2016 GL63 vs 2017 GLS550

Trying to choose between one..
Similar mileage, both CPO, GL63 about $5K more.
Most likely will sell or trade in 3 years.
What do you guys think?

Thanks

Higher horsepower vehicle will be more fun.

Newer vehicle will will be more reliable and bring a higher price in 3 years.

What are your priorities?

Would have gone 63 over 550 unless the 550 has Active Curve which most do NOT. Outside of more hp in the 63 the Active Curve suspension is a major part of the cost diff and make me a huge diff in the feeling of driving with reduced body roll.

Any update you can share? How is it so far? I have one in the short list, probably looking at a November purchase though unless I can turn in the current lease early.
Thanks.

I end up getting 2017 GLS550 cpo with two more years of unlimited miles cpo warranty. Could have gotten new GLS450 but didn't care for styling and felt bit underpowered.
Traded in 2018 GX460 Premium that i bought new and had 10k miles.
so far so good. love the power of v8 twin turbo and still managed to get 19mpg mainly on freeways.
need more time behind the wheel to have detailed feed back.

GLS 550

Congratulations! I also have a 2017 GLS550, and it's been a great vehicle. My wife daily drives it and she loves it, and she won't trade it for anything else. I been thinking about installing a dash camera and radar, I will update once i get the project going.
