The Mercedes-Benz GLS is no match for its rivals of the same vehicle class with muscular engine choices and agile handling that support smooth journeys at all times. Its interior feels and looks lavish which will easily appeal to any potential buyer. Let us learn more about its features and the reason behind its ability to outperform its competitors including the Infiniti QX80.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS is good to accommodate up to 7 people if a bench is chosen for the middle row. Selecting captain’s chairs would reduce the car’s capacity to just 6. Every seat at each row is upholstered in synthetic leather and space is not an issue at any row. The same goes for both leg- and headroom even for taller passengers.
The Infiniti QX80 has seven seats which can be upgraded to fit 8 people if a bench seat is chosen for the middle row. Regardless of the layout, front two rows are cushy and supple with plenty of leg- and headroom to offer. The last row is slightly squeezy so it is best left for teenagers or kids. The cabin is quiet throughout rides, thanks to its good insulation.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS offers a number of technological and safety devices which include its MBUX system which is user-friendly, a 12.3-inch display, Android/Apple platform compatibility, HD and satellite radios, a wireless charging dock, 9 USB ports, navigation and 13 speakers, parking cameras, rain-sensing wipers, crosswind assist, park assist, attentiveness monitor, blind spot monitor, and adaptive headlamps.
The Infiniti QX80 has several technological advances like its InTouch system, an 8-inch display, another 7-inch display, Android/Apple platform compatibility, and navigation. The safety aspect of the car sees features like rearview mirror with camera, blind spot monitor, parking camera, collision warning, departure warning, cruise control, auto emergency brakes, and auto high beams.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS produces 362 horsepower under its 3L engine that is turbocharged and comes with inline 6 cylinders. Its gas mileage hits 19 mpg while in cities and 23 mpg for highways.
The Infiniti QX80 puts out 400 horsepower on a V6 and its fuel efficiency rates at 14 mpg and 20 mpg for cities and highways respectively.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS showcases remarkable engine performance and well-composed handling which are the factors that make the GLS a worthwhile investment. It does not just stop there and continue focusing on delivering optimum comfort and lavish beauty from inside its cabin. The Infiniti QX80 on the other hand needs improvement in several aspects of the vehicle like its outdated interior that lacks of space as well.
