Features
Exterior
At first glance, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS stands out in its class- even among its fellows in this line of vehicles. The lines are boxy, not boring- but stern- implying power and astute engineering- as you have come to expect from Mercedes. Like their other 2017 SUV crossovers, the iconic insignia of the brand is mounted flat on the grille, rather than standing up on the hood. This is Mercedes? way of telling you that you?re looking at one of its more rugged offerings. Both sleek and sturdy looking, the GLS features massive intakes on the front end below the bumper, indicating that it?s got a rather hungry engine lurking within- and it does.
Interior
Inside its three rows of seats offer enough room for seven adults; the interior features a generous helping of leather, wood trim, and an array of exciting options such as the air ionization system. Mercedes? infotainment and navigation system are displayed on a massive centrally located screen. Wiggle room up front is fairly limited, but the ergonomics are good enough that you don?t need to move around too much. Racy, exposed metal on the gas and brake pedals stands to indicate the attention that went into the GLS?s capabilities on the road.
Technology
GLS450 sports a 362-hp twin-turbo V-6 engine, and the GLS550 boasts a 449-hp twin-turbo V-8 powerhouse. For the economically minded driver, the GLS350d features a 255-hp diesel V-6 engine. All of these have AWD and nine-speed automatic transmissions. Sharing the 362-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 with the pre-revision GL450, the GLS450 ranks above the GLS350d and below both the eight-cylinder GLS550 and GLS63 AMG variations.
Performance
The GL350 BlueTec spans 0 to 60 in 7.5 seconds and with a mpg performance of 22 mpg. The GL550 achieves 60 mph in 5.4 seconds with just 14 mpg. The GLS350d and GLS550 shouldn?t be expected to perform terribly differently. The new GLS450 rockets to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds- a whisker behind the 550- while its 18 mpg was closer to the diesel version than the V-8. Those who do not feel the need for speed so strongly could make a good case in defense of the diesel.
Safety
The 2017 GLS hasn't been through its crash-testing paces yet- but it comes with all of the latest advanced electronic safety systems like collision-prevention assist, cross-wind assist, and brake assist- a major plus in a family vehicle.
