lol and all the sedans look similar too. Have you seen the new s class compared to the a class? just horrible.

lol whatever you say

Agree

@@Tritonal92 yes, that’s the problem with MB. If you are 30 yards away, you can’t tell from the front wether that’s a S class or an A class……

It’s the entry-level model. When you get up to the 580 it has much bigger wheels and body appearance upgrades. Not to mention a beefy V-8.

I give the car 45k miles before you spend 5k to fix it

I prefer the night package look on Mercedes.

i think you need at least the 580 or else the front looks way too bad. The wheels also have to be changed but that will be an additional option

I disagree. Rim sizes are getting out of hand these days, a big SUV needs some sidewall.

Yes, I thought I was the only one to see that. They figured out buyers will indeed forgo true quality in lieu for the badge. But MB and BMW lease so many vehicles, this may be less of a concern for them than say mainstream brands like Jeep, Kia, and Hyundai that are killing it these days.

@@hellkitty1014 facts actually

Really how?

😂😂😂

It’s a little tame like most Mercedes vehicles. But the real treat is when you get inside. That’s where all the others fall short that you mentioned. Especially the Wagoneer. And Kia? Yuck. All that crappy plastic everywhere

Not everyone wants their car to pop out on the road. Mercedes goes subtle, but still luxurious.

@@Eric_In_SF Crappy plastic? Unless you pay more in most luxury cars, they come with similar soft touch and leatherette padding. Hell Audi only gives you leatherette arm rests on the top trims. Any below that generally receive soft touch plastic. Same goes for quite a few other companies.

I was thinking the same

A Lexus would save you about $5,000 a year on repairs (not including maintenance) if you’re looking to purchase. For those who lease or piss away money long term reliability wouldn’t matter.

@@EricFortuneJr. people who are in the market for expensive SUVs like Mercedes’ and bmw don’t care about the cost of maintenance.

@@EricFortuneJr. we seriously don’t care lmao. No need for a truck frame, and I prefer more up to date human computer interaction rather than a phone holder on AC vent

@@jacobbio Maintenance and reliability are aren't exactly the same. You can have a low maintenance Cadillac that burns oil or has electrical faults or you can have a high maintenance G Wagon that might not require the frequent repairs like a Land Rover. People with money might not care about regular maintenance costs but many do consider reliability when shopping. This is why BMW leases so many cars vs those who purchase and keep their Lexuses.

MDX is definitely not roomier than this.

MDX is smaller lmao... also MDX has shitty steel suspension with no so good sound insulation and worse technology. The engine is lackluster, you need 4000 rpm to get to full hp in a naturally aspirated engine? Give me a break man. Also, the commercial compares MDX to 4 cylinder Q7 cuz they know it has nothing on V6 turbo

@@jackz4149 Buy the GLS 450 so I can buy it off of you for half the price in 3 years

@@afzalshaikh2128 of course you like used cars 😆

It is wireless.

Why? It’s faster and has 0 lag, unlike my shitty Audi MMI

Did you buy GLS or SQ7? I prefer GLS😊

Audi is made with better materials and has a better engine, AWD

We kept our SQ5 and I then got a F250. Probably get the SQ7 in late 24 as a 2025 model. Audi has been really good to us. Unfortunately, the New Orleans area sucks with too much crime and I wish they'd open another Audi in D'Iberville next to the BMW, Merc, VW and Volvo stores. @@agnesf2659

And please note this is the "slow" one🤪 The 580 does it in less than 5 and the AMG in less than 4🤯

If you get to sit in a gle or glc, it’s really comfortable and materials feel great

All entry-level wheels look like crap.Fork out a few dollars and get better wheels. Also who cares with the key looks like. It’s in your pocket or on your kitchen counter

If how much to repair on BMW cars if any problem with it?

I agree. If only Audi made a comparable vehicle since I am an Audi fan. But as it is, I think the X7 might be their best non-sporty model in their lineup.

I’m huge on interiors with no hard plastics. You would love the Jeep Grand Cherokee summit with the $5k leather package. Leather stitched all the way to the door bottom, the housing for the rear air vents and USB ports(part that the arm rest screws into) is Also wrapped in leather which is insane! Dash, bottom dash, and glove box door ETC. Everyone I explain this to says “who cares” , I do when I’m paying money for a car.. LOL.

@@Natethegreat200c oh definitely makes sense. We actually 2 years ago had an Audi Q7 in the shops before the x5(side note audis are great when they work... yeah but like just don’t buy one) so we were given a limited grand Cherokee and it was nice but I have to say the quality of the leather was not as nice as I’d like and did not feel as nice and supportive as the leather in the bmw or the Lexus vehicle we own as well. Also I like a car that has a bit more do it all vibe. So with this new X5 they tried to target land rover discovery as in recent years those vehicles have stolen sales from BMW X5. Sooooo the new X5 can be lifted with air suspension to 10.6 inches of ground clearance, with the off road package with body cladding and skid plates and high side wall tires 18inch wheels, we own land in NorCal and all of our neighbors are like how’s that thing getting up the dirt mud hills? And we are like people underestimate this vehicles capabilities daily on trains as well. Plus we got the paint protector that self heals so you can rub pin stripes right off. Then you get on road hit sport hybrid mode get 33 miles to the gallon or hit sport mode lowers the car to just 5 inches above the ground stiffens the dampers and pull 4.8 vbox tested 0to60 times. It really is remarkable. There’s a video of bmws x5s using Land Rover testing grounds in mammoth, we did that trial with our X5 too in mammoth first week we owned it, all the Land Rover people were scratching their heads, we even got questions from the Land Rover tour guide who was surprised we were keeping up the entire time. Then when we all got on road, we left them in our dust cus this giant vehicle defies gravity with its cornering ability. You push it to hard and the damn back end just steps out like a sports car and torques you through turns. On road drive dynamics up here in nor cal mountains and off road capabilities Are great! That’s what would stop me from getting that jeep. I do like how the keep looks better than our X5 tho 🤷🏾‍♀️

It’s a headache reading without punctuations… but if you’re familiar with Mercedes you’ll know their full size cars and suv are meant to feel heavy and floaty

This and X7 are perfect, especially the 6 cylinder version, perfect for hauling kids around, carrying cargo, groceries and road trip, also comfortable and luxurious. There’s too many of these in Irvine nowadays

They have to look similar. Your just choosing the size of car you want.

They don't look too similar.Thats how they always design their cars. They always have the same design language but still different. Stop exaggerating.

Their SUVs don't look the same. The only one that looks like this is the GLB. Their sedans are very similar, but not exactly the same.

idk what year it was. but recently they've turned into a "budget" brand. Don't get me wrong, they're still luxurious and expensive. But they've axe'd their top-end designs to promote their lower end sales. Example look at a the AMG GTR and the AMG A45. the A45 has a similar grill and interior despite being so much cheaper, but the fact that it resembles a car worth $120k really entices buyers looking for a $50-60k car. Overall the economy has shown increasing apathy towards expensive brands, so said expensive brands are forced to cater to a "poorer" audience. And one of the symptoms of that are "bland" designs. And yes its a GLS, meaning S is in there. But this is the SUV-segment so S doesn't mean much. For instance the GLS costs as much as a Toyota Land Cruiser yet a S-class sedan is so much more than an Avalon/Camry or even a Lexus equivalent.

​@@larrywexner4163a loaded gls 580 will easily pass $150k. The land cruiser is just overpriced, bad example.

Get the hell outta here with these dumb marketing

19 speakers sound nowhere as nice as gls’s

@@jackz4149 I'm not taking about a sound quality. Just saying that 13 speakers is quite not enough for this vehicle size, compare Audi Q5 size and GLS. Should be a little opposite:)

@@Raven0519 true, but it’s good for what it is, and it’s more than adequate, Q5’s audio system has to be played quietly otherwise the sound quality is meh

@@jackz4149 depends on the settings)

Looks like a giant Highlander. Yes you need to the GLS580 for it to look the part. For the life of me I can't understand why MBUSA won't offer the AMG sportswear on the 450 model. It is THE stupidest decision that they continue to make. That said, the GV80's third row is a joke by comparison and the Volvo has a lawnmower engine. X7 is far more desirable.

@@MercOne i agree on all fronts. BMW allows the buyer to dress a 40i model all the way up.

@@hellkitty1014 Yes. Mercedes is just being dumb on this one. Makes no sense. X7 is much sexier and better looking to my eye too.

@@MercOne no X7 looks like a bigger X5. None of these are distinguishable but GLS is more subtle, which is better

@@jackz4149 If you think dull as dishwater is distinguishable.

For the price of a loaded GLS you can easily buy both loaded. But people buying it probably won't care. Star on the car is more of a status symbol.

Not anymore
