Used 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS for Sale nearRichmond, VA

How much does the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS cost?

Prices have softened 14.41% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 860 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

It sits at the top of Mercedes’ luxury SUV range and is positioned as the brand’s flagship three-row SUV, so you’re shopping for a full-size luxury statement rather than a simple family hauler. The test-drive data backs that up with a stylish design, a powerful engine, and a spacious cabin.

The trade-offs are worth weighing: poor ride quality and poor ergonomic design are both called out, and advanced safety features are not standard. For you, that means the GLS makes the most sense if you value luxury presence and space more than outright comfort polish or a fully loaded standard feature set.

34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The GLS is described as a luxury SUV with a strong emphasis on comfort, upscale presentation, and everyday usefulness, and the expert review also highlights its spacious cabin and strong performance. Its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with EQ Boost is presented as smooth and well suited to a luxury vehicle, and the mild-hybrid setup helps the engine work more efficiently.

Mercedes also notes that the electric motor powers most accessories, reducing the engine’s workload, and the standard air suspension can raise and lower ride height. On the ownership side, Mercedes includes a four-year, 50,000-mile basic warranty and a four-year, 50,000-mile powertrain warranty.

For a used buyer, the main long-term risk is that a large, complex luxury SUV can be expensive to keep in top shape if prior maintenance was neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a large luxury SUV with available options and complex systems. Focus on how the cabin, suspension, and electronics have aged, since comfort and usability are central to the GLS experience.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base GLS 450 form is more subtle and less flashy than the higher-performance and ultra-luxury versions, and the test car’s fairly basic interior lacked reclining seats. That means you should pay close attention to whether the equipment level matches your expectations for a flagship SUV.
• Powertrain: The GLS 450 uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with a nine-speed automatic and EQ Boost mild-hybrid assistance. It makes 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, with an electric motor that can add 21 hp and 184 lb-ft in short bursts.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a driver-attention monitor, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, a surround-view camera system, Crosswind Assist, parking assist, and Pre Safe. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, second-row side airbags, and more advanced driver-assistance features cost extra.
• Infotainment: The standard MBUX system includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and natural-language voice recognition. A 13-speaker Burmester audio system is standard, while a head-up display is optional.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA ratings are 20 mpg combined, 18 mpg city, and 24 mpg highway.

Which 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS trim should I buy?

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS is offered in 1 trim level: GLS 450 4Matic.

Here's the short version:

The GLS 450 4Matic is the only version available for this model year, so your decision is really about whether the standard equipment and luxury character fit your needs. It brings the smooth inline-six powertrain, standard AWD, air suspension, and a strong tech package, which makes it the clear choice if you want the GLS experience without waiting for a higher-output variant to return.

Mercedes’ safety content also notes that several advanced driver-assistance features are optional, so you should check carefully for the equipment you want before buying.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 860 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.41% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $47,864, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS's resale value?

The current average of $47,864 sits slightly below last year's $55,924.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the current softness means your future resale will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Because this model year still carries strong demand signals from shoppers looking for a large luxury SUV, a clean example should remain easier to move than a neglected one. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS safe?

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a driver-attention monitor, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, a surround-view camera system, Crosswind Assist, parking assist, and Pre Safe. Mercedes also says the audio system emits pink noise intended to help protect ears during a collision.

You should note that adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, second-row side airbags, and several more advanced driver-assistance features are not standard. That means you’ll want to verify exactly which safety equipment is installed on any used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 is notable for being the only GLS version available at the time of testing, with a smooth inline-six and standard AWD.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $47,956, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $47,864 average.
• It emphasizes comfort and upscale presentation with three rows of spacious seating.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing, inventory, and the specific 2022 setup, this is the year to target. If you’re mainly comparing on price, the 2021 doesn’t offer a clear savings advantage here, so you’re usually better off focusing on the cleaner, better-priced 2022 listings.
