In the domestic million-level SUV camp, the large SUV produced by Mercedes-Benz - GLS can be described as a pivotal position. Although in this level can buy a lot of luxury brand flagship SUVs, and the product power has a high level, but in the atmosphere and luxury of the creation, obvious Mercedes-Benz GLS is better, so friends with business reception needs, often will Mercedes-Benz GLS as the primary consideration of car purchase. Today, in order to analyze the Mercedes-Benz GLS, see how the actual product performance of this million-level king is?
This analysis is the 2022 GLS 450 4MATIC fashion type, and the manufacturer guidance price is 1.1546 million yuan. In terms of appearance, Mercedes-Benz GLS, as a million-level product, has a natural grasp of grade and aura. The front part of the face adopts the new family design language of Mercedes-Benz, and the new design is more exquisite and fashionable compared with the old boxy and tough shape. Shield-shaped forward grille, symmetrical thick chrome decorative strips running through the interior of the net, coupled with the size of the Mercedes-Benz logo, full of dignity comes to the face.
As for the body side, in fact, from the perspective of line design, the difference between it and the old model is not big. It is still dominated by straight lines, and the length, width and height have reached 5218/2030/1823mm, and the strong body plate makes this Mercedes-Benz GLS have a high degree of attention wherever it goes.
Looking at the tail, the full and thick overall layout and the front face have played a good echo effect, and compared with the old rugged and monotonous design, the new model is more in line with the aesthetic vision of mainstream consumers. In particular, the flat style taillight combination has a high degree of recognition when lit up at night. The lower chrome-plated bilateral exhaust air also ensures the sense of grade of the whole vehicle.
For the interior of the old Mercedes-Benz GLS, it is estimated that many friends are not cold, although the luxury of creating has always been mercedes-Benz's strength, but it has not been highlighted in the old model, fortunately, the new Mercedes-Benz GLS finally has a "plastic surgery" change. The central control layout of the surrounding style, under the combination of the dual screen design that symbolizes the sense of science and technology and the decorative panels of solid wood, the overall sense of luxury is self-evident.
In terms of configuration, the performance of Mercedes-Benz GLS is still in place. Active safety configuration, air suspension, electric/induction trunk, rear seat heating, Berlin Sound, etc. are all assembled, even if not optional, the original configuration can better meet our daily use. Of course, if you have high requirements for configuration, mercedes-Benz GLS also supports the optional configuration of steering wheel heating, front seat ventilation, geometric multi-beam headlights and HUD head display.
The wheelbase of the Mercedes-Benz GLS reaches 3135mm, which has a certain advantage over competitors such as BMW X7 and Lexus LS. The seating space section, the stylish model introduced this time, uses a 2+2+3 7-seat seat layout. The 180cm tall experiencer sits in the second row, and under the normal sitting posture, the legs can get more than two punches of space, and the head also has as much as one punch, which belongs to the superior level of the same level. But like most 7-seater models, the third row was still built for emergencies, and it's hard to guarantee comfort for long rides.
In terms of hardware, it adopts a 3.0T L6 engine + 48V light mixing system, with a maximum power of 270kW and a maximum torque of 500N·m, matching a nine-speed manual transmission and equipped with full-time four-wheel drive. The acceleration of 6.3 seconds to break the hundred is still excellent for this large man who weighs nearly 2.5 tons. In addition, in fact, the Mercedes-Benz GLS does not have the feeling of being too bulky, and the contrast with the huge body plate is in stark contrast. However, the matching 9AT gearbox, although in most cases can be smooth enough, but at low speeds, there is occasional slight jitter is a small problem that affects the texture of the ride.
The use of front and rear double wishbone independent suspension, is the mainstream suspension type of the same level, biased towards comfortable tuning, while the subtle bumps are filtered more thoroughly, can bring a good riding experience to the rear passengers. Just as the so-called BMW sits in a Mercedes-Benz, this sentence has been well verified in the Mercedes-Benz GLS.
Taken together, elegance can be synonymous with this Mercedes-Benz GLS, and according to personal experience, the luxurious interior, strong power and comfortable suspension tuning make it worthy of the million-level positioning. I think that consumers who intend to buy luxury large SUVs, if the brand grade and ride comfort are taken as the hard requirements for car purchase, The Mercedes-Benz GLS is still worth considering.
