The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS is an ultra-luxury family SUV. Today I'm reviewing the 2020 GLS to show you why the 2020 Mercedes GLS450 is a great SUV -- and I'm showing you all the quirks and features of the new Mercedes GLS. Then I'm going to drive the GLS450 and show you what it's like on the road.

Other professional car reviewers: this is a great car for your family!
Doug: *climate wheel is oreos*
kinda feels like Doug is giving out good reviews like candy for certain dealers.... :(
And those random opinions made his channel successful lol
@@carloscampos-kl2kl his early work felt way more honest though
THIS is why I love Doug more than any other car reviewer.
@@CBielski87 true
Doug DeMuro: "The latch is off center and it drives me crazy"
Also Doug DeMuro: "I am completely fine with the electrical outlet leaving a gap in my wall of license plates"
i love you
Its Off center so you can lift the floor panel with your left hand, and retrieve items from the compartment below with your right hand. .... or to simply keep you up at night😁
Well one he's not sitting directly in front of his garage wall
@@gavinhassett479 discrimination against left handed people. See you in court, Mercedes-Benz
LMAO!
Doug: there is no other easier way to get to the third row
Gap in the seat: Am I a joke to u
Also, he completely neglects the fact that the reason the rear seat is more accessible from the passenger side and not the driver's side is because the passenger side is always going to be facing the curb. Kids aren't going to be standing on the traffic-side of a vehicle waiting to get in - they're going to enter from the curb side door, which (if the driver drives correctly) will always be the passenger door - at least in the United States, which traffic laws require you parallel park along the flow of traffic.
I know right
Good point
@@mackie5million625 thats soo smart
and here i was thinking i was the only one who thought that,i feel like mercedes was like saying the same things u just said while watching him do a review infront of them
Things that use a standard wall outlet:
1. Phone charger
2. Laptop

600. Blender

Doug: Thhiisss is our new puppy, and it's the fluffiest puppy currently on the market today.
And today I'm gonna walk it...
@@captainnavi6546 and at the end, im gonna give it a doug score
For increasing responsibility -9/10

LOL!
When are people really going to realize that these big SUVs are just the minivans of this era.
They are used that way. They are made to do some offroad but thats not what people do with it.
@@thekevinager5294 SUVs are just not really what they used to be for better or worse...
You put this thing next to Mercedes luxury minivan that they didn't want to call a minivan (or even market), the r63 amg, and the similarities are striking. "SUVs" nowadays are so much like minivans, it's beyond me how they still maintain their "cool" image all the while minivans in America are all but dead because of their image.
@@thekevinager5294
They cannot do any kind of serious offroading. Neither the wheels nor the tyres are capable of that, and neither are the cars which tend to go into limp mode whenever they leave a pre-school parking lot.
@@thekevinager5294 compared to traditional SUVs, these have no offroad capability at all. A base model 4runner in 2wd would smoke this everywhere.
California has been good to Doug, he's been able to reduce to a single layer of tshirt.
😂😂🤣👏
@Justin Brannon21 are you ok
Lol

@@goprojoe7449 He probably is one of the smartest car reviewers right know. With all the little things, quirks and features he knows.

No you don’t this place is horrible bro trust me I work here
The fact that entering the 3rd row is easier from passenger side is actually safer. Would you rather your kids be standing in street or enter from sidewalk side?
illbbback lol so the passenger side is always towards the sidewalk? 🤔😂
@@archis3 If you are parked legally on the street, yes it is. Of course I am addressing US drivers. But you and yours feel free to enter on traffic side. Word of advise; shift brain to ON before opening mouth.
illbbback wow chill dude! Peace
I wonder if this feature will be on the opposite side for RHD markets
illbbback
I guess you’ve never heard of one way streets? NYC even has “Alternate Side of the street” parking rules so street sweepers and/or plow trucks can get both sides. Parking on the left hand side is compulsory.
6:00 “so you can plug in your blender in the back of your gls” 😂😂🤣
You could just walk through the middle of the row to get to the back seat😂😂
I was thinking that the whole time.
facts I was thinking that too
U cant because the handrest will get in your way
That’s why they have the captains chairs in the first place🤣
@@masonkeiper9587 lol no

6:30 "some sort of thin oreos"
yes, oreo thins
The perfect car for Karen to speak to your manager.
Nah, that honour belongs to Fords and Hondas
Can Karens afford it though?
BTW plz don't woooosh me
Nah. Thats an odyssey
Physics Only Karen is swallowing the bbc who actually owns it
Perfect car for Karen to picks her kids from soccer pratice
The styling from the sides looks like a low budget suv.
Barry Terdmaster in other words it looks cheap, and is ugly. 😉
Its the vanilla version. The one with the amg-line is way cooler! Thats the one everyone will be getting
I feel the same.
I thought exactly the same thing the minute I saw it!
Yeah, EXACTLY. Notice the cheap looking black plastic around the wheel wells? GARBAGE..
Love the Mercedes GLS 450! Tons of options especially in the fully loaded one I reviewed a few days ago. These 3rd row seat SUVs are selling before they’re offloaded at the dealership! Great 👍🏾 review Doug!
No one:
Doug: In my Ford GT...
*Vroom Vroom*
That « fake conversation » writing style meme is annoying as fuck.
Thought the same... Weird flex at this point
No one: Wow Doug, you must be at least 6'4
Doug: 🥴*involuntary ejaculation*
But you know what he likes more? Knowledge.
The Augmented GPS reminds me of the Crazy Taxi directions from the early 2000’s
You so right
When you set the gps, the offspring should start playing
How long until people blame this feature for their car crash
The QX60 lets you do that with the car seats in the second row.
I'm totally impressed with this GLS. So many well thought out features. Can't think of another SUV that's so good overall.
X7
@Vincent Stavig Lol u got me😂 duude leav that part alone
When did Doug start using the phrase, "Party Trick?" lol
Doug: I like things that are just a little bit off
Also doug: why is the latch for the trunk off center?
right like his garage video
Lol its funny how in his garage video he says that he doesn't care about petty stuff but now he says he can't sleep at night coz the latch is off-centre
Contradiction - 💯
Harsh Last ItS cAlLeD sAtIrE
Thought the exact same thing
jiachen zhao Doug has been EXPOSED as a poser! His grand facade will soon burn! He couldn’t handle two personalities at once! lol
Doug, the type of guy to make a smoothie in the back of a GLS
Enough with those fucking jokes
Hey Doug love your videos. Glad there's somebody out there doing some videos on a lot of these vehicles that we love. I wanted to ask is there anyway you can do a video on a second generation Ford Lightning that would be really cool thanks
No one:
Doug: Oreos for people on diets.
Doug the type of guy to fold seats with the people still in them.
Doug the type of guy to ignore this comment
THIS - 2020
The movie featuring Doug DeMuro
Doug OCDing over that latch is TOTALLY ME! 😂
Doug, the off-center handle for the access to the space saver wheel is to allow you to remove the cargo cover one-handed, and then store it in that compartment.
Doug: *I hate it when people worry about making everything so perfect*
Also Doug: 13:15
Did you mean 13:15
Harsh Last yes I did. Thank you!
He's making light of ocd ppl
Is it just me or is the interior extremely underwhelming for the "S class of Mercedes SUVs"
X7 looks more plush
you won't believe how cheap the interior feels in that, i have 2019 charger scat pack and the stitching on that was far more nicer and well laid out than on the Mercedes they had as a demo vehicle.
Yeah it doesn't look very 'ultra luxury'. I bet Hyundai can make the exact same thing and sell it for 1/3 the price.
That's kind of the goal. If you want "expensive-looking" you get a G-Wagon. If you want"status in the ghetto, you buy a garbage Land Rover from the buy here pay here lot. If you want a very nice, large SUV for your family, with most of the toys, without looking ostentatious on the outside ... GLS. Many will confuse it for a GLC or GLE, and that's kind of the point.
Agreed. Quite boring.
wow! this guy has the best car reviews i’ve ever seen!
Very beautiful and detailed videos highlighting each and every feature of all brands of cars thank u
If someone told me it was Korean, I'd believe it except for the three-pointed star on the grille.
The telluride and palisade look so much better than this hideous thing
@@jacobrael9872 and they'd probably have better reliability too.....and wouldn't cost near as much to buy or to fix when something does break
Doug is the type of guy whose favorite song is the intro to All Things Considered on NPR
11/10 comment
No his favourite intro song would be eye of tiger
Favorite
Also the title song from Brewster McCloud...
AJ Rolled 😂 You win the interwebs!
Doug, I was seriously thinking the same thing about the latch too haha. I'm not even kidding. I love the videos, thanks!
20:00 Doug sounds like Jason Fenske from Egineering Explained
doug didnt want to get in trouble with Oreo™ so he pretended like he had never heard of Oreo Thins™
The rounded body styling feels very early-2000s to mid-2000s to me.
from the side looks like Kia Sorento
Right? It's behind the edge trend now. Not a fan of benz.
It's really really ugly and the 6 score he gave for styling is frankly unbelievable
@@zach99998 Doug is unashamedly a German-ophile. I agree with you.
Of the current SUV lineup, this car's competitors are all better looking no doubt.
"Pound-feet-of-torque" gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Doug great video. I would just like to say in regards to your complaint of the second row only being power entry for the third row on one side, that if you have the regular 3 seat configuration instead of the 2 seat captians chairs you have power entry from both sides, as mine does. Just so anyone looking into the truck isnt deterred from purchasing it if they don't get the captain's chair option. Thanks and keep up the great content.
REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND FOLLOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO BE SAVED OR BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOR ETERNITY REPENT!!
Omg the recommendations on this vid because of "family" being in the title.
Nah mine is still a sea of Tyler Hoover and Tavarish 😂
Mine's all car videos.
@@rickc2102 mine's all doug videos
@@BillStreetStudios Me too
The styling is... incredibly underwhelming. The S Class says “I’m rich as hell, get out of my way.” This car just looks like a Highlander
I think it is a strategy. In SUV class that role belongs to G-wagon. They probably don't want to create internal rivalry.
venbolo good thinking, but the G-Wagon is smaller and more off-road oriented while the GLS should be essentially a lifted S Class wagon, rather than a stretched GLE. It’s a good car, but wish that it was more similar to the S Class
yeah, pretty much.
A nice modernization from the previous generation. Much more capable, luxurious and safer than a Highlander. I trust it more than anything to transport more wife and children.
venbolo no, Mercedes got lazy and had to fill the “luxury large suv” void since everyone else was doing it. Period. And yea, it looks like a highlander/pathfinder
"Why mess me up like that Mercedes Benz?" I like that sentence you made Doug
Great review, Doug...
Keep up the wit....!
Ummm Doug, when complaining about how long it takes to get into the 3rd row seats, did you forgot that the 2nd row has....a giant walkway??
Jeremy yep lol...
yep. my kids just walk between the seats. In many years not once anybody needed to lift or move 2nd row seat to get into 3rd...
Right? "There's only one option for getting into the rear row". WTF?
I knew if I scrolled a bit someone had beat me to it.
This is Dougs favorite car to get picked up from soccer practice in.
Doug is the type of guy who prattles on about the complexity of third row access and forgets to mention that you can just walk through the second row captain's chairs.
me and my family love your honest reviews, even my uncle got the zl1 because of your review
Doug should make a Netflix series "Quirks and features"!
Intellectualism I would watch that
Intellectualism okay..?
or a porn
Good luck finding parking spot in Europe with this truck.
Ironically, it comes from Europe.
Ironically, it's not a truck.
@@CptPrice62 Comes from Europe but not targeted to Europe. Too big for Europe
People who can afford this car usually dont park on the side of the road
It doesn't come from Europe, it's assembled in Alabama. The engine and transmission and engineering come from Europe. And very few of them will end up there. Most of them will be sold on the East and West Coast of US.
i previously drove around an older g-class, from around from the 90’s and then then i sold it to my friend for $7,500 and bought my self another mercedes which i liked but it was a sedan so i drove it for about seven years then bought this beast and love it! i drove it from minnesota to Florida FOUR TIMES! every time for thanksgivings and take my friends down with me and they love it! we have mine lowered about 1.8 inches or near there and a redone interior because the part where the door closes would leak occasionally when i washed the car and we had to put plastic on the window when we washed it or we had a towel ready but otherwise we had the interior redone from a black color to a “orient blue” color and we are loving it! fits with the cars color, and we have alot of space and love it so much so my parents and friends pack alot and stores just as much as my older honda odyssey and we bought the higest end one i think and its so nice to ride in!
Doug the type of guy to show off the quirks and features of his toaster

The best reviewer on RUclips ❤️❤️👌
Doug has a flat screen tv on his garage wall and watches Harry Potter movies sitting in his car using the backup cam.
😂😂😂😂
More like Pulp Fiction
How many times did he say “Full size luxury SUV”😂
As many times as Fletcher Jones told him to!
But does it have MBUX? He should have mentioned it if it does.
Love the way he said to plug in the blender while driving the gls :D :D
Doug said party trick many times during this review. Also, Doug sounds like a DIFFERENT person during voiceover sections of the video.
now i can’t unsee the “oreo”
Other car reviwers: Let's start from the main thing about this car, the looks and size!
Doug DeMuro: you can plug in the blender in the back seats.
I wish you would have shown the built in roof rack. One of the main reasons I bought my outback! Thanks for all your great videos
I bet you take out one fuse, the whole damn truck dies
Pull the circuit 15 relay and it will die.
What car wouldn’t nowadays 🤣
it's not a truck
Its not a truck lol
Or just walk through the path in the captains chairs to get into the 3rd row
huh. yeah.
Mercedes: “Däus Un Fine Aütomobile”
Doug: “OoRrEoOs???”
What?! o.Ô
is this your attempt at mocking german? Pathetic
I didn't know Oreos was a german word.
That's closer to French.
Das ist ein Feines Automobil.
Doug will truly be in heaven when a carmaker introduces an upgrade to the cupholder- the blender- holder! Even better, a blender!
I love how they implemented augmented reality in the Nav :)

Or just do it with russian roulette
admiralprestoncole you must remember its a GLS and not a GLA or GLC OR GLE !!! AGHAGH!! IM GOING TO EXPLODE !
The 2019 A220 has the augmented navigation as well
Different segment
Woods Young yeah and it really sucks, you really don’t want to use that in either car
But does the 2020 Airbus A220 have that?
@A real bisexual petrol-headwow you really don't know what a joke is. And you called someone else an idiot
Good thing they included two sun visors to cover the case when there's two Suns in your driving path, one on the side and one in front. Gotta cover all the possibilities.
Doug: The full-size luxury SUV segment is really hot right now! Jacobim Mugatu: Also, that Hansel is so hot right now!
Drinking game: take a shot every time Doug says “MBUX”...
Chug every time he says "party trick"
Not again, I’m still recovering from the CLA video :’(
It's such an awful name. M-B-U-X or M-BUX is what I've heard it been called and they both suck. M-B-U-X is too long and M-BUX sounds cheap. If it had a normal name it wouldn't stand out as much.
@@samuelrs5138 you can say "Mercedes Benz User Experience" 😂
MBUX is a bit shorter at least
Wow this gets me excited for Mercedes again. (Augmented sat navbis brilliant tech) Awesome review.
CONGRATs to the Mercedes Fletcher Jones selling the most America in the entire US -that’s one heck of an achievement. Congrats.
love his shirt, I always like his shirts
Memo: Phrase of the day is "party trick." Find as many party tricks as you can.
"Why do you have to mess with me like that, Mercedes-benz" hahahaha
Man, Doug, you are being EXTRA QUIRKY in this video! Lol 😂 I love it though, bc I was just as triggered by those things, too! 🤓
You do a great job of taking the viewer on a tour of the car. You make it as if I'm there. The backseats are awesome - much better than the Black Badge or the Bentayga. Why doesn't the Maybach have the Maybach head ornament? Great video and continued success.
13:16 it’s off centre so you can still load the tire with your right hand while opening the cover with your left hand. If it was in the middle, it would be hard to get the tire in because of where you’d be standing
oh ya ,come to think of it.
*Doug the type of guy to listen to Darude Sandstorm and ask what song it is.*
I just bought a 2021 GLS450 because of this review. Thank you Doug.
Great vid as usual, thx Doug ;)....but I wish there was a better view than on the gray pedestal in an off white room crammed in a corner....with a dealership of that notoriety, you'd think there would be a nicer viewing location
