Very comfortable car

This vehicle is extremely comfortable. Even though it is big, it feels like you are driving a car. There is plenty of performance. The 360 camera makes parking a breeze. The air suspension provides very comfortable driving. The exterior is very nice, we have the all-LED headlights, the auto high-beam feature is a big plus. The interior is very luxurious, especially the accent lighting. The electronics provides many customizable features like interior lighting color, engine performance display, exterior lighting duration, etc. There is no touch screen but the dial and touchpad have made me not miss it too much. There is plenty of room for everyone. You will not be disappointed!

Unbelievable driving experience!

Traded-in my F-150 Platinum for a GLS450...F-150 is an awesome truck and if you need a truck you can't go wrong..it was time to down-size as our families needs have changed and we didn't need a truck any longer..crazy I know. I took a chance on the GLS450 and I don't know if I will go back to a truck after this experience..seating for 7 adults, luxury appointments, all the tech one could ever need and a sports car feel just sealed the deal for me. If I need to haul anything the 2nd and 3rd rows fold down and if it can't fit I have friends with trucks that will haul what I need. This SUV is a dream come true!

Best purchase for the money

This SUV exceeded my expectations with luxury, comfort and performance. I was looking for an SUV with a tow package and I was surprised with the level of luxury available on this vehicle. It is a great performance vehicle with above average comfort amenities.

This is easily the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I couldn’t be happier. This vehicle offers comfort, plenty of power, overall dependability and very nice curb appeal. I have also been extremely impressed with the dealership in which I purchased the vehicle.

Checked all the boxes

I like it a lot, but of course I've only driven it about 75 miles. So far so good. This is my third Mercedes. I'm confident I will be a loyal customer in the future. These cars are simply amazing. How do they do that?

Worth the money

Mercedes benz does have a higher price than some other full size SUVs. However, the cost is worth it. This has so many safety features--multiple air bags, reinforced doors, driver/lane and blindspot assist just to name a few. It is still nicely sporty on the exterior and has a powerful V6 engine with plenty of horsepower. Very smooth drive. Add in a luxurious interior with a third row adults can actually ride in plus a panoramic moon roof, upgraded sound system and large dash screen --it makes this luxury SUV worth the investment. So happy I bought this one!

Just purchased, but love it so far.

Love the style and comfort of the vehicle. Computer is not very user friendly - having some difficulty figuring out how to use some of the systems in the car and the owner's manual is confusing also. Fuel efficiency is great though for the size of vehicle that it is and the handling of the car is amazing.
