2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS represents the pinnacle of the brand's full-size luxury SUV offerings, providing opulent comfort, robust performance, and cutting-edge technology for up to seven passengers. It's a vehicle designed for those who demand space, refinement, and a commanding presence on the road.

Highlights

  • Powertrain Options: The GLS offers a choice of powerful and smooth powertrains, ensuring a capable drive for various needs.

    • GLS 450 4MATIC: Powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine producing 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers a balanced blend of performance and efficiency for everyday driving.
    • GLS 550 4MATIC: Features a formidable 4.7-liter biturbo V8 engine delivering 449 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This option provides significantly more acceleration and towing capability.
    • Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC: The performance-oriented variant boasts a hand-built 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine, outputting a massive 577 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. This AMG model transforms the GLS into a true performance SUV.
    • All GLS models are equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes-Benz's renowned 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system as standard, ensuring confident traction in all conditions.
  • Advanced Safety Features: The 2018 GLS is equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance and safety technologies designed to enhance awareness and prevent accidents.

    • PRE-SAFE®: This innovative system can detect an impending collision and proactively prepare the vehicle by tightening seatbelts, adjusting seats, and closing windows to optimize occupant protection.
    • Active Brake Assist (ABA): Utilizes radar and camera sensors to detect potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes if the driver doesn't respond, helping to mitigate or avoid impacts.
    • Attention Assist: Monitors driving behavior and alerts the driver with visual and audible cues if it detects signs of drowsiness, encouraging them to take a break.
    • Blind Spot Assist: Warns the driver when another vehicle is detected in their blind spot, displayed through visual indicators in the side mirrors.
    • Lane Keeping Assist: Helps prevent unintentional lane departures by applying gentle steering input if the vehicle drifts out of its lane without the turn signal activated.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control (DISTRONIC PLUS®): Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting acceleration and braking to keep pace.
  • Trim Summary: The 2018 GLS lineup offers distinct levels of luxury and performance:

    • GLS 450 4MATIC: The entry point into the GLS experience, offering excellent comfort and a capable V6 engine, making it a refined daily driver.
    • GLS 550 4MATIC: Steps up the luxury and performance with a more potent V8 engine, enhanced interior features, and often a more sophisticated exterior styling.
    • Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC: The ultimate expression of the GLS, featuring exclusive AMG styling cues, an extremely powerful V8 engine, and a sport-tuned suspension for an exhilarating driving experience.
  • Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious and Luxurious Interior: The GLS offers a cabin crafted with high-quality materials, ample seating for seven passengers, and generous cargo space, making it ideal for families and road trips.
    • Comfortable Ride Quality: The sophisticated suspension system provides a smooth and composed ride, effectively absorbing road imperfections.
    • Advanced Infotainment System: The COMAND® infotainment system offers intuitive control over navigation, audio, climate, and connectivity features, often paired with a premium Harman Kardon® or Bang & Olufsen® sound system.
    • Impressive Towing Capacity: The GLS is a capable tow vehicle, particularly in GLS 550 and AMG GLS 63 configurations, making it suitable for towing boats, campers, or other recreational equipment.

What to Expect

Owning a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS is generally characterized by a premium and comfortable experience. The vehicle's robust engineering and high-quality materials contribute to a lasting sense of luxury.

  • Maintenance: As with most luxury vehicles, scheduled maintenance is crucial for keeping the GLS in optimal condition. Expect regular oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, and tire rotations. The cost of maintenance can be higher than for non-luxury brands, reflecting the specialized parts and expertise required. It's advisable to find a reputable Mercedes-Benz dealer or a qualified independent mechanic specializing in European vehicles. For peace of mind, consider extending the warranty or exploring maintenance packages offered by Mercedes-Benz.

  • Insurance: Insurance premiums for the GLS will likely be higher than for a standard sedan or smaller SUV due to its luxury classification, powerful engines, and advanced technology. Factors such as your driving record, location, the specific trim level chosen, and the chosen coverage levels will significantly influence the cost. It's recommended to get quotes from multiple insurance providers to find the best coverage at a competitive rate.

  • Typical Ownership Experience: Owners can expect a smooth, quiet, and powerful driving experience, with a refined cabin that insulates occupants from road and wind noise. The advanced safety features provide a sense of security, and the versatile interior seating and cargo configurations make it practical for various lifestyle needs. The GLS is a comfortable cruiser, adept at long-distance travel.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS excels in many areas, potential buyers should be aware of a few aspects:

  • Fuel Economy: The powerful V6 and V8 engines, coupled with the vehicle's substantial size and weight, mean that fuel economy is not a strong suit. Owners should anticipate higher fuel consumption, especially in city driving. The GLS 450 will be the most fuel-efficient option, while the AMG GLS 63 will naturally consume more fuel.

  • Infotainment Complexity (Initial): While the COMAND® system is feature-rich, some users may find it has a slight learning curve initially due to the sheer number of functions and customization options. However, most drivers adapt quickly to its interface.

  • Third-Row Seat Space: While the GLS offers a third row, it is best suited for children or shorter adults on shorter journeys. Adults may find legroom and headroom somewhat limited for extended periods, which is a common characteristic of most three-row SUVs in this class.

  • Ride Firmness in AMG Models: While the AMG GLS 63 offers exhilarating performance, its sport-tuned suspension can result in a firmer ride compared to the GLS 450 and GLS 550, which might be noticeable on rougher road surfaces.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS is an exceptional full-size luxury SUV that masterfully blends opulent comfort, powerful performance, and advanced safety features. It provides a commanding presence, a spacious and refined interior, and a driving experience that is both serene and engaging. While fuel consumption and the practicality of the third row for adults are aspects to consider, the GLS remains a compelling choice for those seeking a premium, capable, and feature-packed vehicle to transport their family and conquer the road with confidence and style.
