2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS Vs. 2020 Audi Q8

Comparison between 2020 GLS and 2020 Q8

The idea of a flagship SUV is one that offers confidence for those looking to both explore an adventurous side and spend their daily drives in the utmost comfort and convenience. For Mercedes-Benz, the GLS has always signified the best an SUV could offer and does well to live up to its nickname as the “S-Class of SUVs.”

Today, we’re comparing the striking and bold 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS to the Audi Q8, the flagship SUV from the Volkswagen group. While both vehicles possess a fashionable style and are imbued with the iconic principles of German engineering, they differ on their approach to offering premier luxury.

Mercedes-Benz Proves Top of Luxury SUV Segment with Incredible 2020 GLS SUV

As the above chart illustrates, Mercedes-Benz brings some of the best features and specs you would expect in an SUV to the compelling flagship segment. Compared with competition from Audi, the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, or high performance GLS 580, are an easy decision – offering so much more.

With the base model 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, you have nearly 10% more power than is offered on the base Audi Q8. This power is better utilized courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV’s 9G-TRONIC® 9-speed automatic transmission. But the improvements over the Q8 don’t end there.

With the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450, you’re getting an air suspension that provides, like it sounds, a smooth and pillowy drive that doesn’t sacrifice the kind of handling and driving dynamics you expect from Mercedes-Benz.
