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

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

By:

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

Pros
Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient
Easy personalization thanks to abundant standard and optional features
Impressive handling for an SUV

Cons
Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space

The 2022 BMW X4 crossover goes back for styling seconds: you’ll have to judge whether it’s worth the calories.

Pros
Willing turbocharged engines
Balanced handling
Scalding M performance
Excellent interior tech
Lots of available safety gear

Cons
Style not for everyone
So-so rear-seat human space
So-so cargo space
Mega M price tag

By:

thecarconnection.com

Updated styling elements mark the 2022 model year for the X4. BMW has tweaked the grille, the bumpers, exterior lighting elements, and wheel designs this year and has reworked the X4's center console. The hot M40i model gains a 48-volt hybrid system and larger 12.3-inch infotainment and gauge displays are now standard.

Pros
Nicely balanced chassis,
powerful turbocharged engine options,
cool fastback exterior styling.

Cons
Snug rear seat space,
cargo room not as generous as X3's,
sober interior styling.
