A Real SUV // 2024 Mercedes GLS580 Review 

Got to love Sarah reviewing off road. Actually just got to love Sarah!

"Accelerate More Steadily During Thrust Articulation" -- solid advice, Mercedes.

That 3rd row seating demo was hilarious! 😂

I don't know how you find outfits to coordinate with your review vehicles, but it is appreciated. Your entire attention to angles and aesthetics is amazing. Stay Awesome

I worked for Mercedes back in the Pleistocene era. They've ALWAYS been very engineering savvy. And the parts that make the car go, stop and turn have always been top notch. I'm not surprised that you were impressed. I daily, and love, my 1991 Mercedes Benz 250TD: Wagon. Diesel. 5 speed.

Amazing off road review in a Merc monster. Nobody does it better!

Not a Mercedes fan, but gotta give props for that hill climb on street tires.

I love how you know a lot about the vehicle before the review, but then when you're taking a closer look, you nerd out like a kid in a candy store. It's so much more authentic than any other "car reviewer" RU-vidr.

Wait. Backing up a hill off road, who even thinks of testing that? Kudos Sarah.

Steering wheel heat switch is on the left side of the steering column. I had to look it up in the manual - before that I used "Hey. Mercedes" too! For the seats, there is a switch on top of the second row seats near the headrest that will move them forward electronically. There's also a switch in the arm rests of the third row to open/close the seats (so you aren't at the mercy of someone to open them!). Smallest wheels MB supports are 21"; I bought a set for winter tires and have the 22" for the summers.

"it's going off road anyway..." - exactly what I wanted to hear! Another top-notch review! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!

On A/T tires, this would be an off-road beast. Really impressive already with those street tires.

So Mercedes has resumed building vehicles to a standard, not a price point--you can spec a Jeep Grand Wagoneer to cost almost as much as this GLS580. Super review: thorough, on point.

I'm diggin the new special effects in your videos, Sarah! 👍

Sarah, your car reviews only get better and better. Thanks!

That jacket is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Always enjoy your reviews. They’re happy, informative and top notch.

As always, a thorough and unbiased evaluation of a vehicle. Pretty sure I heard a meow coming from the catalytic converter… Butters? That jacket you had on in the vehicle is fire… pure class befitting a Merc. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

Wow this is an impressive car! Both in styling, functionality, driving and off road etc. Obviously it’s a lot of money, but I think you get so much for what you are paying.

Love you, Sarah, and your reviews are GREAT!!!

I just love the expression on your face as you anticipate the break tests... 😂... Brilliant. Another great review.

great review

So glad you are true to yourself and you are who you are. Keep up the great work!

I love your jacket when testing the brakes.

I'd love to see Sarah review an AMG G63, that thing looks like it has real off road potential.

Always liked 4x4 Mrec's but I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one.. Great review, love that you actually put it up a hill and took it offroad!

Excellent presentation from German engineers, thanks 🙏

I really like that coat in the brake test section. It looks cool.

Great informative review. Considering that there is no low range, the Mercedes AWD system did an outstanding job going up the hill on street tires.

Really fun video! You must be extraordinarily busy making all these videos and getting work done in your own projects.

TANK , Have a great week Sarah

Somewhere you learned not only Mechanics (USAF) but also broadcasting speech. This vehicle was really impressive on your offroad segment: I was 'flabbergasted' by the low score you gave it, especially considering how it did with the wrong sort of tires.

I love your reviews. They are so very thorough and also fun. You need your own TV show...

I particularly enjoy the off road test on your car reviews

The very best reviews!

Sweet ride!

Great video Sarah love what you are wearing nice Mercedes impressed with it😊

Just looking at it, the diff cover makes tons of sense. It has fins to dump heat, a drain plug, and it’s facing the technician. Unusual, definitely. An Improvement, i think so.

lol!!! Yoiu went back up in reverse!!! YEAHHH!!! lol loved this!

Thanks!

Love your reviews. ✌️🇺🇸

Awesome video thanks 😊🎉😮🎉

Yes, the seat bolster test!!!!

thanks best I have ever seen of coveing a car.make more please

Sarah, the steering wheel heating switch is on the left side of the steering column behind the wheel. Not ideal, but once you develop some muscle memory on its location, it's easy to deploy. Or just use the voice control as you demonstrated.

That off road test with Pzero tires was a big surprise. I am sure MB was not expecting a reviewer to do that.

This thing is huge!

Love your jacket in the car

Support Sarah~❤~❤~❤

Great Review! I’d love to see your offroad impressions of the new Lexus GX550!

Great review as always, Sarah. Missed opportunity to test/show bounce mode in your off-road testing! Would have been perfect as you are more comfortable off-road and adventurous than most (besides WD ofc).

That's a 1st time goin up that hill backwards worked a treat . You're right about fuel consumption if you're gonna pay that much for it you aint gonna worry about the price of gas. over here ( nz) were paying just under $$3 bucks a litre

Hi Sarah I love your reviews please do more Mercedes review love them

Aluminum does get "white rust" especially with road salt on it. Its gets eaten away faster than steel sometimes.

I love the lab coat and the boots combo!

Great video

Thanks Sarah ! 🌻🐧

I noticed a while ago the outfits matching with the cars you review, Jeans with this color 👌🔥

Cup holder reaction was amazing. 😅

Cooling for phone wireless charging. Neat!

running boards are aluminum with rubber grip ovals

Love the blue Jacket

Steering wheel heat button is on the tilt/telescope adjustment stalk.

What's more impressive about climbing that hill is that it did it at 7,485lbs. It's a beast!

The hill climbs are insane!

I’m down with the heated and cooled cup holders

Cool thanks 🎉

The rear diff(erential) is diff(erent). 😁 Heated and cooled cup holders! 😳 That’s awesome.

Yes, we enjoyed the review. We always enjoy your reviews.

Great review! Now I understand why it’s such an expensive vehicle!

I love it when you sprechen "Billschtein" se gut.

The stop and go feature can be disabled. Highly recommend disabling it.

Usually the heated steering wheel switch is on stalk that you use to tilt and telescope, you twist a know on the end of it. ( thats what my cls has)

I wish all vehicles were made with this level of quality.

I used to work for MB - GLS is a solid vehicle. Hope you get to test the G Wagon, only MB vehicle made in Austria...

I don't know what goes into my upcoming suggestion, so disregard if you wish. It'd be interesting to know the actual distance it takes to stop from whatever speed you're traveling during the brake tests. It could be interesting to compare against other vehicles in the segment as well. Obviously, tires make a huge difference, but if it's what the manufacturer recommends, that's important to know as well.

Those seats look comfier than my couch!

Super impressive truck! The AMG version would be crazy.

HEY DON'T BE BASHING THE 40'S STATION. That is a great station. 🙂 Great video.

Interesting. Many of us will never drive a higher end vehicle that is an suv. Performance vehicles, yes. The kind that don't make sense. I'd like to see a long term maintenance profile. Thank you, Ms. Sarah.

Muy buenas tomas aéreas en la parte de off Road 👍

Mind blown going up and down that steep hill😮😮😮

Great review. Vehicle itself beyond my normal price range, but nice to get an idea of the experience from you. As for the radio, who listens to SiriusXM 40's Junction... (raises hand) 👋 And no I'm not 80... I have very eclectic music tastes.

Cool review ! And, about the only Mercedes product I could see driving......now how hot will the cup holders get ?

"removable but plug" ... well this is going to be an awesome review!

If it’s similar to the previous generation there’s a button on the top of the second row seats that automatically collapse the seats forward for easy access to the 3rd row.

The third row is a lot easier to get to than the way you did it. There is a button on the top of the second row seatback. That makes the seats automatically tumble forward.

I hope you get to review a G wagen. When you do please do a full off road review!

You accidentally left the Toyota Sequoia towing graphics in.

Beautiful mercedes

That color is so,p beautiful 4.0 liter is still a legend!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pretty nice build from Hanz and Franz in Alabama.

I'd be curious to see your take on the full AMG version of this. I'm usually not a huge fan of the performance editions of normal cars, but since the GLS in any guise is super luxury _and_ you can get those gigantic monoblocks either chrome or black on the AMG GLS it'd be my pick if I had that kinda money.

I’m lucky enough to have the Mercedes Benz World nearby, (UK) and driving the G-Waggoner across their off-road course is so much fun. Unbelievable how slow a Merc can go up steep inclines, and also how much it can lean over, something stupid like 62°.

The induction set up with the twin turbos along with their orientation and an electric supercharger is very similar to the Audi 2.9 set up is some of their RS models.

Now I’d like to see a MB GLE and E class, please

Thanks

Beautiful vehicle but way north of my cash availability for sure. Mercedes does know how to built a quality vehicle for sure. That powertrain is probably pretty much bulletproof. Nice review as usual Sarah.👍👍🇨🇦

Great review of an incredible car! I have generally considered Mercedes a bit excessive & unremarkable for their price point (i.e. the 2nd world war G-Wagon ( I drive a V8 Jeep Overland), but this SUV seems to knock it out of the park for its price range. I would struggle to justify the additional cost for a Bentley comparing it to this offering, which has been a consideration. Your review seems to have nailed the driveability & comfort considerations, especially that back-up the hill.😁 You would be an incredible Granddaughter to have along as a vehicle shopping companion. Cheers

It's a hot V bc the exhaust ports are on the inside of the V, and thus turbos are put there for energy reasons. It's not hot bc the turbos are in there.
