also, peekerautomotive was talked about Mercedes Benz cars in specific topics
while both of the twin-turbo V8 options feel more muscular

well with both the base engine and the midrange engine
the seven-speed automatic is an older transmission, but
it pairs well with the AMG’s engine

the midrange engine returns an estimated 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway and the AMG GLS earns 13/18 mpg city/highway
the Mercedes Benz GLS has balanced handling and driving dynamics, with accurate steering and controlled body motions
