When it comes to luxury large SUVs, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS has a lavish cabin that awaits car lovers out there. There are comfortable seats to accommodate your needs as well. Powerful engines were made for better adventures with this ride.
As for the 2021 BMW X7, you will find strong acceleration and a great interior quality. It has a long list of features to offer as well.
Design & Style
The Mercedes-Benz GLS will not disappoint when it comes to design and style. In fact, to give more cargo space, you can fold down both the third and second rows. This will give a total space of 84.7 cubic feet. It can seat six or seven people. You will find the seats spacious for all three rows. It is also impressive for using real wood trim to highlight its cabin.
The 2021 X7, on the other hand, promises to seat seven, or six if you opt for captain’s chairs at the middle row. Disappointingly, however, it only has a minimum of 12.8 cubic feet of cargo space. There are plenty of power adjustments for this ride. Design is sharp and modern with brushed metal pieces adorning the cabin. It lacks the beauty of the Mercedes-Benz, though.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 MBUX carries an infotainment system that does not require much learning curve. This one comes with additional controls that help with its functionalities for the 13-speaker audio, satellite radio, HD radio, and wireless device charging, among others. It also integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features include a long list like the vehicle exit warning, parallel and perpendicular park assist, forward collision warning, crosswind assist, and automatic emergency braking.
In the case of the BMW X7, it has the iDrive infotainment system that is equipped with a 12.3-inch touch screen. It is not as impressive as the one that you find in the GLS though. Standard equipment includes a 10-speaker stereo, satellite radio, HD radio, and navigation. Safety features like adaptive headlights, front and rear parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and blind spot monitoring are included.
Performance
The GLS has various engines depending on the model that carries it. The base engine spruces up to 362 horsepower with its turbo inline-six. The 580 model, on the other hand carries the twin-turbo V8 for 483 horsepower of output. Its V8s produce 550 horsepower for the GLS 600 and 603 horsepower for the GLS 63.
The X7, meanwhile, has a variety of engines too, whose results range from 335 horsepower for the turbo inline-six to 523 horsepower for the twin-turbo.
The Bottom Line
Given this comparison, you have seen how more powerful the GLS engine options are when compared to the X7. It is also more stylish and is reliable in terms of tech features.
