2025 GLS Selector
FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS 580, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The V8-powered GLS 580 commands a hefty premium over the base GLS 450, but the 580's twin-turbo V8 is so rewarding that we think it's worth it. Seriously, if you're going to get a three-row luxury SUV, you want effortless acceleration even with a full load, right? The V8 in the 580 gives you that, whereas the base inline-6 in the 450 may not, although it's a great engine in its own right.
