Technically, though, it is a new car for 2017, never before seen by the world we call Earth, and it is already the best large SUV that money can buy. Would you say Mercedes-Benz hit this one out of the park, into the drive, and over the rainbow?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-14798 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2016\/12\/22124818\/2017-Mercedes-Benz-GLS-1-B_o.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS exterior rear\" width=\"449\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2016\/12\/22124818\/2017-Mercedes-Benz-GLS-1-B_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2016\/12\/22124818\/2017-Mercedes-Benz-GLS-1-B_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>GLS450<\/h3>\n<p>The GLS450 is the entry level for the brand&#8217;s flagship SUV. Honestly, we would prefer the Mercedes-AMG GLS63, but we can&#8217;t argue with Car and Driver that the GLS450 is the best value. With the GLS450, neither the price, nor the gas pedal, will make you nauseous, which is much of the goal when you are a muppet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14797 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2016\/12\/22124816\/2017-Mercedes-Benz-GLS-2-B_o.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS interior\" width=\"374\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2016\/12\/22124816\/2017-Mercedes-Benz-GLS-2-B_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/177\/2016\/12\/22124816\/2017-Mercedes-Benz-GLS-2-B_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<p>The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 comes with a 3.0L V6 biturbo that puts out 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. What is even more impressive though, is that the GLS450 has the same maximum towing capacity as the GLS63 SUV with 561 lb-ft of torque.
