How does the vehicle configuration change?
The entry-level version of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 imported in parallel is the American version 19 small skylight, which is produced by the manufacturer on the basis of standard configuration, and the lighting package and parking assistance package are removed. Compared with the standard version, the simple version of the high beam is halogen, full LED headlights with reduced geometric beams, adaptive high beam, automatic parking and 360-degree panoramic image.
Although some configurations are missing, compared with 19 Mercedes-Benz GLS Standard Edition, the configurations of 20 simplified versions are not low. The new GLS has changed a lot in configuration, and the standard configuration is much higher than the old one. Take the American GLS450 standard edition as an example. P0 1 component, lighting component, parking aid component, Berlin audio and ADS adaptive damping, etc. What needs to be optional in the old model has become standard in the new model.
Even if there is no lighting package and parking assistance package, the rest of the configuration is very high. The new configuration includes: welcome pedal light, 64-color atmosphere light, 9 USB interfaces, touch panel, MBU human-computer interaction system, Apple CarPlay, dual 12-inch touch screen, rear seat electric folding, Berlin stereo, wireless charging, comfortable entry, inductive tailgate, blind area monitoring, getting off early warning system, 48V mixed light and ADS adaptive damping.
Why can the lowest price reach 850 thousand?
Although they are all short versions, the prices are different. There are three main reasons for this. The first is color. As the world's best-selling 7-seat large luxury SUV, Mercedes-Benz GLS is deeply loved by bosses. Therefore, the white body is one of the most difficult colors for GLS to sell, not only in China, but also in the world. Not only that, the prices of ordinary paint and optional metallic paint will be different.
The second is futures and spot. Compared with the spot car source, the future car source will have certain advantages, but the car booking deposit will be more and the time is uncertain. The third is that businesses will withdraw funds, and there will be different degrees of concessions.
electric power system
In terms of power, the new GLS450 adopts Mercedes-Benz's brand-new 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, replacing the old 3.0-liter V6 engine. Although the straight 6 engine is not as compact as V6, the engine compartment layout is relatively difficult. However, the straight -6 engine is considered as the most perfect cylinder arrangement because of its natural vibration self-cancellation and self-balance without a balance shaft.
The power parameters of the straight 6 engine of the new GLS are the same as those of the old V6 engine. The maximum power is 367 HP and the peak torque is 500 Nm, matching the 9AT gearbox. Although the dynamic parameters are the same, the new GLS450 adds a 48V light mixing system. The new model has increased light mixing, lighter starting, linear power output and reduced fuel consumption.
Is it worth buying?
From the price range of 850,000 to 870,000, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS Simple Edition is worth buying. The price of the old entry-level model is less than 800 thousand, and the price of the stock car will be cheaper in a few years. The price of the new GLS450 ranges from 850,000 to 870,000, which is only about 80,000 higher than the old one. The new model can get a younger appearance and updated interior, especially the double 12-inch large horizontal screen and 48V mixed light system. Although the lighting package and parking aid package are missing, the configuration still has great advantages compared with the old one.
