Sightlines are excellent in every direction, too. There's three-stage heating and ventilation, heated armrests, and a massage function for the seats. The front chairs are monumentally comfortable, with ample support and a huge range of adjustability. Was there ever any doubt it'd earn perfect marks here? There really isn't a bad place in this cabin. Brown leather and real wood and metal accents are the primary material highlights each is, of course, perfectly executed. Big, chonky handles on the center console are natural rest points and serve as a reminder that the GLS actually has some off-road talent. HVAC outlets flank the display, while four rectangular vents sit below the infotainment portion of the slab. The GLS has some distinct touches that separate it from Mercedes' cars, though. In the cabin, the GLS adopts Mercedes' current design philosophy: a great honking slab atop in the dashboard that houses twin 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment and gauge cluster. And anyway, there's nothing wrong with the 21-inch setup – these wheels are big enough that it isn't outwardly obvious that they're the standardalloy. Sure, the bigger alloys look flashy, but the ride isn’t as plush.
We're also thankful for the standard 21-inch wheels, rather than the available 23s. Still, this is a broadly attractive vehicle, especially in our tester's Mojave Silver paint. The wide, gaping grille and somewhat derpy headlights emphasize the SUV's bigness, although the slim taillights look out of place in relation. It's refined, but Mercedes doesn't try to hide the GLS' size. The lines are clean and crisp, but it’s not overstyled. But despite its sheer girth – 17.1 feet long with over 10 feet between the axles – Mercedes' designers have crafted a cohesive, stylish design that was absent in the last-generation GLS.
