MERCEDES BENZGLS (X167) 2019 - 2023

　　When it comes to full-size SUVs, there is one European brand that can really offer something suitable in this class regarding comfort and this is the Mercedes-Benz GLS.

　　Big, spacious and with a full load of luxury items inside, the Mercedes-Bens GLS is an “all or nothing” statement. The 2019 generation comes with an increase in the wheelbase of 60 mm (2.36 in) to offer more comfort for the three rows of occupants.

　　The big seven-seater is offered with loads of technology, starting with the engine and the electrical system, which is based on a 48-volt architecture. This is fed via a belt-driven starter-generator, which helps improve fuel consumption and lower emissions.

　　The GLS is offered with two gasoline engines for the North-American market, while two turbodiesel engines will be offered for Europe, Russia and other markets. The biggest engine is a gasoline V8 found in the GLS 580 4Matic and it offers 489 HP and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque. The smaller one, an inline-six, in the GLS 450 4Matic, comes with 367 HP and 500 Nm (368.8 lb-ft) of torque. Both variants benefit from the intelligent starter-generator system, which adds 22 HP and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque for a short period of time.

　　On the inside, 11.6 in screens are fitted for the rear seats and the latest MBUX infotainment system is available, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
