The Mercedes-Benz GLS can easily outdo any of its match that is worth competing against. This is thanks to its engine lineup that is powerful and its ability to handle turns and corners effortlessly. What more does the GLS have to offer? Let us dig deeper and learn more about this car and its competitor, the Genesis GV80.

Every seat at all rows is upholstered in synthetic leather and space at every row is just as comfortable. Taller folks will also find riding in the GLS to be really fulfilling as no leg- or headroom issue can be spotted.
The Genesis GV80 has a seating capacity that can seat up to 5 people comfortably. Leg- and headroom are available in a more than adequate volume to provide lasting comfort. The car’ cabin is also well-insulated to block out any external noises and every seat is upholstered in leather. Its interior is styled in a way that helps create a stunning outlook with deluxe materials like carbon fiber, aluminum, and real wood being used for most of its surfaces.
