Hi

I am trying to decide between a gls63 vs a fully loaded GLS 450. The dealers have inflated the price of gls63 quite a bit so trying to understand if it's worth paying the premium vs getting a fully loaded base gls.

From what I understand, outside of multiple differences the key ones that popped up for me were the horsepower and the front grill. I understand there are more wheel and color choices in the gls63 but i can compromise on that

I wanted to ask this group if folks have input on how to go about deciding between the two vehicles and how might I think about going for one or the other

Have a 2021 GLS 63, yes the horsepower is attractive, but outside of that the cars are identical. If price is no issue go for the AMG as it’s nice to be able to have some fun and the exhaust note is great. Driving in sport plus is especially fun and it’s almost unbelievable how quick the car is for how exceptionally large it is. make sure if you opt for the 450 to get the AMG line package to eliminate the black fenders imo they’re the only bad thing abt the non AMG variants. But they’re both beautiful vehicles and I’m sure you will love either one, best of luck

I agree with GLS63AZ.

The only reason to get the AMG is if you really like the power and torque. If you like to "race" around a little or put stock sports cars to shame, get the AMG.
