Mercedes GLS

The GLS — usually just called the GLS — is Mercedes' flagship SUV, wrapping limousine-like comfort and commanding road presence into a smart, family-ready package. It pampers occupants with a hushed cabin, premium materials and intuitive tech, while still managing to feel confident and a little indulgent on the daily commute.

It's shockingly usable for a hypercar, equally at home carving country roads or turning heads at the valet, and it will leave you grinning like you just skipped a very responsible meeting.
