Hi All,

After driving Audi for over 10 years, I made a switch to (my first Mercedes) 2020 GLS 450 this week. Of all the good things to say, the 'design' aspect is the killer.

Coming to a possibly pointless concern, I am noticing subtle engine noise/roar/sound while accelerating. It is more pronounced at lower gears, especially D2,D3 & D4. Once I am in D5 or above, its not noticeable.

But this noise seems to be little intriguing. I am also attaching a recording, you can here the sound between 10-13s.

It would be great, if you guys can share your insights on this.

Thanks.

 

I see my case more similar to one of the threads under X166 platform.

I am taking the car to the dealership tomorrow and will share the findings here.
