Now, I could not afford a floor mat in this Mercedes, but I would think the typical buyer would want a 360 camera and real leather for everyday driving. Incredible SUV.
If I’m not mistaken, the reason why Mercedes’ leather seats are a more expensive option is because they are trying to take a stand against animal cruelty. I have an E class and you the seats don’t have real leather and I’m actually glad they don’t. They are great seats nonetheless.
@@cloudniner4lifex yes in deed, ventilation seats are must have. I have a model y and those seats torch your back during summer when it was 105 outside
This came out in 2019 as a 2020 model and still ages like fine wine. Just like the XC90 this GLS still seems fresh. Maybe 2023 or 2024. More than likely for 2024 it’ll get some slight updates as far as the exterior just like the X7.
That SUV is so luxurious and you have to pay extra for the security systems two thousand dollars more and as soon as it is about to expire the guarantee would sell it immediately 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s what I love about German car. The trim levels can be so basic but then they turn into avatars or Lego’s whichever way u put it. You can really get the prefect one for you just by having all these options. Even though u are very much overwhelmed with so many packages and options.
I have loved both of my GLSs but my husband wants to buy a different SUV. I think the GLS is the best because of safety but I’m finding it hard to find proper crash testing videos, safety data and comparisons. He is looking mostly at Audi Q7, Prado and Range Rovers. Any suggestions?
The GLS just nails so many areas that buyers of this class demand. The refinement is perhaps its biggest trademark. Despite the fact that MB has tried to sell this as the "S-Class of SUVs" for years, this is the first iteration that seems to really earn that badge. The ride is supremely comfortable, easily outclassing most underneath something like a Cullinan or Bentaga. But I have more own airballs, brothers: MB Tex at $90K is just unacceptable. Yes I know the world is becoming increasingly accepting of "vegan"(read: Pleather) interiors due to the insurgency of EVs, but this is a MERCEDES! And in this light of a color, the graining detracts from an otherwise nice interior(although the design is a bit cautious overall). I also think the plastic gear and turn signal stalks are appallingly cheap looking.(the true S Class has aluminum stalks). One other question brothers: You guys just tested the Expedition Timberline with the high-output Ecoboost. It seemed like that vehicle was faster than this GLS. But I do know that MB I-6 is silky smooth, so I guess you have to pick your poison.
Yeah you're right but the price is okay for what your are getting from the suv Compared to suv like the lexus lx with the same price points. believe me there is no full size suv that drive smoother, quieter than this on the market today.
This is exactly why I got a GLE. The 3rd row is only useful when you want to torture somebody. Can you imagine being stuck back there on a long road trip?
Nice Review. Wish you write the price of each car in every video title like this one. It's actually what attracted me to watch and like. One new subscriber.
Those are more body on frame Trucks too, this and the X7 drive more like a car. This is also the largest SUV Mercedes offers which is why they call it full size
Looks great on the outside, but rides super rough and the transmission skipping around 2nd gear is uncomfortable. Also, I HATE that Mercedes abandoned the brown 2nd color inside (floor, dash, door bottoms, matts, etc) for black. The "paint every flipped house gray" trend died fast and now we're still stuck with this cold white/black interior... bring back the tan/brown!
I go back and forth all the time on whether or not I should trade my 2018 GLS in for one of these bad boys. Mine is still covered by MB CPO warranty for another year and a half, so I’ll probably pull the trigger this year if I’m gonna. I think my third row is slightly roomier though, and that was one of the primary deciding factors when I picked my GLS over the x7 and Q7.
Same rear lights as a C class. Haha. Big tristar is not a great front. Lights too small. Rims too big at 23. Interior same as. GLE in front row. Please.
I kind of lost interest after the third use of the word 'bouji?' Is that English? Is it a millenial thing? Do millennials have their own language? The price point of this car is likely to mean that there are very few millenials (kids) buying a S Class Mercedes so how about reserving the millenial speak for when you review a Honda CRV or Toyota Camry?
@Car Confections "informal and usually disparaging: marked by a concern for wealth, possessions..." please rethink your use of the term and the target market for my GLE or a GLS buyer.
People who buy Mercedes GLS' are "bougie". Not saying that in a derogatory way, it just means they like nice things and they are willing to pay the price to get them. By the way, more "millennials" buy Mercedes than any other age group. Look it up!
Luxury suv??? 2022 and still powerstep running board? Take forver to remote start the car. Doge Rams and others cheaper cars already have power running board.
The Mercedes GLS AMG 63 and Maybach interiors are nice but i will never buy ether one because it just looks like a minivan😔 come on Mercedes you can do better. Give us exterior that looks better and a better looking steering wheel. This new one is terrible 🤮
That car has my name on it.
Our name on it LMBO it's gorgeous
Congrats you couples lol
2022 Mercedes GLS 450 understated elegance ... This exterior color shows of design well ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
Now, I could not afford a floor mat in this Mercedes, but I would think the typical buyer would want a 360 camera and real leather for everyday driving. Incredible SUV.
I have one with leather, but for SoCal, real leather isn’t ideal when it’s mostly 90-100f in summer

@@cloudniner4lifex I actually agree, MBTex is good for SoCal weather anyway, real leather aren’t durable
@@jackz4149 makes sense. Im in NY so I wouldn’t know year-long summer. I bet you need the ventilated seats 🫠
@@cloudniner4lifex yes in deed, ventilation seats are must have. I have a model y and those seats torch your back during summer when it was 105 outside
This 22' Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV is good.
Great job with your content as always bro.
Maybe I missed it but do you have a video player??
I need one with white color, how can I get it? I'm in Nigeria.
Hi Car Confections How Are You Can You Make The 2023 BmwX7 xDrive40i
Lol I had the same question. They are waiting for one to arrive
Hi sunjib , how are you ? Can you use the period and question marks when you ask a question ?
The sign looks like this: “?”.
@@Collin2377 it’s probably a child. this is yt not english class.
@@caidenn_mb you mad bro ?
@@Collin2377 English is most likely not his first language.

i hope to get a gls one day in the future!
I think the 2023 version is a refresh/redesign?
Have you recorded the db value?
Did you guy test the noise level on this vehicle?
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!
Love this car i've had mine over a year now and this thing blows my mind everytime i drive it
You guys forgot to do the sound meter test!
Sound measurement just caught off
Sorry may be I missed, what's the exact name of this exterior color of this car.
That SUV is so luxurious and you have to pay extra for the security systems two thousand dollars more and as soon as it is about to expire the guarantee would sell it immediately 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does it still bounce???
Nice review keep up the good work Drew and Mason
Nice video of the Mercedes Benz GLS!!! Great job guys!!!
Excellent video as always!

Funny how the animation on the digital display, when closing the door is a GLE.

No decibel meter reading?
Does this ride better than the 2016-19 GLS ?
I really really love the Mercedes GLS it’s very nice and Luxury! I love all Mercedes!
I was surprised that the rear seat headrest were just not comfortable.

You can get real full leather but you have to pay for the option !
What do you think of the expedition timberline?
Are you saying the 2016-19 GLS does not ride like the S-Class sedan?
Can U send it to Bolivia?
Great review!
Thanks!
Need the amg version of this
Car prices these days are crazy, one If these optioned to around 90k costs 118k because Of market adjustment
Very nice suv . Looks great , inside and out . Little on the pricey side . As always , great video guys thank you
Yeah you're right but the price is okay for what your are getting from the suv Compared to suv like the lexus lx with the same price points. believe me there is no full size suv that drive smoother, quieter than this on the market today.
@@-Monib- what makes the RX better than a gls apart from claiming reliability thing?
Literally considering the GLS right now and this pops up! A sign? Hmmm
Maybe... 😂
Absolute beast
Brilliant!
For $92,000 plus fees....I expect a lot of these optional features to be "standard".
Yesterday my daughter and I test drove this against the X7. She much preferred the X7.
This is exactly why I got a GLE. The 3rd row is only useful when you want to torture somebody. Can you imagine being stuck back there on a long road trip?

Thanks! Welcome to the Car Confections family!
92k and you gotta option in real leather for even more…. Wild
I was thinking the same thing ridiculous
This is the car of the cars how much isn't going for?
While I'm usually a German fanboy, I think Lexus is the winner in this segment.
Wait what! No way does Lexus have a better luxury SUV than Merc and BMW. That Lexus GX is dated as crap
Not bad! I would get everything on it! Why? If you’re going to get a vehicle like that, it’s best to go All Out!
I drive electric.. Tesla SuV..
Now this is the only gasoline one that entices me!
I love it
I wouldn’t consider that a full-size suv because smaller than the Escalade and navigator and the new jeep wagoneer grand series 3
Those are more body on frame Trucks too, this and the X7 drive more like a car. This is also the largest SUV Mercedes offers which is why they call it full size
GLS is a full size SUV. Escalade is just fat
I love this gls. So luxurious. Keep up the good work and also pls review the maybach gls. It would be pretty sick if u guys review it.
Oh yeah we'd love to review one some day!
The car based SUV's should get better gas mileage than the big boy's truck base SUV's most reviews of the GLS say it's floaty boaty
Why don't you do sound reading anymore??
Was just about to comment on this. I see the sound meter in the cup holder, but no reading taken.
The bmw X7 beats this with somethings. Like the bmw has also has a third row sunroof. Yeah
True but after the mid cycle refresh it got the face of a Hyundai now :(
Now x7 is some what boring (personal).face lift version is futuristic but..old x7 was super cool 💯
Ill go with 2023 toyota sequoia!

I'll consider it after the next bank I rob
My final movement 🤣
The review is nicer than the car 😏😁
So the Mercedes Benz GLS overall is nice. But you forgot to review one thing, you forgot to show us how to go on neutral using the shifter.
Press *lightly* up from drive and hold for a second
It's a lemon car.
A QUEEN AND A KING CHULUMANCO AMAHLE SIPHUNGU AL TARIQ DAWUD SIPHUNGU ONE FOR A QUEEN THE OTHER FOR A KING
Why does the GLE and even the GLB have better vents? And the back looks like a Honda Odyssey 😭
I go back and forth all the time on whether or not I should trade my 2018 GLS in for one of these bad boys.

I think my third row is slightly roomier though, and that was one of the primary deciding factors when I picked my GLS over the x7 and Q7.
I just love merc and all german cars. The only problem is they are unreliable and costly to fix.
The chrome on s class and GLS is very low quality
Same rear lights as a C class. Haha. Big tristar is not a great front. Lights too small. Rims too big at 23. Interior same as. GLE in front row. Please.
The front is really bad-looking.
Sorry, I prefer the new Range Rover.
The most powerful thing about Mercedes-Benz is to design that ugly screen
Wired android auto and Apple car play on a 2022 Mercedes is an absolute travesty. Do better Mercedes.

Grand Wagoneer Is better :)
After a years it will break down. Go watch scotty reviews on it. Worse car to buy.
The Mercedes GLS AMG 63 and Maybach interiors are nice but i will never buy ether one because it just looks like a minivan😔 come on Mercedes you can do better. Give us exterior that looks better and a better looking steering wheel. This new one is terrible 🤮
shifter is so ugly and dated. a console shifter?? a joke 😂
I agree. That shifter is right out of a 57 Chevy!
The worst car I just bought my brand new 300 miles check engine light on it shaking like hell.
