Since we already have sporty cars like the GT3, <strong>an SUV that\u2019s the opposite\u2014a luxurious, comfortable ride\u2014is what we want.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With that mindset, I was very interested in the Mercedes-Benz GLS, known as a luxurious SUV.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of the test drive, we didn\u2019t go to a dealer but to Mercedes me Osaka.

Based on that, I had three main points I was curious about:<\/p>\n<p class=\"well2\"><strong>\u2713 How smooth is the ride really?<\/strong><br \/>\nEveryone in the videos praised it as \u201cluxurious\u201d and \u201csmooth,\u201d so my expectations were quite high.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2713 How comfortable is the rear seat?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen our family rented the previous generation GLS in the U.S. for about a week, some roads were poorly paved, and the rear seats shook like a bus, making me feel sick and sleep most of the time. So I was curious how much the new model improved rear seat comfort compared to the previous one.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2713 How refined and luxurious does it feel to drive?<\/strong><br \/>\nCar critics highly praised it in the videos, so I imagined it would feel like driving our old S63 Coupe but as an SUV\u2014rich and smooth. I wanted to experience that.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026 to be honest, this preparation backfired. I raised my expectations so much that I imagined a ride as rich and smooth as a Bentley Bentayga\u2019s, and I deeply regret not going in with no prior knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>So first, I sat in the second row (rear seats).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8342.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As expected of the GLS, the seat quality was superb\u2014thick and very comfortable. The space was also very generous. Even with the seat slid all the way forward, there was still plenty of legroom.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8356.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, when sitting deeply into the seat, my feet didn\u2019t even touch the floor, so I think tall men can sit very comfortably. <span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(And I guess my legs must be pretty short.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8355.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The seatback reclines, so long drives should be very comfortable.

The third-row seats also have heaters and independent climate controls. Plus, <strong>you can still load luggage in the trunk even when the third row is occupied.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Truly impressive.<\/p>\n<p>The second-row armrest also has great storage and sturdy cup holders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18968\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8358.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8359.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After that, my husband drove on public roads.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18962\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Compared to the previous generation GLS we drove, <strong>there was less shaking.<\/strong> But since the test route was in Osaka city with well-paved roads, that difference might have been significant.<\/p>\n<p>The ride was smooth and relaxed, but <strong>it didn\u2019t feel like it perfectly absorbed every bump; there was a slight floating sensation.<\/strong> When we tried adjusting the ride height <span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(the suspension stiffness can\u2019t be changed)<\/span>, raising the height made the ride feel much firmer.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, lowering the ride height makes the ride firmer, but for the GLS SUV, raising the height tightens the suspension, making it feel firmer, we were told.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>the firmer setting made the rear seats feel quite bumpy, so the normal ride height felt more comfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That said, honestly, I felt <strong>the current Cayenne\u2019s rear seats were more stable and smoother.<\/strong> But during our test, only three of the seven seats were occupied, so with more passengers, it might have felt more stable. Also, my husband said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">The new E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL system seems amazing. It\u2019s equipped on the GLS580, and I think that would make a big difference in ride comfort. I\u2019m curious about that one too.<\/p>\n<p>To repeat, the problem was that I raised my expectations too high by watching videos beforehand. <strong>The GLS is undoubtedly a wonderful car,<\/strong> and without prior knowledge, I\u2019m sure I would have been more impressed.<\/p>\n<p>More than the ride, <strong>the perfect features that cover every little need create a luxurious atmosphere and comfort that everyone, including passengers, can fully enjoy.<\/strong> That\u2019s the real strength of the GLS.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/entry\/mercedes-gls-testdrive-20007\/3\/\">Next page \u2192 My impressions after driving the GLS\u2026!<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">Driving the GLS<\/h3>\n<p>Next, I switched with my husband and got to drive the GLS myself. Just a few years ago, I was a nervous driver who said, <strong>\u201cThere\u2019s no way I can drive a car bigger than a Prius,\u201d<\/strong> so I never imagined I\u2019d be driving a GLS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18967\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8363.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Right away, I noticed <strong>you don\u2019t feel the large body size at all.<\/strong> Maybe that\u2019s common with modern SUVs. Even though it\u2019s over 2 meters wide, it\u2019s surprisingly nimble and easy to maneuver. The steering was light and easy to handle.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <strong>the driving feel was \u201cjust light.\u201d<\/strong> I expected to feel some weight with a 2.5-ton vehicle, but it felt very light. On the other hand, it felt a bit floaty, as if lacking ground contact.<\/p>\n<p>This is purely personal preference, but I like a certain weighty feel in a luxury car\u2019s ride. When a car has power, that weightiness doesn\u2019t feel heavy but adds to the premium feel. My husband said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">\u201cIt\u2019s a recent trend that European cars have lighter ride feels. Also, comparing sedans and SUVs, <strong>sedans with lower ride height naturally feel more luxurious.<\/strong> The S Coupe we had before definitely rode better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s true that the GLS is easy to drive in many ways. It has features like automatic lane change when signaling, gear shifting via a lever without taking hands off the steering wheel,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>and <strong>very clear camera images that make it easy to check the sides and obstacles.<\/strong> It also has a monitor to check for cars approaching from the side, which is very helpful at narrow intersections given the GLS\u2019s long front end.<\/p>\n<p>On top of these abundant safety features, the S-Class also comes standard with a massage function that soothes your tired body on long drives. I tried it, and it was just right\u2014not too strong or weak\u2014and didn\u2019t interfere with driving.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18965\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8349.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This level of thoughtful detail makes for a truly comfortable drive.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the <strong>heated and cooled cup holders<\/strong> are large, easy to use, and very sturdy <span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(a big difference from Porsche)<\/span>. With the push of a button, you can switch between heating and cooling, keeping your drinks just right.<\/p>\n<p>I was really impressed\u2026 I want these cup holders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18966\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_8364.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"898\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By the way, the small storage compartment behind the cup holders supports Qi wireless charging\u2014just place your compatible smartphone there to charge.<\/p>\n<p>This attention to detail and pursuit of comfort is impressive, and <strong>most of these features come standard without needing to add options.<\/strong> Truly wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Even drivers who aren\u2019t confident can operate it safely and enjoy driving it fully.<\/p>\n<p>That said, since I focused on \u201csmooth ride and luxury feel,\u201d my raised expectations made me feel a bit underwhelmed. But this isn\u2019t the GLS\u2019s fault\u2014it\u2019s entirely my own fault for setting my expectations too high.<\/p>\n<p>My husband said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">\u201cMina, you\u2019re just used to great cars, haha.
