The Mercedes GLS has an impressively punchy and smooth diesel engine, and its smart interior will comfortably accommodate seven occupants, but the build quality and ride comfort disappoint for a luxury SUV of this price. The 450d makes the most sense in AMG Line Premium Plus trim.

This mid-level trim adds even more luxury, especially for those who prefer to be driven. This includes ventilated and massaging middle row seats, heated third-row seats, sunblinds for the rear door windows, a pair of screens mounted on the back of the front seats and a rear tablet to control all the functions. You also get 23 in wheels and a heated steering wheel.

This is the entry-level petrol engine, with a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder motor producing 375bhp and 369lb ft of torque. It takes 6.1sec to accelerate from 0-62mph, before heading up to a top speed of 155mph. A nine-speed automatic gearbox comes as standard.
