality of it.

[@lauriechan2966]

I LOVEEEEE your dress!!!!! 😁😁😁😁

[@Car_conversati0nz]

My family is going to your auto show!!!!

[@sarahmendlovitz2931]

What is the self driving package called?

[@ptg01]

It's a gorgeous vehicle but the cost of ownership (e.g. depreciation, maintenance etc) is off the charts... Mercedes' reliability is also sub-par compared to what you pay.

[@megansarinana8640]

I have the 2020 GLE 450 with 3 rows and the inside is the exact same minus maybe a foot of depth in the trunk. We don’t use our 3rd row very often but a short adult can fit in it just fine, I’m 5’1”. If you need the 3rd row, I’d get an x7 for the leg room.

[@jilliandidonato4562]

Can it fit 2 car seats comfortably?

[@MichaelPrentice]

You can option a fifth climate zone for the third row. The third row seats are also heated and have cup holders and USB-C.

[@AriannaCastaneda-d3e]

The thing that’s annoying about the GLS is that you have to get the upgraded climate control package to get top vents and it’s really hard to find outside of the AMG line. I agree with another poster I like the X7 so much better.

[@MichaelPrentice]

There is a pass through capability with the center console of the bench. It can be handy to access cargo or the third row from the second row.

[@MSDOGS1976]

$123k? 😲I'm gonna get two. One for me and one for my dog.

[@saranrathakrish8468]

How does this compare to the Escalade or navigator

[@MichaelPrentice]

Smaller. Nicer. Second row ventilated seats, which those don't have.

[@spaztekwarrior]

The third row is pretty bad. I’d go with the Lexus TX. If you don’t need a third row, I’d go with the GLE :)

[@Kaymo10]

Really was considering this. Decided to go with the 2024 Lincoln Navigator black label. Rather top trim luxury than mid trim GLS. If money wasn’t a factor I’d get the AMG.

[@MichaelPrentice]

The car seat tilt works on both sides, unlike the x7 where it only works on the passenger side.

[@vastworldknowledge]

Can you do GLB and GLe

[@bri-pf4yt]

Definitely not worth the price lol

[@kevinc7756]

Also review a 3-row range rover!

[@nskbhatia1]

Range rovers are so unreliable.

[@ace9848]

​@@nskbhatia1 2022+ range rover are pretty reliable (they use the pre facelift x7 engine)

[@kherajinkya]

Hyundai palisade Calligraphy has all these features plus some more, for half the price. People are really burning for a substandard car if they are getting this.

[@JamieAnam]

I'm also thinking the same....the Telluride and Palisade top trim has enough to compete with these top euros when it comes to features for a lot less in cost and repair bills.

[@MichaelPrentice]

The automatic sun shades are an option. Your model just didn't select them.

[@Crusaderhun]

Sure, but should it be an option for the price?

[@MichaelPrentice]

@@Crusaderhun I imagine that there are people who don't want them or places where they are not that useful.

[@Crusaderhun]

@@MichaelPrentice Sure I agree, thats why all sun shades roll back into the door frame and become invisible. There really is no excuse.

[@EngineNo93]

If you aren’t watching The_Car_Mom’s videos on half-speed you’re truly missing out. 😂🥂🎉

[@ajpompe]

Really dislike the new grill on these. I feel like it was so much cuter before the mid cycle refresh

[@AMSudad]

This is mid size?

[@hotgrease]

I think if they got rid of the spare tire they could’ve pushed the third row back and had a deeper trunk. And who is changing their own tire in that car??

[@MichaelPrentice]

If you get the upgraded Burmeister sound, it uses that space and you don't get a spare. But you get some extra storage down there.

[@estebanrodriguez3385]

Why don’t drove the car?

[@MichaelPrentice]

Unfortunately, your mic was fading in and out during this video. It was always audible, but sometimes garbled.

[@MichaelPrentice]

The automatic seats work very reliably, unlike the Land Rovers.

[@raymondaparris5140]

Cargo capacity (87 cubic feet) is Not larger than the Lexus Tx (97 cubic feet).

[@nskbhatia1]

I wish the TX had massaging seats.

[@itsmejordy22]

Thank you for doing a luxury suv review! Can we get some Lexus reviews??

[@Ryan2022]

Lexus is barely luxury anymore

[@spankymcnugget3166]

come on mom, hope in the cockpit a lett'er rippp

[@tdub25]

Holy crap….The car mom is a doppelgänger of Caitlin Clark of the wnba

[@Annette_Hons]

its nice but Rivian R1S for the win! More spacious, More storage space, 7 passenger seating, actual usable third row seating with legroom for an adult. These other mid-side third row vehicles are great for those of you with kids with no legs, seriously, the third row is good for pretty much nothing, well maybe your dogs could sit back there. FYI, that is not Chocolate Leather in the Mercedes.... Its Bahia Brown. Most Mercedes don't even come with actual leather seats anymore its MB Tex material!

[@MichaelPrentice]

And MB Tex is vinyl that cracks over time.

[@kylekraemer1151]

Lease only

[@teriok6783]

Unfortunately,too much of the Chrysler minivan look for most.

[@benq585]

X7 is much better than gls at this time

[@whatdoufeel]

Had a 2022 X7, was in the shop for repairs too much.

[@teriok6783]

@@whatdoufeelyeah ok. I’ve had two of them dating back to 2019 and both would say you were extremely unlucky or you didn’t own one. 😂😂😂

[@Popor.]

Most of Mercedes are better than BMW, fortunately my family has owned both brands since 90s up to present.

[@teriok6783]

@@Popor. I have owned both brands since the 90s, I beg to differ.

[@Popor.]

Why most of Mercedes are better than BMW

[@SW-bj1so]

I'd take TX over this garbage.

[@MichaelPrentice]

The ride in the TX is quite inferior without air suspension. With E-ABC, the GLS is ultra smooth. The engine sound and performance for the GLS 580's v8 is also far better than anything the TX offers. The 360 camera system is far better than the limited camera system in the Lexus.

[@slpip4365]

Mercedes engineers are worse interior designers. They don't know how to design the dashboard, seats, and passenger space.

[@martinshelton1247]

This vehicle is copying the BMW X7. Old saying if you cannot beat them then, join them.

[@Psychiatricnerd]

I don’t care how filthy rich I am I will never buy a $123k car.
