Expert reviews:

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class is a three-row crossover SUV that redefines luxurious family transport.

Pros
Sublime demeanor
Posh interior
Strong turbocharged engines
Impressive dynamics
AMG, Maybach editions sure to come

Cons
Hefty price
Hefty curb weight
Hefty fuel consumption
Occasional cheap touch

Sitting atop the Mercedes-Benz SUV hierarchy is the spacious and indisputably luxurious GLS-Class. It's all new for 2020 and it has big shoes to fill—we've named the outgoing GLS-Class to our 10Best Trucks and SUVs list for three straight years—but our first impressions of this new big Benz are very good.

Pros
Tech-rich cabin, spacious in all three rows, refined powertrains.

Cons
Anonymous styling, fussy infotainment system, heavily optioned models carry high price tags

By:

caranddriver.com

New styling in line with other Mercedes SUVs.Powerful mild hybrid powertrains.Standard adjustable air suspension.All-new third GLS generation launched for 2020.

Pros
MBUX infotainment is outstanding
Tops in comfort and easily seats adults in all three rows
Flexible cargo capacity
Responsive powertrains feel like driving a smaller SUV

Cons
Not as off-road-worthy as some rugged competitors
Somewhat vague steering with large wheels and thin tires
MBUX has a steep learning curve

By:

edmunds.com

Minor changes to trim-level content and optional features for 2021.

Pros
Exceptional interior materials and build quality
Excellent ride quality
Plenty of safety and infotainment tech features
Surprisingly agile handling

Cons
Offers less cargo space than most competitors
Cramped third-row seat
Infotainment system is distracting to use

By:

edmunds.com

The 2021 Audi Q7 fuses a high-class cabin and abundant tech features with a coddling ride, engaging handling, and energetic engines, but it falls short on cargo and third-row space. The Q7 does not have an overall score or ranking because it has not been scored for predicted reliability.

Pros
Powerful engines
Well-balanced ride and handling
Lots of high-tech features
Opulent cabin

Cons
Subpar cargo space
Tight third row

By:

usnews.com

The 2021 Audi Q7 three-row SUV features more standard safety and convenience features, an excellent infotainment system, and a soft, luxurious ride.

Pros
Sophisticated interior
More standard safety tech
Improved touchscreens
Standard virtual cockpit
SQ7 performance model

Cons
New engine is less efficient
V-6 is about $6,000 more, depending on trim
Third row for children only
Third-row access should be easier
