Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

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

Strong turbocharged engines
Impressive dynamics
AMG, Maybach editions sure to come

Hefty curb weight
Hefty fuel consumption
Occasional cheap touch

Pros
MBUX infotainment is outstanding
Tops in comfort and easily seats adults in all three rows

Responsive powertrains feel like driving a smaller SUV

Cons
Not as off-road-worthy as some rugged competitors
