The apex model of the GLS-Class lineup hikes the price up quite substantially, and aside from offering a much more powerful engine, it’s pretty similar to the base model. Minor upgrades include five-zone climate control, ventilated front seats that have a massage function as well as some extra contouring for optimal comfort. Soft-close doors round off the cosmetic changes. This model also gets different front and rear lower fascia and 21-inch wheels. It’s only worth considering if you’re hooked on the allure of more power from the brawny V8.
