Driving the GLS

Next, my husband and I took turns driving the GLS. Until a couple of years ago, I was a paper driver, and I was a "I could never drive a car bigger than a Prius.I never thought that the day would come when I would be driving a GLS....

I started running and felt like aYou don't feel this much body size at all.This was the case. Is that what SUVs are like these days? It was so small and easy to drive that it was hard to believe that the width was over 2 meters. The steering wheel was also light and easy to operate.

And then...Driving it felt "just light."One would think that at 2.5 tons, one would feel a certain amount of weight, but it was absolutely light. On the contrary, the ground feel was thin and even felt a little fluffy.

This is entirely a matter of taste, but I personally thinkIf it is a luxury car, I like the ride to have some sense of heft.I think that if the car is powerful, its heft is perceived as a positive feeling of luxury rather than heaviness. In this regard, my husband

I think the trend these days is for cars to ride lighter, even European cars. Also, if you compare sedans and SUVs, there you go.A sedan with a lower ride height is more luxurious.My old S coupe was much more comfortable."

He said.

Nevertheless, it is easy to drive from many angles. The ability to change lanes automatically when you give the indicator, the ability to change gears with a lever without taking your hands off the steering wheel, the

The camera's image is so clear that you can immediately see the sides of the vehicle and obstacles.In addition, the GLS is equipped with a monitor function that allows the driver to see if a car is coming from the side, which is very useful on narrow three-way roads in the case of the long front section of the GLS.

In addition to these safety features, the S-Class comes standard with a massage function that helps to relax the body after long-distance driving. I actually experienced the massage, which was neither too strong nor too weak, and it was very good, within a range that did not interfere with driving.

I don't think there is a town that is truly supreme in these aspects and comfortable to drive in.

Also, "Cup holder with hot/cold functionIt's also big, easy to put in, and very solid.(A far cry from the Porsche.)The "hot" and "cold" modes can be switched at the touch of a button. The "hot/cold" setting can be toggled at the touch of a button, allowing cold drinks to remain cold and hot drinks to remain hot.

I am very impressed...I want this cup holder....

Incidentally, in the accessory compartment located behind this cup holder, a Qi standard-compliant smartphone can be charged simply by placing it in the cup holder.

This kind of attention to detail and functionality for comfort is as good as it gets, andMost of them are included from the beginning, even if you don't have to add options one by one.How truly wonderful.

Even his wife, who is not a good driver, would be able to operate the car with ease and be able to drive it well enough.

However, this time, the "Smooth ride, luxurious feelSince I had made the point of using the "GLS" as a point of reference, I was left feeling a little underwhelmed, having raised my expectations too high in advance. I mean, this is not GLS's fault.I shouldn't have taken the liberty of raising my expectations too high.Totally my fault....

My husband told me that

Mina, you usually drive a nice car too much. If it comes to that...The only other option is "Cullinan."YANNON (laughs)
If it was a wife who got on the GLS without knowing that, I think she would usually be more impressed.

I was told. No really, you are right, sorry, sorry....

GLS, buy...?

Initially, I said, "I don't want an SUV to be that sporty, so a GLS or X7 seems like a good choice instead of a Cayenne," so I tried to be more conscious of ride quality than driving comfort on this test drive...

I'll be honest when I say that ratings vary widely depending on personal preferences.The current Cayenne had a higher quality, smoother ride.I felt that the Cayenne was "better" than the Cayenne. I thought the Cayenne was superior, especially in terms of the luxury of the driving experience.

And the Cayenne's ride quality is even better than the Panamera sedan, which is amazing... I was struck by the Cayenne's greatness in a reverse way.(Sorry, I'm really a Porsche fan.)

My husband agreed with me on this area, and I hope you can look forward to his feedback at a later date.
