    2020 Mercedes GLS Leaks Out ahead of NY Auto Show

      ...Big Benz Leaks Big...

    With most of the releases of the New York International Auto Show officially out already, there is not much left to leak.  However, there was still the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS that was yet to be seen.  A trove of those pictures have leaked out tonight.

    We'll leave these here for you to peruse and comment on, but as this is an unofficial leak there is no technical information available yet.

    Not much a departure from the current, but I think that is good.  The interior is a big upgrade, that is where the current model seems dated.  I like the sport front facia more than the standard, overall I think the exterior looks good, familiar but more modern.   The interior with the back seat upgrade looks more the like S-class of SUVs.  

    I assume the 48 volt I-6 is standard and the 4.0 V8 is optional.  

    Who picked that green paint?  They aren't going to sell many of those.

    Fun fact, they have another 3-row SUV debuting next week.

    At GM, shiny chrome = luxury.  At Mercedes it doesn't.   The GLS has done well, and they have to consider Chinese and European tastes also, as the USA is Mercedes' 3rd biggest market.  I think this will hit the mark.

    Best looking Green CUV from MB I have seen yet to date.

    Interior is Meh!

    Not sure why but I just do not get the interior design MB puts in them. The steering wheel reminds me of something 1980's, the grab holds on the center section between the seats clearly will be in the way of large people's legs and worse yet make people drop drinks and other stuff as they grab for stuff in the center area.

    Give them credit for doing a decent vents on this compared to the cheap ass circle ones they have on the cars that reminds me of cheap circle vents on the fords.

    I do like the large flat screen section of the dash, easy to read, see, etc. Rest looks right for the market, be interesting to see how comfortable the seats are.

    Exterior I do like and while @smk4565 does not think it will sell in Green, at least here in the PNW Green sells. White does not except to Asians looking for purity.

    I agree with @balthazar this does NOT look any more luxurious than the Buick.

    Looks great. These things are just fantastic vehicles. If i had to pick a big SUV to travel cross country in with a family and cargo in tow, it'd be a GLS all the way. I love the clean, subtle design here. Mercedes is doing some damn impressive things these days.

    Overall, I like it. It doesn't look like anything special and there's definitely zero "wow factor" to it. 

    You'd think they wouldn't have wanted to succeed to Lincoln in the interior game..but they certainly did. It's definitely an upgrade from the current one but it isn't a game changer. 

    Also, that green might not sell but boy-oh-boy is it pretty. I'm quite obsessed with dark "colors" lately. Dark green, dark blue, dark red... Love'm.

    I was just in a new 101K Navigator recently, and I can tell you right now, even at that trim level, they are not an equal to Mercedes interior finishes, materials, fitment, tactility, and quality.

    That said, I do like the the new Lincoln SUV's quite a lot, especially the Aviator.

    • Blame a democrat?  They want to start a civil war with the left yet at the same time complain why there is no empathy for dear ole Charlie and at the same time say that empathy is a made up word with no meaning and empathy is not only a human weakness but empathy is also evil.  Therefore... Is it really horrible  when it comes to death, regardless of how that death was arranged, of misinforming, misleading, false narrative, hate filled  pricks that fuel hatred, bigotry, sexism, racism, homophobic rhetoric designed to divide? For me...it is not horrible when garbage is taken out.  It is necessary.   A society lets people and politicians like Trump and Charlie to spew lies and hatred and divisions happen within that society. Fascism creeps in and takes control.  The truth gets buried and never comes back.  Free speech for me but not for thee is standard practice.  Political violence is tolerated ONLY by those who want to take control.  And in this case, religion is used as a shield.  I find it repulsive when Christianity is used and abused the way it has been by America as a Greek Orthodox practitioner myself.  I also find it repulsive when right wing a55ho77e5 want to silence me by using my kindness, my religion against me as saying I am of the tolerant left and I should NOT revolt back because political violence is not a defining Christian trait and freedoms of this and freedoms of that.  Yet...the right wing BREAKS ALL OF THE RULES.  Hate speech begets hate. Charlie fueled hate. Charlie got hate back. By his own ilk un-ironically. Charlie tolerated violence. School shootings and public executions. Charlie got killed in a school setting by a very public setting. All that he tolerated and was killed by the very thing he preached and praised. By his own flock un-ironically.  And he did not get ANY empathy as even he admitted that empathy is INHUMANE and evil.  Well, colour me inhumane and evil, but I am only following his doctrine.  About religion and violence...Greece is thousands of years old. Greece has seen ALL kinds of political violence in its existence. The Hellenic peoples have seen it all throughout our history on this planet.  About political violence and Christianity being or not being involved. If any of you do not know what was the Ottoman empire, I suggest you read a history book.     As you could see, even if I am not American, (although Im very close in being one), I MOURN the state of the US possibly MORE than some of you that are phoquing afraid to fight for your rights and freedoms!!!    Take BACK your country!!! 
    • Yeah, someone skilled with a rifle in Utah and they immediately wanted to blame a democrat 
    • (Notice  I chose old geezers to wish you a happy birthday?)    (notice that I used a donkey to simulate that Im joking?  Because I could be such an ass sometimes?)   
    • White cis male from a Mormon gun lovin' and totin' family, Halloween Trump costume wearin' Utah resident no less, at that.
