Meet the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS 550 — the kind of SUV that politely asks if you’d like to be chauffeured, then insists you take the scenic route. Under the hood is a 4.7L Twin-Turbo V8 that delivers a healthy 449 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, routed through Mercedes’ smooth 9-speed automatic to 4MATIC all-wheel drive. If you like your highway merges with authority and your mountain roads with composure, this GLS is fluent in both.

Exterior: Lunar Blue Metallic — a deep, tasteful blue that looks sharp in sunlight and mysteriously sophisticated in parking garages. Interior: Black leather with grey stitching — luxurious, understated, and forgiving of the occasional coffee catastrophe. This SUV comfortably seats seven with a power-folding third row so you can haul people, luggage, or the inevitable impulse buy.

Factory-equipped features (yes, straight from the Mercedes parts list — no imagination required):
- Powertrain and chassis: 4.7L twin-turbo V8, 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission, 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and AIRMATIC air suspension with adaptive damping for that “I’m floating but also in control” sensation.
- Comfort and seating: Nappa leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with memory and lumbar support, heated front seats, three-row seating with power-folding third row for easy reconfiguration.
- Climate and convenience: THERMOTRONIC multi-zone climate control (everyone gets to be comfy), panoramic sunroof, keyless start/KEYLESS-GO, power liftgate, and plenty of storage cubbies for life’s tiny treasures.
- Infotainment and connectivity: COMAND® infotainment system with navigation, central controller, Bluetooth hands-free, USB ports, steering-wheel audio and phone controls — so you can outsmart traffic and look cool doing it.
- Safety and driver aids: Adaptive cruise control (DISTRONIC), Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, PRE-SAFE®, Attention Assist and full suite of airbags — basically the car watches out for you, and occasionally nags you in a helpful way.
- Parking and visibility: Rearview camera and parking sensors to keep those curb scratches in the “weirdly specific regret” category rather than “expensive problem.”

Fuel economy: 14 MPG city / 19 MPG highway — not a fuel sipper, but then again you didn’t buy this for frugality; you bought it for presence, performance, and the ability to tow something impressive when the mood strikes.

Condition and history: This GLS is in excellent overall condition and comes with a clean CARFAX report — no drama, no surprises, just a very capable luxury SUV ready for new adventures (and terrible dad jokes in the driver’s seat).

If you want a commanding V8 luxury SUV that pampers passengers, handles like a grown-up, and looks like it knows where it’s going, this Lunar Blue GLS 550 might be the soulmate your driveway didn’t know it needed.
