The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS is able to easily outdo any competition with its powerful engine and well-composed handling. It can navigate corners and bends smoothly despite changing outdoor and weather conditions. Those onboard also have something to look forward to internally with an opulent cabin that evokes luxury and offers pure comfort.
The 2020 Porsche Macan on the other hand falls short on fuel efficiency as well as its overall cabin space which are not what one would expect for its price margin.
Design & Style
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS can accommodate up to total of 7 people within its cabin that is full of space. Its seats are just as roomy while being really supportive with adequate cushioning and upholstered in synthetic leather. Power adjustment and heating settings are available as standard for the front seats whilst other upgrade options such as ventilation and massaging facilities are also available. The GLS cabin style leans towards a lavish theme which utilizes expensive materials to finish off in a sleek touch.
The Macan is able to fit up to 5 people inside its spacious cabin that is equipped with comfortable seats. Long drives are not an issue for this vehicle but this does not apply to the second row where limited room is to be expected. The Macan sports a minimalist concept with premium materials being used to embellish most of its surfaces and sides.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS offers a comprehensive list of tech features including the MBUX system for infotainment, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple/Android compatibility, satellite and HD radios, navigation, 13 speakers, 9 USB ports, digital cluster, and wireless charging. As for its safety aspect, the GLS comes with parking cameras, crosswind assist, attentiveness monitor, rain-sensing wipers, park assists, blind spot monitor, adaptive headlamps, collision warning, and auto emergency brakes.
The Macan comes equipped with several tech devices such as the PCM system for infotainment, 10.9-inch touchscreen, navigation, 10 speakers, USB ports, and satellite radio. For safety, the Macan offers departure warning, parking sensors, rearview camera, and rain-sensing wipers.
Performance
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS generates 362 horsepower on a 3L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine whereas its fuel economy is rated at 19 mpg in cities and 23 mpg on highways.
The Macan can put out 248 horsepower and 273 lbft of torque on a turbocharged 4-cylinder with fuel efficiency ratings that fetch up to 19 mpg and 23 mpg in cities and on highways respectively which are similar to the GLS but at very sluggish power.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS is the definite winner in this comparison with a smooth blend of style and performance. It offers various terse powertrain options and firm handling to promote steady drives each time.
