Given that the Mercedes-Benz GLS model sits at the top of the company’s SUV range, there are a lot of expectations for the 2020 GLS. Thankfully this luxury SUV meets all these expectations and then some. The 2020 GLS comes with a host of luxury features and its incredible styling ensures that it stands out anywhere. It is also engineered to be a true off-roader and the 2020 GLS comes with a range of features that help it to tackle rough terrains.
When it comes to the 2020 Porsche Cayenne, you get luxury and sporty performance all in one package. Porsche has done a great job of combining these two elements although in doing so, some of the functionality of this car has been compromised. Let us examine how these two cars compare against each other.
The 2020 GLS gets a whole new style theme for 2020. It features a more refined look and sportier stance which helps to accentuate its good looks. The interior is luxurious as one would expect in a car at this price point. Cabin space is generous and 2020 GLS owners have the option of adding a third row of seats. Both the interior and exterior designs are clean and modern, further enhancing this SUV’s premium look.
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne comes with a sporty design that borrows heavily from Porsche’s style theme. While they have done a great job with the external design, the style theme does look a little odd in such a large car. The interior is appropriately decked in luxurious materials and there is no doubt that is a premium car. Cabin space is however problematic especially in the back seat.
As the top luxury SUV in Mercedes-Benz’s range, you can expect that the 2020 GLS will come with many tech and safety features. This is true and buyers get all kinds of tech features including two massive 12.5-inch displays that control various functions in the car. The infotainment system responds to touch as well as voice commands. Smartphone integration, heated seats and much more are all standard in this luxury SUV.
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne comes decked with a range of tech features as well. These include a 12-inch infotainment display, WIFI, and much more. The navigation system is a little sluggish though and this can be problematic when on the road.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS offers a range of options when it comes to engines. The base model features a powerful turbocharged V6 engine that offers more than adequate power to this SUV. Those looking for even more zest can opt for a turbocharged V8 engine that incredibly powerful. Ride quality is superb and very few road imperfections are felt in the cabin. For a large SUV, it handles extremely well and remains very stable while cornering.
The 2020 Porsche Cayenne handles superbly as well thanks to its turbocharged 3-liter V6 engine that delivers plenty of torque. Handling is superb although the 2020 Cayenne’s stiff suspension can spoil the ride quality, especially when driving off-road.
Any comparison between the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS and the 2020 Porsche Cayenne is always going to be a close one. However, the 2020 GLS offers a lot more when it comes to interior styling and functionality. The 2020 Porsche Cayenne only offers two rows while the 2020 GLS gives the option of a third row. The 2020 GLS also offers a better ride quality and is a true off-roader. For these reasons, the 2020 GLS wins this comparison.
