I previously owned a 2018 GLS 550. The suspension was too soft in comfort mode felt too mushy but too stiff (for me) in the sport setting. I've had this 2021 GLS 63 since January. In my opinion AMG got it perfect for me in the comfort mode. This is the best vehicle I've owned ever! Comfort, Luxury, Performance. One thing I don.t get is the fuel mileage claimed. I personally get 18 city and 21.5 hwy. My GLS 550 got 2 mpg less driving the same routes.
I forgot to mention that I ordered the vehicle with the 22 inch wheels. Not the 23's because I saw many reviews that said the 23's had too harsh of a ride.
We are all amazed by your power duo presentation. With that said I wish I had listened to my MB sales person and bought this last year. I live in the States. The GLS 63 AMG has been discontinued. What’s can I say ? Good things don’t last for ever.
@@kevinn1158 they’re two different target markets. In that price range, a difference of $6-10k is not going to make a difference in which GLS someone is going to purchase. Sorry that you can’t comprehend this.
@@teriok6783 what chew talkin bout bro? I priced a GLS Maybach up to 230k. That other econobox could only get up to 170k. You’d see yourself comin and goin everywhere in the hood. Maybach or nothin.
@@kevinn1158 I don’t think you’ve done adequate homework. Base price of the GLS Maybach-$161,550. They are two different vehicles. One is to be driven in the other is to be the driver. Nearly equal mechanics with a little firmer suspension setup on the AMG version. The Maybach has cosmetic upgrades.
Amazing review of the GLS - awesome exterior design and amazing interior. My neighbor just bought his 4th or 5th GL(S) - He enjoy driving it. Only con is the price - even the non-AMG is expensive! Great review Andrea and Zack!
Great review as usual. As much as what the consumers want in a high-performance upper luxury SUVs, it still doesn't replace the ultimate status symbol of a Mercedes S-Class. S-Class has always been the trendsetter, when it comes to forward thinking technologies. But GLS is more of a marketing-driven luxury SUVs.
I love your reviews, lovely car a monster in beauty and grace, British Columbia, if you guys can do road trips in lovely countryside in the Province would show the beautiful scenery of Western Canada, many thanks and love from Amman - Jordan 🇯🇴 🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👌🏻👍🏻
It could be nitpicking but I don't like a/c vents placed at the back of the center bin of the front row seats. The vents should be located on the headliner for both second and third row seats. I find it much faster to bring the temperature down this way.
I've own several Mercedes. My last one was a ML. My last service was $6000.00. The estimate to repair the sun roof was $12K......yeah, $12K. So, we purchased two Toyota 4 runners. Reliability, safety, low maintenance and great resale. We can afford just about anything we want but, I don't like throwing money away. If you go German.........after your warranty is over..........get out your checkbook.
This is a powerful, luxury SUV! It's definitely on our future vehicle purchase list! I agree on the wheels. Don't care for them. They're so many other options. Can't help but smile when I get my notifications! Oh, Canada! 🇺🇲❤🇨🇦
Where are you from? Mercedes use seat controllers in doors for over 30 years... Traditional shifter in center console? What for? Maybe you mean manual gearbox?? Otherwise this is waste of space..
one of the most classy Mercedesses next to an S. Mercedes is very good quality, you'll never hear people complain. That is different with Audi and BMW.
Excellent review as always! We have an S580 and GLS…the S is still the flagship in both interior design and ride quality, but the GLS is a tremendous SUV. We replaced a Lexus LX and see the GLS as distinct upgrade. Would be interested in comparison to new LX…would be a close call. Have had only one S63 AMG and felt like the AMG treatment was a little out of sync with luxury aspect of the vehicle. Thanks for all the information!
I have new S580 and want to change to SUV and am considered this. Wish I could have them both but can’t. Been a S driver 10+ years a little scared for the change. Just love this car and it’s height and size.
I have seen all your videos. I noticed that you have tried Audi sq7, Cadillac escalade, bmw x7, and this mercedes. which one is considered to be the best
I'm going with ZZ Top: She got legs.... (Take it easy Zach, I'm just stating the obvious) ;) :) Always have loved the GLS in AMG version, just never have had any use of such a big SUV. They truly are family haulers packing up gears for a week long trip. Really nice cars, love the design, the somewhat menacing presence of it, have had one of these in my back view mirror, I bounced off to the right lane quicker than lighting, it was simply moe' powa' baby that I couldn't mess around with... :) :) :) Nice review all in all, always enjoying your make-sense arguments instead of filling a 20+min "review" with a bunch of BS and repeating same thing 534354 times over juuuuuuuuuuuust to tick the 20 min vid box.
Awesome video! I love the 2nd row but I laughed at Zack was siting the 3rd row. The digital screen looks almost similar to one of Cadillac. I would rent this for a long trip tho or I could be your limousine driver. 😉👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
The GLS inherently has a soft, rounded look but the black exterior trim and retro AMG hammer wheels help this thing look a bit more aggressive. Also I'm not impressed with the dash being lifted straight from the lesser GLE. My pick in this space would be the Alpina X7.
it looks just like my car minus the amg badge lol it's crazy how mercedes gets us to upgrade... personally I won't be getting this one for that I would get the maybach
Bought a ‘25 GLS 63 yesterday. $180k out the door, including 7yr/100k OEM extended warranty, 4 yr OEM prepaid maintenance and 7 yr MB branded “First Class” wheel & tire protection backed by Safeguard. It was a gift for my wife. She likes MB, wants to have a 3 row SUV, and doesn’t like any of American Big 3 SUVs. Comment below if you think I’m crazy.
These are the best wheels in a very long time. The OG Monoblocks are classic and just badass. The current 5-star AMG wheels are so dated and boring...it's time for something new. Put these on a E-class wagon and i'm sold!
Great review as always Andrea and Zack. Wow, stunning looking vehicle. Unfortunately way out of my price range though. Maybe when I win the lottery, until then I'll just continue dreaming.
Ugg, all those colored LED interior lights? On film looks so tacky - Las Vegas on wheels. Hoping it's a little more subtle in person. Not that I am looking into buying one any time soon. But at this price a reliability rating of 71/100? Overall 76/100? Please! More money than brains to buy one. But I guess to each his own.
One time I walked into a Brooks Brothers store and I saw a really nice shirt and a sales associate walked over to me and asked if I'd like to try it out or if I already knew my size measurements. Of course I told her that I knew my exact size and asked the price because there was no price tag on the clothing nor the table it was laid out on. She said' "$299.99". I asked her; 'seriously, what's the price'? She calmly walked behind the sales counter and came back with a catalog with the pricing. So I asked, if I get a free suit with this shirt or something... She politely stated that maybe I should check out other stores for prices within my 'range'. That was my first lesson in goods of ostentation. This Benz SUV is a good of ostentation and if you have to ask the price, you probably can't afford it. Starts @ $132K???!!!
That depreciation though, ouch. When shopping for a new car we drove audi Mercedes and BMW. But ended up lexus for that reason. The Mercedes does have interiors mastered though.
I saw one in a parking lot. It’s massive!! I think those wheels are hideous. LOL. I’d rather have a GLE 63s with classic Benz multispoke wheels. :) Nice review!
I gotta say those night life photos look great because it's presented with a nice environment and in vignettes. But when I look at the entire MB interior at the same time, it's really not for me because it's too much disco look. It's like a person with waaaaaay too much make up on.
My neighbor across the street has the previous gen one of these, two other AMGs and a couple other gas guzzlers, he just put a bunch of solar panels all over his roof but he doesn't own a single electric car. I'm not sure how that works? 🤔
Terry Krinsky you ask that question then it's not for you. It's about status? Geez man if buy vehicles based on that crap unreal. Pure performance you're not into it then don't buy it. Do you see the value? That alone you can't afford so don't worry about it. A poser? Wow you have strange ideas about why people buy. Shifter is perfect and so are seat controls....wow
It no way this is only 16Liters/100km in the city this is easy 20liters+ /100km, I had the previous gle 63 amg 5.5L B/Turbo and driving really really gently I got 18-20 l/100 the pends of traffic and when you driving normal or a little faster and have fun you go easy 25-30 L/100km in the city, the nr what they show is from paper dealer
I’m reporting this video for misinformation 😂. You said “they’re not going to show dirt because they’re black” when talking about the wheels. You couldn’t be more wrong.

I never thought of AMG as status. Just quality, and performance, from it's hand built motor and stitching
Ya ridiculous statement I agree
those mid 90’s amg wheels are siiick
I love how this specific GLS 63 doesn't have a bunch of carbon fibre put all over the dash instead it has this very nice dark wood trim.

Great review of the Mercedes GLS 63 AMG 👏
If you have the bucks and need such a beast, its hard to beat.
Thanks so much! Absolutely if you have the bucks, why not!
It could be nitpicking but I don't like a/c vents placed at the back of the center bin of the front row seats. The vents should be located on the headliner for both second and third row seats. I find it much faster to bring the temperature down this way.
There is also one in the B pillar to plow in the passenger, third row also has dual vents. The pano roof prevents roof vents
The wheels give this SUV a nice stance. I don’t like their design, though.
The dish wheels are AMG classics. Like them
I've own several Mercedes. My last one was a ML. My last service was $6000.00. The estimate to repair the sun roof was $12K......yeah, $12K. So, we purchased two Toyota 4 runners. Reliability, safety, low maintenance and great resale. We can afford just about anything we want but, I don't like throwing money away.

How would you compare the GLS (probably the non-AMG) to the range rover? No one ever compares the two
Monoblock wheels are all the rage now. The new fashion. I saw 2 MB's in NY with those wheels.
I like the wheels
Please compare gls 63 and g63
Where are you from? Mercedes use seat controllers in doors for over 30 years... Traditional shifter in center console? What for? Maybe you mean manual gearbox?? Otherwise this is waste of space..
C'mon guys, it's an AMG & not a four pot diesel, let's hear some revs.
Instead, we get to hear about the sound system :-(
perfect review guys .
when coming to specs of the car plz display the numbers in the video so which we can determine which car could be perfect for us thank u gud reviews.
