Reviewers generally regard the GLS as one of the most polished and commanding entries in the full-size luxury SUV class, praising its exceptionally refined ride quality, hushed cabin, high-grade interior materials, and effortless highway composure. Most find the third row more accommodating than typical for the segment, though some note the infotainment learning curve and the considerable overall footprint as practical trade-offs.
