Autogefühl : hi, when is 2020 model coming out? 😀
@@tiredtill2010 It is out now. 🤗
I recently had a GL350 and put over 100,000Ks on it over four years. It was very comfortable, reliable and economical (particularly on freeways). Also, in spite of its size, very easy to drive in cities thanks to good visibility, the relatively small turning circle and great camera system.
thanks for the feedback!
I have the GL500 because I have three small kids.
It's very relaxing to drive in vacation, you have more than enough space and the comfort is exquisite. The S class of the SUV for sur.
This vehicle is not very common in France where I live, and often the people ask me what's is.
Unfortunately if have a problem with it, I have vibrations at low revs and the garage doesn't seems to find what cases this.
We own a 2014 GL550 and other than the infotainment system I couldn't tell these two SUVs apart. Though the refresh was negligible I recommend this vehicle to buyers in this segment because it offers an excellent driving experience, versatility and functionality. The escalade is an excellent choice but I prefer the Mercedes design better. Thomas, as always, thank you for presenting this marvelous piece of engineering. Well done!
thanks Jerry!
Great compliment, couldn't say it better
Jerry Georgopoulos hi, are you still happy with your GLS? Have you had any problems with it? Thanks
What about reliability?
have u ever test drive a diesel gls? How’s the cabin noise comparing to the petrol ones?
One of my favorite proper SUVs currently on the market. I am in love with your German accent! I feel the need to open a Milka bar. Thanks for this review. From The United States of America.
thanks, keep tuning in :)
Hou many prices this car
Very honest review, thank you. Downsized from an Armada to a GL450. Not as spacious, but a very comfortable ride. Also takes off like a sports car.
Was the change worth it?
Two thing this car is missing and i would love to see in the up coming models which are 1- head up display projector 2- the wide screen that comes on the E class. And head up display is more important in my opinion!
Well the new GLS has it
Seems like the perfect bad ass family SUV. Loads of luxury, overkill power and good looks. An AMG equivalent is definitely on my list if i ever win the lottery haha! Thanks for the wonderful review Thomas!
thanks keep following us!
This is one of the best car reviews channels on here, been watching for hrs love how in depth they are
Thx please recommend!!
Until I test drove the Volvo XC90 Twin Motor - this was my favourite 7 seat SUV. The GLS badly needs the glass instrument displays from the S Class.
Clive Sinclair Display* . Not the one in front, analogue gauges are way more sexy
I test drove both the D5 and T6 versions of the XC90, I ended up buying the X5 30d, I personally like the interior of the XC90 more, but when it came to the engineering bits like noise cancellation, body roll, on road performance I just personally think that the Swedes have a lot to improve to catch up with Benz, BMW, Audi. The D5 was wayyyy tooo noisy for a premium SUV. T6 with a super+turbo charged 4 banger is a great concept but the real world fuel econyomy is around 12-14L/100KM which you could achieve with the 6cylinder diesel versions with the German rivals i just mentioned. Plus a 6 cylinder unit with todays technology I personally believe the power output is way smoother. Just my humble opinion
I agree about the motor. However here in the UK diesels are becoming a problem. There are strong indications that diesels may be banned, or require to pay a charge to enter cities. Central Government has already approved local Governments the power that charge diesel drivers.
They are also taking about forcing owners of older diesels to scrap their cars - with some sort of payment incentive.
So after many years of diesel cars, my new car this year will be petrol. The XC90is probably the most economical of the large petrol powered SUV's - but yes, it's not very refined and it certainly isn't a Cayenne or X5 round the twisty bits, bit that depends how you drive.
I would prob go for a Range Rover Sport if I were in UK with the supercharged V6 version. but ofc the XC90 is slightly bigger in size, In fact I felt even more cramped in the driver seat when i test drove the Sport vs my X5 plus the rear boot is slightly smaller. however RR Sport is way more luxury inside compared to the XC90. If ur chooseing the T8 engine with a few options u could prob get a AUTOBIOGRAPHY trim level with the supercharged v6 at the same price. and since its a hybrid system in theT8, I wouldnt think that the reliability would be any better than RR even though RR are not particularly known for their reliability.
Another problem with Volvo is just the image of the car. RR and Benz has basically been the benchmark for the luxury car segment (excluding the very high end Rolls, Bentley) and are continuing to raise the bar. My friend has a S500 and I was impressed by how much more luxury it was compared to my X5 even though I had extra covered leather dashboard option. In fact even the Sport just feels, looks, drives way more luxurious than the XC90. It feels more planted on the road, softer and is a lot more quiet.
Fantastic and comprehensive review as always Thomas. Really enjoy your objective and considerate approach to the reviews without sounding too opinionated. It's all very matter of fact presenting the viewer with food for thought. Thanks!
thanks keep tuning in!
I got inside a GLS with the "cloth" seating and found the platform quite acceptable and prefer it for the comfort and feeling after driving it! The brown interior seating is perfect for me!
Nice! You mean the brown Artico/MB Tex?
Exactly what I mean't to say! Thank you
Sehr gut dass du die Tierhaut erwähnt hast!!Review war auch Top!
Ich finds gut dass ihr auch bezahlbare Versionen testet die Sinn machen👍🏻
Vielen dank empfehl uns gerne weiter :)
Great reviews - always the right amount of detail to really get to know a vehicle! Personally, I'm eager for the next generation of these Mercedes SUV's to inherit the interior technology that was just seen in the E-class.
great to have u with us!
Rob Woods Like pink noise hearing protection! I mean...wow.
Wie jedes Video super Thomas...auch gut das du die Videos auf englisch machst,dann hast du auch deutlich mehr Menschen die deine Videos gucken....veränder dich nicht denn so wie du gerade arbeitest ist es am besten!!!
Vielen Dank das wissen wir sehr zu schätzen!
Kann Hans nur zustimmen, aber das wisst ihr ja schon :)
An excellent review of an outstanding SUV. I enjoyed the easy pace of the review, and the general positive attitude he exudes. Brings out all the great features of this vehicle. I will buy it when it comes to North America.
thanks keep following us!
Looking forward to this review, I'm sure it's awesome! Thomas you have to be one of the hardest working people on you tube, almost everyday another interesting review, rock on brother.....
+Michael Meltzer 😎
I think you are confusing it with a Range Rover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, let's go and check it! Great program for Saturday evening!
thanks spread the word for us!
wow. it's like I'm physically driving this . thank you
🙏
Well, the car is a monster but the review is great as always :)
thanks bro !
21:44 the cover is for covering up valuables that you want to leave in the vehicle. So at least they aren’t in plain sight of any thieves walking past.
this one better looking outside than new gls
Few comments of what could be improved, as overall it’s a great car. Dashboard could show the date, the back part when loading or unloading heavier things could be equipped with a lowering function for better maneuvering and handling, the reverse and parking audio signal the level of volume should be manageable by the driver to chose the preferred level of signal
I love it. It looks way better than the current Audi Q7 and this is not even the top of line. This car is for people with a lot of stuff and a very busy schedule.
Terry Then what is top of the line? This car is more expensive than a Q7.
AMG GLS 63...you had to ask.
the quality of your video it's amazing
thanks spread the word for us!
Thanks for another great upload Tomas
+David Anderson 👍
My father owns one and it's a GLS450, it's sad that they don't offer a sport package look for the US, but only for Canada. However, it's one awesome beast.
@25:23 I'm sure you meant 2 litre 4 cylinder turbo engines 😊 All aside, a brilliant review as always from the God of Full HD, full length, full screen, full of details reviews. Ghanshyam, Braunschweig. 👏🏽👍🏽😎😃
haha yes =)
I like this big black Merc gls . I love your review Thomas thanks 👌
thanks pal!
Best suv in the world :)
this is the aesthetic which brings forward revolutions, my friend.
Say What ? brings vibrations ?
Really looking forward to the AMG GLC 63S review! 👍🏾
Current GLS : facelifted GL which was originally a big 7 seater ML for the US market
Next GLS : Everything will change to compete the Bentayga with more luxury from the S-class and Maybach/V12 versions.
Very mercedes, i have ordered a new c class coupe and have specified artico leather thanks to you 👍🏻
awesome, enjoying cars _and_ thinking about sustainability!
Acv
Phi Collins very nice
Mercedes always look so luxurious with the cream coloured interior.
as I mentioned you can also get the beige colour in the MBTex/Artico leatherette!
Great review, very detailed and thorough. Thank you.
Hei:-) Good review. With reference to the 3rd row seats, I believe you forgot to mention that the 2nd row seat can adjust the back rest (2 positions I think) . This gives very good space in the 3rd row knee space. The 2nd row passenger do not notice this change:-) I'm 1.86cm and have plenty space in the 3rd row
awesome review and very informative!
I read all these comments with a German accent🇩🇪
Enjoyable review. Not new to the Brand, but newer owners of a black '14 gl350 Diesel. Whoever thought of bringing the S class interior to the GL deserves a raise. Driving it is like a spa-day that sometimes makes me feel like moving to a bigger/fancier City, since there are none in my small home town, which is why we drive it sparingly since we're not flashy people and don't have big egos to match - we do have that passion for the brand however. Canadians get the AMG cladding and 21s as part of the sport package, without having to buy the GL63 - great styling. Now to buy a new set of continentals - for around $2500. Probably the only vehicle that has made good use of today's available technology-it's got everything, like the reviews of the early R63 in Europe stated - if you were a kid and had to build a car with everything in it - you'd build an R63. THat's what this thing is - with gobs of torque (455 foot pounds).
thanks for joining us!
I have a solution for those stitches on the seat that become uncomfotable on long rides. You can put a thin blanket or soft mat on the seat. That should take care of the problem. Good review.
Thanks!
I love this car! And as usual, super review and very detailed.... Thank you
thanks keep following us!
Great work, I really enjoyed this video, thanks!
thanks join us for more!
What a great review. I thought at first why this is over 40min long ?But now I watched it I understand and I'm happy it took that long.It was my dream to buy it as I have 3kids and driving an E class w212 at the moment and I'm running out of space as kids growing up. Was thinking this or Viano/Vclass now I'm certain to go for Viano/Vclass. There is no boot space in GLS once the 3rd row of seats is up.I carry 2bicycles almost all the time with me( my littlest boy is only 1y old so not riding yet). Thanks again for great review,will subscribe hoping for more reviews in this style.
Welcome !!
My dream car, it is really a monster. I love it!
Please Autogefühl/Thomas make a preview of the MERCEDES-BENZ G63/65 and G500 4x4 square,please please please!!!
This vehicle is amazing. Would’ve loved for you to show the voice command. Maybe next one👍🏽Thanks for your efforts
Great review as always, Thomas. When can we expect your review of the Volvo XC60? Really looking forward to that one.
Thanks! No schedule yet but we ll keep u posted ASAP
See the all-new XC60 review: th-cam.com/video/EO51oLAjl4E/w-d-xo.html
I just check the GLS 450 here is US and it has a different look. the one you are testing in this video is the GLS 550 here with this look.
You are a wonderful lady for shearing all of the information on the 400 and 450
Ogott das Fond-Entertainment. Die 80er grüßen. Die Fernbedienung dient wohl gleichzeitig als Schlagknüppel? Display vorne 8 Zoll und 16 Zoll Rahmen? Also für ne S-Klasse im SUV-Segment ist das schon ziemlich mies.
Afaik Mercedes designed this one with the US market in mind. Living here in Europe I would rather have a well equipped T6. It's cheaper, more practical/versatile and more fun.
congratulations Autogeufhl I am from Bangladesh and I just subscribed to you!
welcome !!
Autogefühl thanks and do you know Bangladesh
After one month without internet connection,I have a lot of work (35 enjoyable videos from you!) :-D
Oh wow u got a lot of catching up to do :)
thomas making reviews cooler than ice :) cheers
+aby martin Way to go man thanks
"Whaaaaat !" lol.
Great job as usual Autgefühl !!
PS: I love the coat Thomas.
A precise review of a precise vehicle. Nice to see one in Germany. Agree you wouldn't want to try and park it in Marbella Spain or other large cities. Comfort is the key principle and MB have done studies on pulse rates in drivers that are lower in the Mercedes due to quiet comfort - a key concept.
+aspietoo 🙏🙏
Thomas,great video here in the USA we love big SUVs.I drive a tahoe.
+D Lynch yeah I saw that when I was the last time over pond. Everything is bigger in the U.S. :D
1:22 "Whaaaaaaaaat" first meme in Autogefühl's history
=)
Great review man! Very well done.
thanks keep joining us!
Hi Tomas,please when you are explaining about the tv screens , turn them to English. Thank you.
Great presentation! You got a new subscriber.
+Bending Unit 22 welcome!
Love the GLS but its outdated! looking for the new GLS to arrive (2018/ 2019)! but seems New GLE will be introduced anytime soon.
Great review. I agree with others. Audi Q7 would be my choice but the GLS will smash it in the US.
thanks andrew!
We (my family and I) have a 2016 GL350 Bluetec. We love it! However, our lease is up soon and we are looking to replace it. The sad thing is, we don't get the 300/350d in the USA, and with such a big vehicle, the gas consumption is quite large. We would love a new GLS, but the gas consumption as well as price are a little too much. What are some good GLS alternatives? We love the Benzes as much as the next person, but in the real world, we can't all be driving Mercs.
Hei Thomas can you pinky please do a M4/M3 review?! :D maybe for the future some comparison videos would be cool.
Hey m8, let s what we can do. A normal 3-Series review or the Hybrid would also be great
I really don’t like the massive merc emblem on the front of the car nor the bulky dash screen, the modern inbuilt screen are much nicer.
Fantastic review, as always!🙄
+TheThornbird21 thanks!
Very nice review Thomas ! Whaaaaaaat ?? Car looks nice, a bit clumsy square and gigantic. I might prefer the lines of the Q7 or even better sq7. What's your favorite interior ?
=)
I'd love the beige Artico / MBTex (so bright colour as seen here but with the sustainable material and without the uncomfortable quilting, check GLS 400 / 450 in the configurator with beige Artico!)
THIS IS BETTER THAN GL. THE FRONT IS HIGHER
I have the GLE 550 and I prefer the GLE more than GLS
Great car...but a little expensive considering it's starting to look dated! Great quality but no auto dimming wing/rear view mirror....you can get that on a Toyota Carola. Until the redesign it is behind the XC90 in terms of quality and comfort, in my view.
Thanks for the review
I hope I get one
Ultimate top model. I'd drive it for sure its costs real money
what an excellent review thomas!! I've been waiting this GLS review for so long.
Would you choose this car over the Lexus LX? I need your insight on this one. Danke!
thanks! Havent driven the LX, only RX: th-cam.com/video/5pyKw4gWcXo/w-d-xo.html
lookin forward to that review of LX :DD
Cant wait to finally see new sat nav and all of those super modern features from S and E class in Mercedes SUVs. Now they are not worth such money if we have for example Q7 on the market.
Just look at the dashboard 10:00 ... Cmon Mercedes! its 2017, not 2005 :)
Well they are FINALLY giving it a redesign in 2019!
Incredibly thorough video. amazing
+Future Chief of Surgery Philosopher that's what we do, thanks!!
Autogefühl You do it well!
spread the word for us! :)
Great review. We take delivery next wk of a 2019 450. Thx
Thanks! Cool, enjoy!
EXCELLENT REVIEW !
+Tom Morgan join us for more Tom ;)
2027 dreams...
😏😏😏
Thomas puts his body into harms way to demonstrate the tailgate safety features!! Great review but this vehicle is basically a school bus that should only come in school bus yellow....
all 4 u !
Im loving yr collar flicked up black coat today Thomas
=)
kevin to Got that vampire look going on...the accent helps a little too.
Great review Thomas like always. I feel European cars are always so much better. I might be from Canada but can't really see myself going back to North American cars again lol.
thanks pal !
Thomas great review, but I'm waiting for your BMW 5 series touring, hope it's in the pipeline!
Sure is! 8 hours left :)
How do you think this compares to the Volvo XC90?
My parents have the GLS 450
Thank you Thomas
thanks pal !
I like your reviews so calm and so detailed. Just one small thing please try to use word "also" less often
thanks will do =)
Jeez Thomas that car makes you look small
=)
"A little in the hood." Haha...Can't argue with that. Looks like a tooth pick sticking out of someone's mouth. As usual, a fair review. Keep up the good work Thomas.
=)
Kudos for doing the entire review in English, which is clearly not your first language ;-)
thanks, please share :)
everywhere is mercedes benz, bmw in all countries, europe asia & america,africa not just germania
Well explained each and every detail
cheers!
Great review, great SUV, I'm a fan of your reviews... But what did you mean by running board looks Hood?
+TheKingkingg thanks! The side boards maybe?
I detest sports car style cues on SUVs, yeah that splitter is really going to do you so much good 5 inches off the ground.
You want to make an SUV aerodynamic, give it a rounded nose that transitions into a flat undertray.
Oh yeah, we had a 2012 GL550, that suspension left much to be desired. Horribly under dampened, it would rock side to side horribly for upwards of a second with every bump.
Autofefuhl, would the Range Rover be a competitor to the GLS? Since both are similar size and have air suspension how do they compare in terms of comfort level and reliability. I have heard various opinions about the reliability of Land Rover vehicles. What are your thoughts?
Sure u could say so. There are different reliability ratings but its always hard who to trust
What happened to the NEW Audi sq5, came out earlier this year and not one has done an review for it.
Review is scheduled for beginning of June
Definitely, my , Dream, Car
I was going to ask Autogefuehl to review the GLS but I forgot then the next day when I open TH-cam it'salready there! Now I have a request, can you compare this with the Q7? Cheers!
=)
See our Q7 reviews here: th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=audi+q7+autogefuehl
***** what is your opinion about the Q7 design compared to this GLS?
RB26DETT I like the benz styling more however the q7 looks smaller
***** I'm considering XC90 too, XC90 has great exterior, interior and safety too but I don't know the off road performance of the XC90, I'm trying to find videos about it
The 450 model
