Why it stands out

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS sits at the top of Mercedes’ luxury SUV range and serves as the brand’s flagship SUV. It is the biggest SUV Mercedes offers, and its three-row layout gives it the kind of size and utility that help define the model. Mercedes also positions it as the SUV equivalent of the S-Class sedan, which underscores its role as the brand’s most upscale large SUV.

For 2022, Mercedes withdrew most of its V8 models from the United States, leaving only the base six-cylinder GLS 450 4Matic model. That makes this version of the GLS notable for being the only one available at the time of the review. Even so, the model still stands out for its stylish design, powerful engine, and spacious cabin.

The tradeoffs are worth noting. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS was criticized for poor ride quality, poor ergonomic design, and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. Those drawbacks keep it from feeling flawless, but for buyers who want a large, luxurious, and highly capable three-row SUV, the GLS remains distinctive.
