Mercedes Benz GLS450 2017 is a purring and muscular 362-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6. And a stout 449-hp twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 powers the GLS550. All engines mate with a nine-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system.

The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 is the real star of the lineup—in our testing, it was as quick as the competition’s V-8s. The GLS-class is a big machine, but thanks to above-average driving dynamics, it never feels clumsy. Although it sometimes betrays its size—long braking stops, and a soft suspension are the main culprits—the big Merc is respectably adept on the road. Thanks in part to its standard air suspension, the GLS-class rides like the luxury cruiser it is.

While the GLS-class hasn’t yet achieved the level of opulence of the Mercedes-Benz S-class, it’s an appropriately cushy cockpit for one of the brand’s best SUVs. Certain interior features that should be standard at this price point are extra-cost options, such as leather seats, a power-adjustable front-passenger’s seat, ventilated seats, and three-zone climate control.
Easy cargo loading and a wealth of space in an elegant package make the GLS-class an excellent choice for those who want to transport their stuff in style. The GLS’s cargo area is cavernous behind the first row of seats, respectable behind the second row, but cramped aft of the third row.
