Good review, but quite a few things stood out to me. It's not the last generation of MBUX. It is NTG7 in the 2024, just on the 2 12" screen format. There also isn't rear steering on the GLS as noted, and this doesn't have the uplevel Burmester as stated either (no aluminum A pillar tweeters, no ceiling speakers, etc... this is the standard Burmester). Not trying to nitpick, but enough details were off that really should have been noted better.
There is rear steering in GLS 580 - approximately 9% vs 4% in the 24 BMW X7 M60i - I've actually owned both of these.... A 23 X7 M60i, I traded for a 24 GLS 580
To my mind, the V8 in the GLS is a pretty compelling reason why someone who can afford to step up from the GLE should. Even if you will NEVER use the third row, the V8 makes it worth going from the top trim GLE 53 to the GLS 580.
I'd be a little bummed if I spent that much and had to fuss with the start/stop being herky jerky. If my CR-V hybrid can get that right in the mid $30's there's no excuse here. Regardless this is a vehicle I'm sure I'd enjoy overall.

I’ve owned a ton of Mercedes and now I own a g12 750i. The GLS 580, is absolutely amazing for people who do not want the driving dynamics of the x7. I know I love the looks of the x7 more but the comfort of the 580 is much better than the x7

Owned a GLS for 4 years and I have to admit it is the quietest and most comfortable ride I’ve been in. It’s more space inside than a Tahoe but smaller on the outside. Still a large vehicle though. They need a plug in hybrid version though.

You said that it has the prior MBUX, but it does indeed have the latest, just implemented differently, and on the 580, the HP has increased from 483 to 510hp.

Am not a Mercedes-benz fan(except the G-wagen) but if i was given just to choose between the S-class sedan & this Gls suv I'd definitely choose the Gls which has presence & i like the overall shape.its even more practical.
Nah. The reasons he's disposing of the X7 apply just as well to this. It will be a huge money pit as it ages. The Acura is a much more sensible choice. Whatever he gets will have second-row seats that fold flat.
Did this vehicle have the e-active body control? If so, curious if it makes a notable difference when cornering, and worth the upgrade? Really surprised that it returned ~22mpg (highway). With that “efficiency” combined with the overall comfort, it could be a great road tripper. My telluride was so practical but after a few 7-10 hour drives, i realized the ride was very bumpy and cabin was loud. It wasn’t very comfortable IMO, and there’s a significant step up with the German brands
Do you reset the transmission (self-learning) before you test a vehicle? Turn on accessory, mash the pedal, turn off and then release the pedal resets the trans.
I havn't driven this yet. But I will say that one thing that disappoints me when trying to spec one out online is that it appears you can't get the same steering wheel that they offer on the S-Class. Have no idea why they would do that.
We have a fairly basic 450. Sure the 6 isn’t going to have the character of the V8, but it is very smooth, has enough power and suits the vehicle well. It is easily the quietest vehicle we’ve ever owned and the handling is a bit deliberate but the ride is silky. Ours is on the base 20” wheels so it doesn’t consume tires every 10k. Even still, the thing scares me to death once the certified warranty runs out. So much so we will probably take a bath on it before then to trade into a more commodity product.
what would be your choice between GLS 580 and GMC Denali Ultimate? family trip vehicle, long term and cost effective on maintenance wise? They both price same nearly...
The merc will be the better road trip vehicle. Once the warranty runs out though, unless you do it yourself, the GMC will be far cheaper to maintain and repair since it’s just an upmarket Chevy.
I don’t know, V8 is cool, but the price is beyond any reasonable expectation. +20% price just for a bit more power (367 vs. 517). I would buy the GLS 63 instead. If I had the money of course
Is there a reason why you never reviewed the big Range Rover? Would be nice to compare it with the GLS. From what I've read, the new L460 RR rides like a Rolls-Royce.
Not sure why Mercedes doesn’t offer this interior color with Nappa leather. The only way to Nappa in a 580 is in black. Not a fan of this “rough textured” leather. Seems cheap for this price point. Also, looks like this spec has the base Burmester and not the high end 3D with 29 speakers.
I actually just drove this too. I own a VW Atlas with the v6 and I honestly can't believe the price difference. 100k more for gloss black steering wheel.
My first act as President would be to allow Start/Stop, or at the very least, make the car companies allow the owner to turn it off FOR GOOD if they wanted to.
If u weren’t “constantly interacting with her screen” u’d b constantly “interacting with 4 thousand 5 hundred buttons, switches & levers” with all of the vast array of options and settings new luxury cars have integrated with-in themselves.

It is easily the quietest vehicle we’ve ever owned and the handling is a bit deliberate but the ride is silky. Ours is on the base 20” wheels so it doesn’t consume tires every 10k. Even still, the thing scares me to death once the certified warranty runs out. So much so we will probably take a bath on it before then to trade into a more commodity product.
I don’t think it has the upgraded audio like you mentioned in the video otherwise you’d see speakers in the ceiling.
in Ru$$ia this GLS580 will stand you about $200,000 the Maybach GLS $300,000. Parallel import all the from USA & other countries.
I’m not seeing the upgraded 3d stereo speakers that come with the upgraded system in the video’s vehicle as stated
Mercedes simply the best 👌🏼💥
Are they actually trolling us with the piano black steering wheel
what would be your choice between GLS 580 and GMC Denali Ultimate? family trip vehicle, long term and cost effective on maintenance wise? They both price same nearly...
GLS is definitely going to crash better.
@@MBisFrenchy in good way or bad way?
@@anilbharat As in you have a higher likelihood of not being hurt.
The merc will be the better road trip vehicle. Once the warranty runs out though, unless you do it yourself, the GMC will be far cheaper to maintain and repair since it’s just an upmarket Chevy.
@@celderianthat 'up market ' makes a huge difference long term. look at a 20 year old version of the same thing between chevy and gmc, you'll see it
Not sure if buying a house or this one. Could live in there.
I don’t know, V8 is cool, but the price is beyond any reasonable expectation. +20% price just for a bit more power (367 vs. 517). I would buy the GLS 63 instead. If I had the money of course
The ultimate 3 row vehicle.) love it
I’m just waiting for my Lexus Minivan
Is there a reason why you never reviewed the big Range Rover? Would be nice to compare it with the GLS. From what I've read, the new L460 RR rides like a Rolls-Royce.
Not sure why Mercedes doesn’t offer this interior color with Nappa leather. The only way to Nappa in a 580 is in black. Not a fan of this “rough textured” leather. Seems cheap for this price point. Also, looks like this spec has the base Burmester and not the high end 3D with 29 speakers.
If you pull off the lot and immediately lose 16-17 percent on resale value, was it ever really worth 120k?
If you have to look at the resale value of the vehicle you purchased, you don't belong in the GLS marketspace
Nobody needs a vehicle this big.
I actually just drove this too. I own a VW Atlas with the v6 and I honestly can't believe the price difference. 100k more for gloss black steering wheel.
Piano black steering wheel lmao
My first act as President would be to allow Start/Stop, or at the very least, make the car companies allow the owner to turn it off FOR GOOD if they wanted to.
Why would you recommend leasing over buying it?
I'm interested in the nymphotainment system.
In this Fall setting I miss HDR so bad 😢😢😢
Joywave rules!
I’m too lazy to use the screens is what I heard. The start stop button is literally next to the button to start the car. That’s not to challenging.
Gotta love the GLE dashboard...
would be handful to test top trim Viano next for straight comparison finding out if GLS is really worth that money and egomaniac reputation
If u weren’t “constantly interacting with her screen” u’d b constantly “interacting with 4 thousand 5 hundred buttons, switches & levers” with all of the vast array of options and settings new luxury cars have integrated with-in themselves. A screen allows for a cleaner dashboard/center console/driver area. I honestly couldn’t see how new full-featured vehicles could exist without screens.
Plastic steering wheel on a $120,000 car? Are you kidding?
Did hear him say the GLS580 has rear wheel steering? Is that correct or misspeak.
I take any mercedes over any bmw!
When is the GLS due for a complete redesign?
