This is my first Mercedes Benz. I’ve been a BMW fan for 10 years and still enjoy the sportiness it delivers compared to other brands. I contemplated an X7 and a GMC Denali prior to purchasing a GLS. Extremely satisfied with the purchase. Very comfortable vehicle, technology is what you would expect for the money. Versatile and roomy. Not disappointed. I do miss the sport feeling of my previous Bmw X6M but I was ready for a more comfortable ride. Hope this helps. Certainly not disappointed just a different stage of life.

GLS 450: The only good thing is stability and comfort. But feels like driving a very heavy vehicle. Poor electronics. I have a Toyota Highlander it has 200% better electronics than this 2023 GLS450. Yesterday, suddenly, while I was driving on a highway, got a battery warring flash, after a few minutes’ vehicle was stopped, could not restart for 30 minutes. This incident completely broke my confidence on this vehicle. I have invested $100k on this vehicle. This new car has only 3500 miles on it so far. We have BMW X5, compared to this BMW, it’s completely worthless to invest on this model, probably on this brand: Benz. I have big doubts about the reliability of this vehicle.

I purchased a new 2022 Mercedes GLS450 in January of 2022. Since then the car has been in the shop for a total of 24 working days due to various issues.

The redesigned GLS is truly a spacious, luxurious SUV. The 450 has plenty of power and refinement for totally enjoyable driving. The turning radius is extraordinary, and makes for easy parking. Drives smaller and more nimble then it’s size. So far, I’m very happy with this SUV. I upsized from an Audi Q7 and while I loved my Audi, this size was a better fit. Well done Mercedez. UPDATE: after driving this great SUV for a year and a half, I still love it. I’ve had no issues or problems and have only done normal maintenance. I’m very happy with the 450 GLS.

** Update 4/23 Well, this Mercedes is also plagued by stinky HVAC like my 2017. I am not sure why Mercedes cannot get this under control. We have owned many other makes and have NEVER had this problem with any except Mercedes. This is my third MB SUV. I previously owned a 2017 GLS450 and a 2013 GL350 diesel. I would buy another diesel if they still made them but of the gas models, this one is best. The issues I have are first, with the black plastic around the wheel wells. I hate that, it looks like something that would be on a Honda Pilot. I realize I could avoid that by getting the 580 or the AMG model but I did want to spend $30+ grand to avoid some chepo plastic, I shouldn't have to. Hopefully that goes away with subsequent models. The other issue, I had with my 2017 also, is stinky air conditioning system. Mercy, it smells like gym socks. There is a class action lawsuit for the 2017 so hopefully that will compel them to come up with a fix and apply it to the new ones too. It smells like a new vehicle when it's cool and a locker room when it's hot. An $80k+ vehicle should not have this issue. Apart from these two things, the car handles and drives great for such a big vehicle. It hauls all that we need and the V6 has sufficient power. My husband drives an AMG GLE and it's quicker but the power mine has is sufficient for me. I agree with the previous reviewer about the Driver Assistance package and the massage seats. Great additions especially for road trips. I have had it a year and it has functioned properly the whole time. If Mercedes gets rid of the black plastic and figures out how to keep their AC fresh, I will buy a fourth when I am ready for a new vehicle.
