The Mercedes-Benz GLS easily ranks amongst the top ranks of majority of car ranking sites. It showcases punchy engine choices and a stunning cabin that is full of posh design elements. It has so much more to offer which is covered in more depth in our article below. We have also included a detailed description of one of the GLS’ class rivals, the 2021 Cadillac Escalade for your consideration of the two.
Design & Style
The Mercedes-Benz GLS offers a new design that does not compromise on either comfort or space. Style is also one of the car’s strong fortes which displays a setting of luxury with the aid of various premium materials found on its surfaces as well as on the sides. It comes with three roomy rows which allow easy exiting and entering without much effort regardless of the intended seat location. For its seats, comfort and space are also very much emphasized to ensure prolonged support can be experienced.
The Cadillac Escalade has a swanky and spacious cabin that looks modern with design elements that are futuristic covering its surfaces. The car has a total of three rows to accommodate up to seven people. Its seats are just as roomy and cushy with enough leg- and headroom to support easy entrance and exit.
Technology & Safety
The Mercedes-Benz GLS comes loaded with a series of technological tools such as Android and Apple platform sync, a wireless charging dock, in-car communication, both HD and satellite radios, 13 speakers, 8 USB ports, *Bluetooth® connectivity, navigation, a touchpad control, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. For safety, the car offers devices such as perpendicular and parallel parking, Pre-Safe, parking cameras, vehicle exit warning, blind spot monitor, crosswind assist, attentiveness monitor, auto emergency brakes, and collision warning.
The Cadillac Escalade has several tech advances to offer which comprise of both HD and satellite radios, WiFi, navigation, a pair of USB ports, Bluetooth®, a wireless charging dock, 19 speakers, wireless Apple and Android platform sync, and a 14.2-inch digital cluster.

Performance
The Mercedes-Benz GLS puts out 362 horsepower when running through a turbo inline six engine whereas its gas mileage can hit 20/24 mpg in city/highway.
The Cadillac Escalade can easily produce 420 horsepower under its standard 6.2L V8 engine that can fetch 15/20 mpg gas mileage for city/highway.
The Bottom Line
The Mercedes-Benz GLS is the top favorite of both online car sites and the consumer market. It wins over hearts by its showcase of luxury that gets apparent internally and through its powertrain choices.
The Cadillac Escalade puts up a good fight when it is up against the GLS. Nevertheless, traits like the car’s fuel efficiency ratings, list of standard features, and interior comfort cannot outdo what the GLS has to offer.
