2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 Review | The Smoothest Ride in an SUV!
- 2 years ago
In this video I'll go for a test drive and completely review the NEW 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450! I'll test out acceleration, braking, steering feel, cargo space, rear legroom, sound system, exhaust clip and much more!
When you're ready to buy the best Mercedes-Benz SUV you can get, the three-row GLS awaits. Granted, you could make a case that in fact the vaunted G-Class or ritzy Maybach GLS are the "best" but Mercedes assigns the G and GLS models to completely different missions. The GLS is all about maximum luxury, comfort and convenience, while the G-Class specializes in maximum off-roading capability and social currency.
For 2022, Mercedes increases the amount of standard equipment that you'll find on the base GLS 450 4Matic, adding 20-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, and a four-zone automatic climate control system. New upholstery choices are also available. Early in the model year, the V8-powered GLS 580 4Matic and AMG GLS 63 were unavailable, but Mercedes says that both versions will return for the second part of 2022. Be sure to check with your local dealer.
The BMW X7, Infiniti QX80 and the redesigned Lexus LX 600 are the GLS model's main competitors, but this Benz is a credible alternative to a Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon Denali, Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Lincoln Navigator too. True, those rivals are larger inside, but what the Mercedes-Benz GLS lacks in size it makes up for in sophistication.
