2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2021 Bentley Bentayga
The Mercedes-Benz GLS is the premium SUV that Mercedes-Benz has to offer and this shows in the way the company spared no effort to make this SUV one of the best models in its category. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS comes with luxury features and great looks. All this is achieved without compromising on functionality which makes the Mercedes-Benz GLS an all-rounded vehicle. When it comes to the Bentley Bentagya, this is Bentley’s first foray into the SUV world. The 2021 Bentayga has been retouched and drives as well as it looks. The Bentyaga is not meant to be a sporty car and this shows when you get behind the wheel. Here is a comparison of these two luxury SUVs.
Design & Styles
For 2021, the Mercedes-Benz GLS has seen some improvements on the 2020 model. The grille and the rear lights have been slightly changed to give it an even more sporty look. The interior is also as good as ever. As one would expect from a Mercedes-Benz SUV, premium materials fill the interior and the instrument panel is designed to make it easy to operate any knob or button. With ample cabin and trunk space, this is a vehicle that is sure to turn heads anywhere to drive to.
The 2021 Bentley Bentyaga retains most of the styling aspects of the previous models. This look is based on Bentley’s other models. While the look works for the sedans, it doesn’t translate very well on the larger SUV model. The interior is well decked out with luxury features although most people will find luggage space an issue.
Technology & Safety
Given that this is the top SUV in the Mercedes-Benz family, it is natural to expect it to come with many tech and safety features. The 2021 GLS does not disappoint and features two 12.5 inch displays on the dashboard. One functions as the infotainment control display while the other screen displays speed and other vehicle statistics. The Mercedes-Benz GLS also comes with heated seats, smartphone integration, and many other features. The Bently Bentayga is equally decked out with tech features. These include a touchscreen infotainment and many others.
Performance
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS is motivated by a turbocharged V6 engine that is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This gives the Mercedes-Benz GLS incredible power which is useful when you need to tow a camping trailer or carry a full load of passengers. An optional V8 engine also exists for buyers who need more power. The 2021 Bentayga comes with a V8 engine which is incredibly powerful as well. Handling is great although the Bentayga suffers from its boxy shape which affects its aerodynamics.
The Bottom Line
While these two SUVs are superbly engineered and have a lot to offer drivers, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS pulls ahead of the 2021 Bentayga when it comes to ride dynamics as well as cabin space.
