My wife got a new GLS580 last weekend (AMG package, 23" wheels, massaging seats, driver assist....), in Polar white. She wanted a larger SUV from her X3 for the grandkids & strollers. Buying it also allowed me to sell our F150 CrewCab off road pickup (6" lift), as it will meet all our needs for shopping, hauling, transporting, and towing. Was able to consolidate the X3 and F150 into a single vehicle, which will actually allow our family trips towing the boat more comfortable, and reduce our vehicle count in the driveway.
Wich motorisation would you choose for family car? V8 seems to me like an hungry overkill. V6 is available in gasoline and in diesel too. What to choose?
When the sun hits the dashboard ( from over your left shoulder, for example) the display brightness sensor is in the front windshield ( I guess, like on my other 2019 Mercedes car ) and it doesn't automatically adjust to the highest or higher brightness, so this big gorgeous display is useless, because you don't see anything on it?
I usually put out the front wheel and then it fits in most trunks with 2nd row down. Without rear wheel hmm... could work. Why dont you check the interior part and compare the lengths I took? I gave the length in m/cm for end to 2nd row up
Might be best to go back to the “GL” name. Great SUV but it’s a far cry from an S-Class with respect to the interior quality. The GLC closely matches the C-class and the GLE is near the E-class. But this is just a slightly larger GLE in my opinion. Lots of hard plastic and rough leather.
tibchy144 yea lol. I expect the interior to be as good or better than my C63 which has only smooth nappa leather (no wrinkles) and no “obvious” plastic trim. Just like you see in an S-class, which is what they want you to think this is as the GL”S”
test drove both X7 and GLS. I ordered a X7. Why - better interior quality. Feels more modern inside. The active rear wheel steering in the X7 made the car feel to be 1 meter shorter than the GLS I drove. The Executive drive pro does everything the air carpet ride does, just a bit more agile. Last not least, just prefered the look of the X7, personally I think it looks a bit younger. But that's a matter of taste.
Quality ? Lmao I had a M5 , entire sunroof mechanism failed. $12k repair covered under warranty My x5m engine blew. Yup. It fcking basically imploded , $26k under warranty not to mention the dealer had to give me a brand new 550i as a loaner that I drove for 3 months. Lmao BMW is prob known for having the worst quality .. hence why most only lease it and get rid of . Just in time before the warranty goes
VEry good review- however the focus for me was to compare the 2 cars ....which is not answered in the review per se...could have focussed/given a little more time and input ot that

All Mercs will beat BMWs; the only thing which is sexier in BMW is its engine noise; one burst run flat tyre costed me a few thousand dollars to replace it; I will never buy BMW again
The rear end styling seems weird, eerily reminiscent of a fat person sitting on a barstool. And, by the way, Thomas, most of the rest of the world refers to “animal skin” as leather.
I am just revealing the true origin of this material. First, check out what the leather industry is trying to do: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html Below this video you'll find more resources in the pinned comment to explain the topic even more in-depth.

The bouncing suspension would surely cool heads during heavy traffic
I always love a good Thomas review.
The Best or Nothing 👍
Very good job Thomas 👏
You true
Best is x7
Hi which SUV has most floaty and softest ride the 2020 Gle or the 2020 Gls
far better looking than BMW in mine opinion👍 Many thanks for great review goes to whole Autogefuhl team!
I agree! :D
Can you make video of the x7 ? Your review is awesome, I enjoyed a lot😍
sure, enjoy these 2:

th-cam.com/video/L9-SarotiMI/w-d-xo.html
This car actually looks better in real life than on tv. In fact all mercedes look better in reality than on tv...
Strictly about ride quality, is GLS or Range Rover most similar to the S-Class sedan?
Which has a more softer ride and floats like a magic carpet ride on roads the 2020 benz Gle 450 or 2020 benz Gls 450
Using same technology
My personal view Is that the New GLS Is better than the Audi Q7 as It starting to feel It age
just like the looking of this generation mercedes. Gut gemacht, Zetsche!
Great review : keep it up I really enjoyed it
👌
Great review! A more detailed comparison and your thoughts vs the X7 would be really helpful.
Thanks! See the longer version here: th-cam.com/video/bk41_NSg3uY/w-d-xo.html
And the X7: th-cam.com/video/UgoursKjfss/w-d-xo.html
Bei Minute 14:36 hast du ein Stopschild übersehen!
Dancing with the Benz......Great video.
thanks! =)

All german cars reviews must be made by a German guy speaking in English - the accent makes it much cooler 😉
Ahwee dwive? really?
@@robertblake1228 You need to clean your ears!
I like white color.... and blue.....
Great Video Review. The USA Is a great location for filming the video
sure is!!
Will there fit my full suspension bike without wheels, when second row of seats is not folded? Wheel base of my bike is 124cm.

BMW X7 is better, you just can't beat the quality and for that price it's all about quality
Are you merely speaking preference or facts and if so, what are your sources?
A BMW x7 can’t dethrone a Mercedes Benz GLS, never the GLS is king in this Segment the x7 looks like a beaver with its hideous front grille

Skywalker Z worst vehicle I’ve ever owned its a BMW X5 since then I’m stuck with Mercedes Benz

Thanks! If you want to have more information, watch this: th-cam.com/video/bk41_NSg3uY/w-d-xo.html
Hello, nice video, I would like to know which Mercedes´s SUV is the top of the gamma, confort, tech, offroad. thanks
It’s the G wagon.
I would recommend for you to do 4K videos, rather than in HD, as for those watching it on TV since it makes a big difference. Thanks.
Not possible due to limited bandwidth :( Welcome to 2019 ....
Our camera tech is ready for 4K since 5 years...
Autogefuel I am from the US and I am guessing your videos are developed from Germany. That might explain it.
We do 60p for US TV viewers intentionally. Noone else in Germany does that :)
We do 4K as soon as bandwidth improves
cant wait for the maybach version of this. im all in.
Huh when would this be out?? Would be epic 😎
Beauty by benz, far better than x7
I vote for bmw X7
I particularly like the exterior and the Interior design
4:14 489hp not 589hp
489 it is
The front doesn't scream premium for me
Beautiful GLS, big step up from the previous gen.

Beat the X7? Naaaa
Is it just me? I felt the interior X7 is better.
@@chuyahui definitely
DJ Thomas got swag! Whooping it up on the trails with the air suspension. Wished my glk could do that. Whoop whoop!
👌😎
It's a tough job you have Tomas, I don't know how you cope.
cheers! Keeping up the effort for you guys!
Another fantastic well presented review. But Thomas, please give us your opinion. This or the X7?
Thanks! I went more in-depth on that question in the longer version: th-cam.com/video/bk41_NSg3uY/w-d-xo.html
BRAVO JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Nice ride 👍
Price of GLS580 I'd buy if I had the cash, about $109k. Car Review dude blowing stop sign at around 14:30, PRICELESS....LOL.
Slightly awkward that you didn't acknowledge them thanking you for making room.
??
I was maybe very busy handling the car? Ever been in such a situation?
Gls,x7 ?
compare it here: th-cam.com/video/L9-SarotiMI/w-d-xo.html
@@autogefuel Thank you^^
Who you say Merc wins ?
I'd rather have the new Durango srt.
Funny you mention that because I currently own the 2016 R/T AWD and its awsome.
That should be compared to the GLS because they are both unibody SUVs that seats seven.
It beats it easy mercedes win
Mercedes 💓
All Mercs will beat BMWs; the only thing which is sexier in BMW is its engine noise; one burst run flat tyre costed me a few thousand dollars to replace it; I will never buy BMW again
I will get X7 10 out of 10times

This car looks ugly, the tail light sucks. This car only carries the mercedes badge. Nothing spectacular at all
Your mom ugly
Deutsches Auto, deutscher Sprecher
Und man spricht nicht auf der ganzen Welt Deutsch :)
X7 still the best

X7 the best far away....
