The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS fully redesigned its predecessor, thus impressing its avid fans even more. It balances ride and handling, making the entire travel even more comfortable for its users. The cabin has been crafted to defeat all other luxury large SUVs out there.
The 2020 BMW X5 is one luxury midsize SUV that you can be impressed about. It combines plenty of space with a lavish interior.
Design & Style
A large luxury SUV that can be configured to seat six passengers with its captain’s chairs or seven people without that, the 2020 GLS is an impressive luxury SUV. It has standard heated and power-adjustable front seats too. The cabin has an upscale synthetic leather upholstery which is soft to the touch. With an excellent fit and finish inside, you will praise this ride even more for its rugged yet modern-looking body.
The 2020 BMW X5, on the other hand, can seat up to five people, which offers an option to upgrade accommodation of up to seven people. Both rows of seats are gifted with plenty of legroom and headroom. Once you add a third row, however, the space is cramped up and can only accommodate two children in addition to the five adults. You can praise it for its handsome interior.
Technology & Safety
The GLS now comes standard with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system which features a 12.3-inch touch screen. The setup supports smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
