Such an underrated channel. The reviewer is the best.
feel free to recommend ! :)
Some of the best reviews on TH-cam.
Very passionate
Outdated interior. Still waiting for the new GLS and GLE
We will present you the all-new GLE as I said in the video very soon :)
Love it when a german does a review of a german car… a massive Merc fan, have a GTS and a GLS 500…
a german car made in USA 😂
My dad had a 2007 GL 420 cdi, it was amazing! Good in off road, despite his dimensions, and a very powerful and rich of torque engine. It was also a very comfortable vehicle, I remember that there were infinite ways to adjust the seats. I really miss the GL!
Autogefühl number 1, wunderbar!
Thomas delivers another legendary review. Sets the standard.
🙏
MB needs to upgrade the interior in this vehicle already.. It doesn't meet the price!!
Since the new GLE is coming soon this too will be replaced shortly. The vehicle needs to run its model life of 7 years.
Nice review Thomas...what a brand brotherhood i'm feeling right now..
So pleasant to watch your reviews.
Thanks!
great walkthrough as always. Please do the new range rover vogue if you get the opportunity.
He's so adorbs whenever he says "In hd, in full screen, in full length, lesgo."
Of course GL owners alike will recognize this special button on the drivers door as the rear side windows that open outwards slightly - in the R-class days these same side vent windows came automatically with the panoramic sunroof option and I wouldn't be surprised it's still specified that way with the glass pano roof on the GL/GLS. My dogs like it open.
😎
As always a great review! I would love to see you review the GLS63 though :-)
Thank you Thomas Your Reviews Are The Best As Always
Great review again, thanks Thomas!
The button is to open the furthest rear window. I know because it’s the same on the r320i
This GLS makes my 2015 GLK look like a Golf. Massive.
Great review by Thomas...…………………
thanks john !
The back looks like a funeral vehicle. Perfect review as always. Love you Thomas,ahahaha
cheers =)
Thomas! You didn’t even stretch the cats legs a little!? Every person that buys this car buys it for the V8. Have some fun with it
That BMW convertible [22:52] looks cool
BTW, great review, Thomas
👍
👍
8:25 it sounds like he's saying big ass screen
Razvan Campan 😂😂😂 dude , that’s exactly what he said.
I''m very curious on what microphone you use? Your voice is always very clear. Also your videos are always a pleasing to watch as you are very informative easy to listen to. I'm looking forward to when you can get your hands on the GLS updates coming down the pipeline.
thanks! we re using Sennheiser AVX Set
th-cam.com/video/q8mbwezd_VY/w-d-xo.html
Outstanding car and as udual a very good job in reviewing it...... By the way thank you so much for opening that sunroof glass in 24:03mn really loved it.
thanks Mohamed !
Superb review Thomas
Mercedes Benz is the best car because of its durability and reliability. German technology speaks for itself.
Your comment about owners letting in their branded vehicle, reminds me of this shocking intersection here in Newcastle NSW Australia which during peak times is on for very little time, which resulted in 3 light changes. I was in the left turn turning left when the lights turned red for the 3RD TIME!!!!
This vehicle pulls up braking very hard with left indicator on very close to my lane obviously thinking since I had an Audi as well I would let him in. This was 2 car lengths or 10 meters from the lights.
I did not let him in as he cannot expect me waiting SO long to let someone in when he just arrived-it doesn’t work this way. However if he had already been there before me then sure I would let him in even if it cost me another light change: such is life sometimes.
So brand snobbery does not work with me!
In other situations as long as they are not aggressive and indicate in advance of merging regardless of what brand it is I would brake and let them in no worries.
Just cannot stand these aggressive types!
0:30-0:33 I don't why but I thought the butterfly was a mouse cursor. Can't wait to finish this review.
enjoy =)
Oh this car is so old now. I reviewed the 350d in April 2016. Looking forward to a new generation GLS.
brand brotherhood. It definitely happens
Can't wait for the new Mercedes GLS to review, but thanks for reviewing the current GLS.
we ll keep u updated!
Oh thanks but i was trying to say cant wait for the release date, thanks for the instant reply :).
all-new GLE premiere for you from Paris on Oct. 1 - that will also lead the way for the new GLS I guess
Thank you looking forward to Oct 1 for the review!!
I always experience same brand courtesy 😆 It's really bizarre. Big fan of your channel here in the UK 👍🏼
cheers Darren =)
So sad that they won't offer non-AMG V8s going forward especially in E Class and GLE. The V8s are so nice. Miss the W212 E500.
The GLS350D AMG line also please.
Mercedes’s infotainment is packed full of features & so are the seats, you should’ve gone more in to depth in my opinion since this is a lengthy car review channel.
I was very sceptical about this car before viewing review, but it's such a great car for traveling for company of seven persons across Europe for example on holidays in great comfort. I had such experience in VW Golf with five persons, on middle rear, so I can imagine... :) Of course it's very expensive way of doing so... :)
When you test Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S 4MATIC :)
The thing that annoys me the most with Mercedes like this is the interior which is so outdated right now and cannot understand why they keep the design for the "hand brake" on the left side, but not with a proper button. It is so outdated.
I mean, after all you must pay around 100 000 euros and u get this interior build quality. Thats a shame.
Please review new C class with 1.5 Petrol, 48V electric mild hybrid?
Yes that one is already on our list and coming in a couple of weeks :)
So far, check our C-Class videos here (already got 3 of the new facelift)

Autogefühl I have turned the notification on. I never miss your reviews irrespective of the car you are reviewing.
thats how it's supposed to be! :)
I'm getting 2020 GLS 550
Awesome! Have you got it? 🤗
10:25 Hashtag Thomas in the rear seat haha
haha =)
Please review Audi RS5 sportback, or perhaps vs RS5 coupe. Dark green would be great:)
Surely with the abundant torque an electric motor gives this could be used when vehicle is stopped or just about stopped up to the light load level where the engine (reduced in size) takes over to do the cruising, then if extra demand is needed, say for overtaking the two rear electric motors could instantly cut in until the load is light again in which it cuts out.
Of course regeneration occurs when braking to charge the electric storage.
Also when the vehicle is very lightly loaded and detects a shallow or greater decline the engine would power another generator while at the same time transferring drive to the rear electric motors which are lightly loaded due to the decline, during this time the petrol or Diesel engine (most likely a better choice) would operate at optimum rpm to generate charge for the battery. If the vehicle continues and 1/ decelerates the rear motors also regenerate until stopped or accelerated the vehicle until the lightly loaded condition.
Or 2/ the vehicle continues the slope using lightly loaded electric motors while the diesel generates more power in its optimum rpm.
This large generator/motor can disconnect from the drivetrain via a soft smart disconnect/reconnect to eliminate drivetrain vibration, while the main generator/motor can power the front wheels to make it electric 4x4 when in rough slow terrain using its immense motor torque with the other 2 rear motors all the time sensing the current supplied to the motor to detect for lack of traction (current drops, hence waits for movement sensor to detect wheel movement in which the current is supplied to match the other rear wheel initially then both half in 1/100 ths of a second to resume normal drive.
The front generator will aportion the torque to whichever front wheel has most traction via the current ABS system that is being used.
Once traction is possible by 2WD front and the rpm can suit the diesels efficiency band then the rear electric motors only come on when needed for 4x4 traction, so this way it will be 2WD diesel for as much as possible with the electrics only coming on for increased torque when required from the driver/ increased speed or when on decent in which the diesel shuts off and all 3 electric motors become generators.
So this system is 4x4 electric with diesel maximum 2WD front, where the front axle can be purely diesel driven or purely electric driven with any combination thereof.
The reason why the diesel does not drive all 4 is purely for the smaller engine size being matched mainly for efficient front electric motor generation when the rear wheels can provide drive.
However all 3 electric motors and the diesel can be engaged for maximum torque that cannot be provided by the 3 motors alone.
Still 5008 would be my choice in this segment. It is way much cheaper and at the same time it looks nicer on the ex- and interior. Especially on the interior.
I’m holding out for the all new GLS. Hopefully a Plugin Hybrid and the E/S class cockpit
Yep, es stimmt, Thomas! Die Marken-Brother-Hood habe ich auch schon erfahren. Ich fahr' Audi und ein anderer Audi-Fahrer hat mir beispielsweise am See ein Parkplatz-Ticket einfach so überlassen. Darauf habe ich zu ihm gemeint: Wir Audi-Fahrer müssen schließlich zusammenhalten. Die Frau und ihr Mann mussten dann lachen... ;-)
hihi
Ich hatte vor Jahren einen 2004 Ford Excursion, etwas hoeher gelegt, mit Reifen wie fuer einen Lastwagen... Dagegen sah jeder andere SUV aus wie ein Spielzeug. Keiner hatte mich reingelassen. In Berlin schnauzte mich eine Frau durchs offene Fenster an, nannte mich Idiot, dass ich so ein sch... Auto fahre. Aber ich konnte auch einfach losfahren und jeder machte stop, ohne sich zu beschweren... ;) Heute fahre ich einen Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage und alle lassen mich rein.
Hi Thomas don't you think some Mercedes modeld are way too expensive for what they are? i mean the quality of materials and the technology is so out dated... why to pay 90.000 for such a car?
Karen Panama I agree. Switchgear and layout is not stylish at all. Looks basic and plastic city.
This has great quality. Also remember that this generation of GLS is 7 years old. They're not going to charge less simply because it is older.
Agree. Great car, but too expensive in general
I think the misterious button is for the third row window vents 😁
Very nice and honest review! Do we really need to drive a v8 engines in city ?
Thanks!
I thought the button was to open all windows simultaneously, like in a convertible. It would have been nice to see more of the infotainment system.
BIG ASS SCREEN. lmao
❤❤❤❤ that 🚘 ! Vroom!
When this model was redone, I thought that the dash layout, center stack, and trim already looked dated, and now almost looks vintage...and not the good kind.
It was just a FACELIFT. The interior and everything else was never meant to change drastically since it was not an all new model. The GLS was just a facelift of the GL of this generation. Every car model has a 7 year life span.
SDav21 yes I understand, but actually I was saying it looked dated back then, as a brand new model, and now worse than just dated.
@@golfbuddy1969 It didn't. 7 years ago this was a very stylish and modern looking vehicle. Remember this is 7 years old!
Which one had the most comfortable ride, the GLS or the Q7?
Interior is so ancient, such a deal breaker. Q7 is way better
my mom has the gl that button over there is to open the back back windows yes they open
Thomas hi, what is your recommendation for the additional option to set up the individual mode in the GSL 500? Not sure about the extras you had in this test car, but there are pretty many additional functions that make your ride so much more comfortable.
Set all on comfort :)
DO THE SAME VIDEO WITH GLE 350D
How good is the Harman Kardon System?
You know what will good on this car? Some real exhausts and a diffuser.
That interior looks very dated. When will the next gen be out, and will it have the S class interior?
At 22:40 you say in traffic there could be two Smart four two's which is correct. Look at it another way though. There could be only one person in each so if you take a passenger it's the same space on the road but the GLS only needs one parking space. If you take seven people you need four Smart for two's.
Cars with more seats are better for traffic but only if they use most of those seats.
Yeah
Dear Thomas, how many watches do you own? I love nice watches myself. I see that you have some different watches?!? I am a TISSOT fan! :-)
Btw, I love you videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers! Check video description:)
In 20 years we all drive with trucks. For sure the polution is very good for the health...
If I only could afford this one...
thats a lot of space! you can put a full mattress in there and sleep
This car requires an urgent update to keep up with the MB lineup and competition, specially the interior looks completely outdated and cheap for the price tag. The best advice would be to wait for the next generation or get something else
since when does it have amg 6 piston front brakes? all of those that i've seen and the two I've owned has two piston floating Caliper front brakes
The button is for back glass
But of course this GLS gen is now sort of pointless, as the new GLS has been spied testing, it's not far away from announcement/launch.
The GLE will premiere first. This might take a while still until you can drive an all-new GLS.
As mentioned in the video, it will be useful for anyone looking to buy this generation of GLS
Fair enough. I didn't mean the video is pointless, I just meant this generation of GLS. Autogefuhl make great reviews!
Haha that’s awesome that an other Mercedes let you pass!
Great car, but interior must be changed
Wonder why they haven't updated this, looks really dated - guess it still sells well in China and US
Why is there a review of this GLS now, this model has been out for years?
Havent u heard what i said ? :)
brand bruddas
Carbon fiber trim do reduce the weight? :D
haha yes
Hi Thomas,please review new bentley continental gt 2019.i like mercedes benz GLS and i wait new mercedes benz GLS.Bye bye
Hey Thomas. Any news on the porsche 992 launch (oficial photos) and will you be/were invited to the presentation. Regards from Azores, Portugal.
I hope so! We ll keep u updated
We ll keep u updated!
New Ram looks more comfortable lol
This button is 4 last rear windows
I know what do you mean!
Good for taxi?
OMG what is that interior. Is there a calculator in the middle? :D :D :D I dont like it,
The interior looks so old... (if to compare with new A class)
That's because this model is 7 years old. The new one comes next year.
Where have you been?
Holiday?
summer season is not that active in car presentations =)
And next week Mercedes sweep this one under the rug and boast about how sustainable they are with the EQC.
Okay...?
Only 360p
not anymore... sometimes takes a while. Should be fixed now if you reload
Same here
Aaaaand its happening again. New model is coming so companies / dealers are super willing to give old cars for reviews :) And thats okay as long as they have super attractive offer for outcoming models. Otherwise its just not fair for people who are not too familiar with automotive industry and news.
And this not an attack, Thomas. I hope you understand my point.
Actually I requested this vehicle since people were asking me to compare the V8. So just a viewer's wish, nothing else :)
So that is great! Hopefully they will get great offers from dealership :)
Cant wait to see how Merc will ruin the the new GLS a years from now.
What a long title for this car!
It's a long car...
The BMW x7 will make this model look like it's past due by a decade ..I really don't understand why Mercedes doesn't implement a s class design, same with the GLE
The X7 is new! This is 7 years old and a new model comes out next year which will make the X7 look 7 years old.
Now enjoy our X7 coverage: th-cam.com/video/J_XpNY0FUJs/w-d-xo.html
It's not in HD
It is. Try reloading :)
Seems to me the new Audi SQ8 is a far better vehicle in all areas, especially looks and technology. None the less, excellent review Thomas as always!
The Q8 is new. This is 7 years old. So we'll wait and see when the new GLS comes out next year.
cheers!
Does it have an RENAULT engin like X250?
Still no video for BMW 8 Series Coupé well I tried my best.
“Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup. ” Ludwig Van Beethoven
We will be on the driving launch on the 8 Series Coupé, but there is no schedule for that yet. Next BMW to come will be the all-new BMW X5 driving as well as the all-new BMW Z4.
Very disappointed that you suggest anyone would lie here.
Hey Autogefuehl roughly when will be driving event for the X5 and Z4 review?
X5 we can put online roughly at the end of next month
I think it's a good mix of old and new Mercedes. IMHO Mercedes new interiors are really ugly. And the exteriors are much too round. Exterior here is a really nice blend of the two design languages. A C or E in this design would be nice.
It's still an emberrasing car though :P
Article leather ? you mean artificial leather
Artico it is called, its a brand name
I've never understand the point of this car existing. It is just a more silent version, and probably slightly bigger, than the GLE and is worth so much money but has 2010 design ...
Because it has 7 seats and 6 foot adults can actually fit in the 2 seats right at the back unlike most other 7 seaters.
Real leather isn't as hot as synthetic leather
