Just bought one in the same color - the 2021 “Launch Edition.” It is the best AMG I’ve owned, hands down... comfort and performance with that AMG growl is amazing... and I just discovered the “emotion start,” which is the only way to start it!
The last model is going to get smashed in resale now that this is out, I've seen them hovering around $120.000 it'll be interesting to see what they drop to.
Great review, I ordered one a few weeks ago in Brilliant Blue. Currently drive an X7 daily. I’m curious to see which will be the better vehicle for me.
Amazing barge however G63 would be my pic for its off road focus in terms of appearance and engineering despite very few or any being used for more than a trip to the local single origin fair trade coffee barista
How does AMG active ride compare to E-body. GLS 580 is available with E-body control, amg models are available with amg active ride. E-body has curve mode. i wonder if active ride does exact same job as curve mode.
Owners invariably go for three years and then consign them to history. Main market is as a ' statement' car that's almost screams 'we are safe on onboard and top dogs'. ps. Just saw one albeit prob the previous iteration going down our hill, and it looked 'Grand'!!! Grand in an-upstanding resolute tanklike way...not to be confused with the lessers. thanks Tom. Happy Christmas.
Mercedes has become the most homogenised brand of all. I literally thought this was the entry level one. It looks identical. Like sure the inside is amazing, but from like $60k starting to $255k and I had no idea 😂
Try more like $370,000 on road. You don't save for this, you lease it under your ACN and write it off as an expense, well unless you have more money than brains that is.
$250k for a huge depreciation look at me suv with reliability that rivals the “Jeep and nasty” and customer service/support that treats its customers like a bad case of an STD. Great review but no thanks
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 no having owned a c class and an ML I speak from actual experience. Many close friends also having owned them with similar experiences
Its really up to the individual person to determine whether or not its worth it. I have a w211 E550 and I love it. Yes Ive had to replace and fix many things, but driving a V8 Mercedes is very worth it for me.
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 I would agree with a statement like: “everyone who can afford it, doesn’t care about….” There are so many people who can’t afford it and buy it for the show - that’s sad!

Just checking how this SUV run in the long term, any issues? Thinking of getting the 2024 version
Maaan, a very cool, simple design and nice sound!!! Bravo mercedes!
A real AMG

We have reached peak SUV
I hope so.
Still A GLS 73 to come.

Superb review sir .. love and respect from India … pls compare bmw x7 and gls 63 amg …
Dream Car🤤
Does anyone else in Australia not use kw like me? I prefer HP and NM.
I don’t think kw has much to do with Nm.
I have to convert kW to Hp every time

c class wagon 4x4 squared with portal axles :) for me

It's so big it looks a little bit like a bus? A school bus to be exact
If you drive one of these you are better than people who drive a Tuscon/Sportage/CX-5.
I would have put the Maybach GLS 600 as the top of the line.
In luxury i´ll agree with you, but the AMG has more power than the Maybach.
does Australia market offer 6 seats option? 2 2 2?
That’s what she said

The scale in person is naturally quite different - but I agree, there is an incredibly strong brand aesthetic, for better or worse.
Size queen 🥴
250,000 ???? O_O Um....I do like a 7 seater..... How many years of savings xD

Why is it another $120,000 to put it on the road?
$250k and hard plastic? That should be a crime
AMG GLS 63 or Lexus 570

No vehicle is worth that much doesn't matter which brand it is 🤔 I wonder how many they will sell in Australia ?
drive around sydney these things are everywhere and just dont understand why😂
Psychology is why...
good way to spend the drug money ;)
Why not?
Do you know how much it costs to put the r&d into something like this?
How much should this cost?
The panamericana grill just doesn't work on this. Or any SUV for that matter.
I like Mercedes, but BMW shits on their SUVs. Looks cheap plastic for 250k . Looks to artificial. Not a genuine build as opposed to BMW
Looks like they copied the front from the Suzuki S-Cross.
The S-Cross was doing Panamericana before it was cool…
