GLS [Official] Mercedes-Benz GLS (X167)

[SKY]

It’s amazing what a facelift, when properly done, can do. It’s now far more desirable. They had to get this right as the X7 was killing it.

Really? X7 numbers were much better than GLS ones?

Yeah the X7 outsells the GLS here.

I heard that's more to do with chip issues at Mercedes and Alabama plant having some production issues maybe @Serpens can advise better ?

I’m sure that’s a factor, but either way it’s Mercedes’ problem, not BMW’s.

I would have to look up the numbers, but I don’t think the GLS has ever sold better than the X7.

Right.

GLS outsold X7 in 2019, 2020, and 2021 in the U.S. Supply chain issues still dogged Mercedes in 2022 while BMW’s superior management showed up big time.

Right.

I gotta stop listening to YouTubers and look up the data myself. My goodness. Certain channels are just all wrong. Thanks.

Is it only me that find these two really similar?

Yes, that's horrid. Not sure what MB is trying to do here.

 

[tennmb]

This is strictly due to availability and overages. GLSs were next to impossible to get. It's not as it dealers had 10k GLS left over in 2022. Unfortunately MB building the EQS SUV in the same factory likely contributed to the lack of numbers and MB dumped thousands of unwanted EQS SUVS on dealers, while they still were shortages of GLEs and GLSs.

Facelift makes the GLS look so much better.

That guy is a terrible youtuber. Not sure why the other guy isn't on there anymore. This guy barely knows what he's talking about and he's uncomfortable to look at and listen to.

Ro cars make outstanding show room videos. This one of the new GLS looks fantastic.

I prefer this interior design over the one in the E and S. Shame that I am u likely to afford the fuel consumption and tyre costs of a GLS.
