Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Hellcat-powered Durango is all-new for 2021. However, the hugely powerful SUV is only scheduled for a single year of production. While the company pulled a similar move with the highly hyped and limited-edition Challenger SRT Demon, we hope strong sales and enthusiast interest will prolong this devilish Durango's life.

PROS
A three-row SUV with 700-plus horses,
as quick as a 797-hp Hellcat Challenger,
surprisingly deft handling for its size.

CONS
Precipitous price tag,
miserable fuel economy,
omnipresent supercharger whine can get annoying.

By: 
caranddriver.com

PROS
Stupefying acceleration and speed
Excellent infotainment system
Theatrical exhaust sounds

CONS
Novelty can wear off in day-to-day use
Frightening fuel consumption
Still feels outdated

By: 
cnet.com

Pros
Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class
Strong V8s provide exceptional towing ability
Real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing

Cons
Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8s
Many of the latest advanced driver safety features don't come standard
Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs

Most buyers will be well-served by the GLS 450. It delivers solid performance along with its luxurious cabin, plus it leaves room for customization with numerous options packages.

PROS
Spacious third-row seat can accommodate adults
Ample acceleration with any powertrain choice
Quiet cabin with luxurious trim
Available off-road package gives it true capability in the dirt

CONS
Many desirable features don't come standard
Large price jump from GLS 450 to GLS 550

By:

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS takes an old-school tack to modern-SUV design, and it works.

Lots of safety technology on tap
AMG–no, really

Dated switchgear
COMAND is cumbersome
Diesel’s been deleted
