I hope the the v8 models do away with the bumper cladding. I particularly dislike it.

Rear Wheel steering

Hi!
Does anyone think or know if the new GLS will have rear wheel steering, the one that will come with the upcoming S-class?

Looks really nice and with the longer wheelbase it will be difficult maneuvering the vehicle if not...

I have read on one site that it will have it but can’t find it again...

Both q7 and x7 has it as an option and it reduces turning radius by aprox 1m...

hopefully it will look better in person. The spy shots are a little underwhelming. I was hoping it would be more aggressive looking. Doesn’t look that different from the 17-19

if you’re interested in a 63, I’m sure it will look much more aggressive. The 550 or 580 will probably be a little more aggressive too

Mercedes is starting to go backwards in exterior design. These need to look bolder.

Starting to look like the round floating blobs. Like the Audi qX series

It's beautiful IMO. Not as dynamic as the X7, but still gorgeous.

I agree, the x7 design seems like its to much. Not a fan of the front. Plus bmw interiors lately have been pretty standard and dull.

The new GLS looks great, I hope they also offer those AMG wheels on the inline 6 version as it really completes the vehicle.

The lines look pretty nice. Can’t wait to see the amg’s. I’m also hoping the interior is higher grade then the GLE. When I had my S63, some features I loved was the passenger and driver can have different fan speeds. That made a big difference with my wife and I. Magic sky control was well worth it too. I occasionally used the night vision camera. The most useful reason for that, was it would spot pedestrians and animals way before I saw them and would pop up on the screen.


I test test drive the x7, if they had an m version, I might have done it. The interior just felt very luxury. It truly felt like a 7 series.
