    Great review. We sold our 2018 GLE 350 and bought a used 2023 GLS 450. Could NOT be happier. The term Land Yacht really is appropriate. Fast and strong enough to get out of the way while pulling a small boat but comfy enough to drive 10 hours a day. And the fuel mileage is better than our 2018 GLE 350!

    Just bought one yesterday. It feels tiny/low after decades of driving honking big truck chassis V8 SUV rigs. It drives like a dream though and now I have the built in excuse of not having to haul large groups of people and luggage around.

    My wife has a Cayenne S and I have this in Mojave Silver with the AMG package - I call her "Smooth Jazz". Coming from a sports car, have to say that my driving level stress has gone down dramatically - this thing is just so smooth and stress free to drive. With the suspension and steering in sports mode - it feels like an S Class on the highway. This is our third GL/GLS and this one is a big improvement - especially at speed - much more agile and not truck feeling. Plus the tech is great in the car.

      Thanks for info. I ordered the GLS 450 to avoid paying the market adjustment, only issue was I couldn’t drive one on 23” because none was on the lot. Does yours have 22” or 23” wheels? Trying to figured out if it’s a major difference in ride quality

    I test drove the GLS 580 a couple of months back and really liked it, but I always felt that a little less power would be ideal. This is definitely on my lookout list if I can find the right specs with a middle bench seat. My one gripe is the absence of a spare tire for such a utility rig. In my experience, one could easily run over a screw or a nail in late night driving, then what?

    Very good report. Here in Europe the best option is the 400 d twin turbo diesel with 330 HP and 700Nm of torque.

    Good narration. Is it worth taking Acoustic package as well? Skeptical about visibility through windshield and side windows which may get tinted with it. Loved the test drive. Waiting for mine in 3 months.

    Do u think this car can last me 10 years without major car repairs. I drive about 16,000 miles a year.
    Thinking of buying new and passing it on to my kids in 5 years. The eldest is 12 years old now
    I Bought a used 2015 X5 and spent $15,000 in repairs the first year. I only had it a year but going to sell it and try to buy a GLS
    Thank you

    Up grade to the leather seats and the cooling system. It is a better seat! I highly recommend that option. NO CD player!! So SAD!!! I love the car but would have kept my 2018 if I had realized no CD player. The 2022 MBUX system does a great job with voice commands. I have been driving it for six months and while it has some quirks overall I can't find another car to replace it and have this ride and space and safety!
