The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS in Covington LA is a great luxury large SUV. It has a lineup of muscular twin-turbocharged engines and engaging handling that belies its bulk. The GLS is a seven-seater with a spacious, luxurious cabin that pampers its occupants. Unfortunately, the GLS cannot keep up with the luxury offered on the 2019 Lincoln Navigator in Covington LA.
The Lincoln Navigator is one of the best vehicles in the luxury large SUV class. Offering everything large-SUV shoppers are looking for, the Lincoln Navigator features three spacious rows of seats, one of the roomiest cargo areas in its class, and plenty of standard features. It also maintains a very composed ride for such a large vehicle.
Interior
Up to eight people can fit in the Lincoln Navigator and drivers have the option to choose between second-row bucket seats (8 total seats) or captain’s chairs (7 total seats). While the Mercedes GLS also seats up to eight, the Lincoln Navigator has a roomier feel inside.
Crash Test Results in the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS in Covington LA
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2019 Lincoln Navigator a five-out-of-five-star overall crash test rating.
GLS Interior
The Mercedes-Benz GLS in Covington LA seats seven people and does not have the option for second row bucket seats to accommodate eight. The standard front seats provide all-day comfort, and you can up the luxury quotient with available multicontour seats that also have a massaging function. Tall occupants will likely feel a little cramped, though.
The GLS' interior includes plenty of high-end trim pieces and design elements, like wood and metal inlays, though it is sometimes easy to recognize the synthetic leather upholstery.
GLS Cargo Space
The 2019 GLS has average cargo space for a luxury large SUV. Behind the third row, you'll get 16 cubic feet, which is more than 3 cubic feet less than the Lincoln Navigator offers. With both back rows folded down, the GLS swallows up 93.8 cubic feet of cargo, which is about 10 cubic feet less than in the Lincoln Navigator.
GLS Engine: Not a Bad One in the Bunch
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS in Covington LA offers a choice of three engines. The standard outfit is a 362-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 that gets the large GLS moving with little drama. For more authoritative muscle, look to the 449-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 in the GLS 550. Both of these engines deliver sharp throttle response and feel powerful in any situation but are still not as powerful as the engine in the Lincoln Navigator.
