This is the best car i ever had 2013 GL,downside is shocks are almost 2000$ a piece,coolant pipes can brake 1500$ to replace all 5,good thing is its so comfy and easy to drive that you dont feel your money is wasted

After one month without internet connection,I have a lot of work (35 enjoyable videos from you!) :-D

[@autogefuehl]

Oh wow u got a lot of catching up to do :)

[@RorySeanWainer]

I recently had a GL350 and put over 100,000Ks on it over four years. It was very comfortable, reliable and economical (particularly on freeways). Also, in spite of its size, very easy to drive in cities thanks to good visibility, the relatively small turning circle and great camera system.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for the feedback!

[@mistertee5000]

Mercedes always look so luxurious with the cream coloured interior.

[@autogefuehl]

as I mentioned you can also get the beige colour in the MBTex/Artico leatherette!

[@nosek666]

What a great review. I thought at first why this is over 40min long ?But now I watched it I understand and I'm happy it took that long.It was my dream to buy it as I have 3kids and driving an E class w212 at the moment and I'm running out of space as kids growing up. Was thinking this or Viano/Vclass now I'm certain to go for Viano/Vclass. There is no boot space in GLS once the 3rd row of seats is up.I carry 2bicycles almost all the time with me( my littlest boy is only 1y old so not riding yet). Thanks again for great review,will subscribe hoping for more reviews in this style.

[@autogefuehl]

Welcome !!

[@maximkanovikov9016]

One of my favorite proper SUVs currently on the market. I am in love with your German accent! I feel the need to open a Milka bar. Thanks for this review. From The United States of America.

[@kevinn1158]

Thomas puts his body into harms way to demonstrate the tailgate safety features!! Great review but this vehicle is basically a school bus that should only come in school bus yellow....

[@autogefuehl]

all 4 u !

[@medved4030]

Autofefuhl, would the Range Rover be a competitor to the GLS? Since both are similar size and have air suspension how do they compare in terms of comfort level and reliability. I have heard various opinions about the reliability of Land Rover vehicles. What are your thoughts?

[@autogefuehl]

Sure u could say so. There are different reliability ratings but its always hard who to trust

[@neverobey1477]

GREATEST MERC EVER IS THE 1992 1998 W140 S500! everything after that is OK!

[@Airborne-tb9hz]

You are a wonderful lady for shearing all of the information on the 400 and 450

[@muhlurievander6384]

positive review thumbs up

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep joining us!

[@e.simons6964]

I got inside a GLS with the "cloth" seating and found the platform quite acceptable and prefer it for the comfort and feeling after driving it! The brown interior seating is perfect for me!

[@autogefuehl]

Nice! You mean the brown Artico/MB Tex?

[@e.simons6964]

Exactly what I mean't to say! Thank you

[@user-ln8rr3dl1p]

That mercedes badge is bigger than your head lol!

[@autogefuehl]

hah =)

[@Q3Cyrus]

Fantastic and comprehensive review as always Thomas. Really enjoy your objective and considerate approach to the reviews without sounding too opinionated. It's all very matter of fact presenting the viewer with food for thought. Thanks!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep tuning in!

[@riazraihan9006]

An excellent review of an outstanding SUV. I enjoyed the easy pace of the review, and the general positive attitude he exudes. Brings out all the great features of this vehicle. I will buy it when it comes to North America.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep following us!

[@mullerissa7752]

the quality of your video it's amazing

[@autogefuehl]

thanks spread the word for us!

[@aryapradhanad186]

I was going to ask Autogefuehl to review the GLS but I forgot then the next day when I open KZbin it's​already there! Now I have a request, can you compare this with the Q7? Cheers!

[@autogefuehl]

=) See our Q7 reviews here: kzbin.info?search_query=audi+q7+autogefuehl

[@aryapradhanad186]

***** what is your opinion about the Q7 design compared to this GLS?

[@autogefuehl]

RB26DETT I like the benz styling more however the q7 looks smaller

[@aryapradhanad186]

***** I'm considering XC90 too, XC90 has great exterior, interior and safety too but I don't know the off road performance of the XC90, I'm trying to find videos about it

[@Accurize2]

21:44 the cover is for covering up valuables that you want to leave in the vehicle. So at least they aren’t in plain sight of any thieves walking past.

[@lorandlayton1756]

Thank you Thomas Gosh that's a large car.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@kevinot99]

Im loving yr collar flicked up black coat today Thomas

[@autogefuehl]

=)

[@Accurize2]

kevin to Got that vampire look going on...the accent helps a little too.

[@nanlin3258]

how does the ride and comfort compare to that of the Q7?

[@autogefuehl]

This one clearly leads the riding comfort. The Q7 is sportier on the other hand See details here: kzbin.info?search_query=audi+q7+autogefuehl

[@abaumc3661]

This is bigger than the Cadillac Escalade?

[@autogefuehl]

nah they should come close, the base model length of the Escalade at least is same length

[@lorandlayton1756]

Thomas This GLS , Or the Cayenne ? pleas . Thank you

[@autogefuehl]

Best is to compare our reviews of the Cayenne by using KZbin search Autogefuehl Cayenne

[@lorandlayton1756]

Thank you. Job well don. I do enjoy your videos. I think I will choose the cayenne .

[@The_Daliban]

Sehr gut dass du die Tierhaut erwähnt hast!!Review war auch Top! Ich finds gut dass ihr auch bezahlbare Versionen testet die Sinn machen👍🏻

[@autogefuehl]

Vielen dank empfehl uns gerne weiter :)

[@miraamshah]

Too bad they did not update the cockpit to MB new style

[@hxkdneuxbxjdidndnxj]

what about the Range Rover? Could it be considered a competitor?

[@autogefuehl]

Kind of. More to GLE. Maybe Range Rover Long wheel base if available in ur market

[@hxkdneuxbxjdidndnxj]

Autogefühl that’s an interesting view point. I always considered them to be in the same niche because of the exterior size and price similarity.

[@autogefuehl]

5 seater vs 7 seater

[@robwoods5434]

Great reviews - always the right amount of detail to really get to know a vehicle! Personally, I'm eager for the next generation of these Mercedes SUV's to inherit the interior technology that was just seen in the E-class.

[@autogefuehl]

great to have u with us!

[@Accurize2]

Rob Woods Like pink noise hearing protection! I mean...wow.

[@dealzguyYT]

That second row folding is messy and super complicated.... why not just a slide rail...?

[@TheKacper2001]

In future can we expect review of new Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator?

[@autogefuehl]

Cant get them here :/

[@TheKacper2001]

I know that, however is still usa... I can not wait for film about facelifted S class... My regards

[@gregorytrane7828]

I have a solution for those stitches on the seat that become uncomfotable on long rides. You can put a thin blanket or soft mat on the seat. That should take care of the problem. Good review.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks!

[@therealinterlaced]

My father owns one and it's a GLS450, it's sad that they don't offer a sport package look for the US, but only for Canada. However, it's one awesome beast.

When the full review of the 2017 seat ibiza ?

[@autogefuehl]

Coming up, just finished editing :) Thinking about airing it Monday evening

[@michaldzwonnik7006]

Thank you for the answer.

[@et2850]

Very honest review, thank you. Downsized from an Armada to a GL450. Not as spacious, but a very comfortable ride. Also takes off like a sports car.

[@alfredoalfaro5000]

Was the change worth it?

[@alinutz4uu]

I have the GL500 because I have three small kids. It's very relaxing to drive in vacation, you have more than enough space and the comfort is exquisite. The S class of the SUV for sur. This vehicle is not very common in France where I live, and often the people ask me what's is. Unfortunately if have a problem with it, I have vibrations at low revs and the garage doesn't seems to find what cases this.

[@S7StudioElfPaladin]

Seems like the perfect bad ass family SUV. Loads of luxury, overkill power and good looks. An AMG equivalent is definitely on my list if i ever win the lottery haha! Thanks for the wonderful review Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep following us!

[@TheKingkingg]

Great review, great SUV, I'm a fan of your reviews... But what did you mean by running board looks Hood?

[@autogefuehl]

+TheKingkingg thanks! The side boards maybe?

[@kl7120]

I just check the GLS 450 here is US and it has a different look. the one you are testing in this video is the GLS 550 here with this look.

[@MasterBoxingLLC]

This vehicle is amazing. Would’ve loved for you to show the voice command. Maybe next one👍🏽Thanks for your efforts

[@MaZEEZaM]

I really don’t like the massive merc emblem on the front of the car nor the bulky dash screen, the modern inbuilt screen are much nicer.

[@3737rob]

what year is this MB?

[@andrewmarsden1970]

Great review. I agree with others. Audi Q7 would be my choice but the GLS will smash it in the US.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks andrew!

[@raphaelreiter]

Very nice review Thomas ! Whaaaaaaat ?? Car looks nice, a bit clumsy square and gigantic. I might prefer the lines of the Q7 or even better sq7. What's your favorite interior ?

[@autogefuehl]

=) I'd love the beige Artico / MBTex (so bright colour as seen here but with the sustainable material and without the uncomfortable quilting, check GLS 400 / 450 in the configurator with beige Artico!)

[@PaulB__]

Wow, let's go and check it! Great program for Saturday evening!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks spread the word for us!

[@cristian8471]

Great presentations Thomas!!! But if you do the presentation in English, please kindly change the display language in English.

[@autogefuehl]

+Cristian ION Cristian thanks! Often it doesn't change too much in the descriptions:)

[@cristian8471]

yeah but you're dvoing a great job with the details and to change in the car's settings the computer language from German to English it would make your videos perfect

[@musabomariyeh128]

Hello, is it a 2WD, or 4WD or i can switch between them, and how is is compared to the toyota prado or land cruiser

[@autogefuehl]

only 4WD

[@traduly1997]

everywhere is mercedes benz, bmw in all countries, europe asia & america,africa not just germania

[@anelinaperic8085]

Ok is ok🙂😐😐🙄😮🤐

[@orlando124431]

Great car...but a little expensive considering it's starting to look dated! Great quality but no auto dimming wing/rear view mirror....you can get that on a Toyota Carola. Until the redesign it is behind the XC90 in terms of quality and comfort, in my view.

[@pnwautocar5291]

We (my family and I) have a 2016 GL350 Bluetec. We love it! However, our lease is up soon and we are looking to replace it. The sad thing is, we don't get the 300/350d in the USA, and with such a big vehicle, the gas consumption is quite large. We would love a new GLS, but the gas consumption as well as price are a little too much. What are some good GLS alternatives? We love the Benzes as much as the next person, but in the real world, we can't all be driving Mercs.

[@marilouchan4500]

My dream car, it is really a monster. I love it!

[@aspietoo]

A precise review of a precise vehicle. Nice to see one in Germany. Agree you wouldn't want to try and park it in Marbella Spain or other large cities. Comfort is the key principle and MB have done studies on pulse rates in drivers that are lower in the Mercedes due to quiet comfort - a key concept.

[@autogefuehl]

+aspietoo 🙏🙏

[@JULIAN71102]

Review the new civic type R please

[@autogefuehl]

+Julian J new civic feature this month!

[@kuddin9021]

Thomas, how many more years will the GLS and GLE keep the horribly dated dashboard design and buttons? Will we need to wait another 10 years before they adapt to the current Mercedes design cues? (Which will be dated again in 10 years time 😂).

[@kuddin9021]

UzzyFuzzyy yeah i like it too but I wouldn't part with £70k+ for a car with an A Class dashboard with phone number buttons from 2005

[@maxm655]

Great review as always, Thomas. When can we expect your review of the Volvo XC60? Really looking forward to that one.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks! No schedule yet but we ll keep u posted ASAP

[@autogefuehl]

See the all-new XC60 review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4CYYqKCds-faqc

[@aranh3832]

I very love this suv car.

[@tewfiksabongui2875]

Few comments of what could be improved, as overall it’s a great car. Dashboard could show the date, the back part when loading or unloading heavier things could be equipped with a lowering function for better maneuvering and handling, the reverse and parking audio signal the level of volume should be manageable by the driver to chose the preferred level of signal

[@YuraVoloshin]

Интересно 🤔, спасибо 🙏

[@real_estate_dxb]

awesome review and very informative!

[@er5650]

Definitely, my , Dream, Car

[@aspietoo]

Enjoyable review. Not new to the Brand, but newer owners of a black '14 gl350 Diesel. Whoever thought of bringing the S class interior to the GL deserves a raise. Driving it is like a spa-day that sometimes makes me feel like moving to a bigger/fancier City, since there are none in my small home town, which is why we drive it sparingly since we're not flashy people and don't have big egos to match - we do have that passion for the brand however. Canadians get the AMG cladding and 21s as part of the sport package, without having to buy the GL63 - great styling. Now to buy a new set of continentals - for around $2500. Probably the only vehicle that has made good use of today's available technology-it's got everything, like the reviews of the early R63 in Europe stated - if you were a kid and had to build a car with everything in it - you'd build an R63. THat's what this thing is - with gobs of torque (455 foot pounds).

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for joining us!

[@komodospitfireandrewes9362]

Great review Thomas like always. I feel European cars are always so much better. I might be from Canada but can't really see myself going back to North American cars again lol.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks pal !

[@الهاشميالحر-ض4ه]

I believe that Mercedes needs a lot of work in this category since they still behind comparing to other manufacturers

[@ujjwalnegi4467]

how is its breaking

[@sallybirch1113]

Nice review, but try to be more representative, not everyone dislikes or has concerns around the use of animal skin aka real leather

[@autogefuehl]

At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We strongly believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, but what you decide in the future and what you decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself. Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-2hq2Qjd-jmsU List of practical reasons against animal skin seats: 1. animal skin seats are often an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it) 2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat 3. they are cold in winter 4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling 5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like granny’s old sofa 6. if you want leather look (because visually it sure can look very nice!) or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Paf3p8gMZng5I) So Tesla shows that the discussion, whether you need animal skin is basically done. 7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather) To the environmental reasons: 1. The way the cows are held are catastrophic (see videos below) 2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for 50 % of climate emissions and thus is the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf 3. So it is not only cows that are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage. 4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body. 5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy. 6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/ More special video episodes: 1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpecYn6dl7uVgLM 2. And another one right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn6xmJaCepV_erc 3. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJrTiqmredh8bNU timecode starting 27:46 4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZirpGVpbsd0pKc 5. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway. Manufacturers reactions: We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury. So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change! Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!

[@donelmediterraneo8626]

Current GLS : facelifted GL which was originally a big 7 seater ML for the US market Next GLS : Everything will change to compete the Bentayga with more luxury from the S-class and Maybach/V12 versions.
