The MERCEDES-BENZ GLS (2015-19) GLS350 4MATIC 5DR SUV 3.0D V6 DPFR SS 258 EU6 GRAND EDITION 9G-T AUTO is a large, premium seven-seat-style SUV, aimed at buyers wanting more space and presence than a typical family car. In the UK market, it sits near the top end of luxury SUVs, with four-wheel drive and a refined diesel engine suited to longer journeys. It can suit larger families, regular travellers and drivers who tow or carry substantial luggage, although its size and running costs make it less natural for tight city streets. The Grand Edition’s generous equipment, commanding driving position and comfortable, quiet feel help it stand out; the GLS is known for offering a more imposing, lounge-like experience than many rivals such as the BMW X5 and Audi Q7. mycarcheck.com has recorded 176 checks across 67 different VINs, a useful sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £46,100, mileage around 51,000, and just over one previous keeper, suggesting many examples have had relatively limited ownership overall.
