Used 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class is available in two basic trims: the inline-six (362 horsepower, 369 lb-ft) powered GLS 450 and V8-powered (483 hp, 516 lb-ft) GLS 580. Both engines are paired to a nine-speed transmission and Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. Standard and optional features are largely the same between the two models — the biggest differences come down to price and performance.
Which GLS-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class is available in two trims largely differentiated by their engines. While we enjoy the GLS 580's powerful V8 engine, we suggest going for the GLS 450 with its turbocharged inline-six. It delivers more than enough performance and nets better fuel efficiency. It's also generally available with the same standard and optional features.
