2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLS 63

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Shopping for a three-row SUV means balancing priorities of seat quantity versus comfort. If the number of seats trump all, many three-row SUVs offer a second-row bench, but other models give up the second-row middle seat for captain’s chairs.

For the 2025 model year, the only changes for the GLS are new interior and exterior color choices and the available Manufaktur Signature Interior Package, which includes a Nappa leather interior.
