The model
Read full New Mercedes GLS reviewThe Mercedes GLS has an impressively punchy and smooth diesel engine, and its smart interior will comfortably accommodate seven occupants, but the build quality and ride comfort disappoint for a luxury SUV of this price. The 450d makes the most sense in AMG Line Premium Plus trim.
The trim
See full equipmentThis mid-level trim adds even more luxury, especially for those who prefer to be driven. This includes ventilated and massaging middle row seats, heated third-row seats, sunblinds for the rear door windows, a pair of screens mounted on the back of the front seats and a rear tablet to control all the functions. You also get 23 in wheels and a heated steering wheel.
