The Mercedes Benz V Class has been reintroduced to India with several improvements that make it a better luxury vehicle than the previous version. For one, Mercedes has now brought in the extra-long wheelbase version of the MPV. At 3.4 metres, it now has the longest wheelbase of any Mercedes in India. This gives it immense cabin space and, as before, you get a flexible seating layout. Only this time the second row gets more luxurious lounge-style seats, with power adjustment, heating, ventilation and massage functions. It also gets air suspension for better ride comfort. Moreover, uses more powerful engines than before - the 331hp V300 mild-hybrid petrol and 337hp V300d diesel. Considering you have a 2022 GLS, buying the facelifted Mercedes-Benz GLS version will not feel significantly different. It amounts mainly to design changes and a few feature updates. In many scenarios, the GLS is the superior vehicle to the V Class as it uses 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engines rather than 4 cylinders. It also has features that include a panoramic sunroof and rear entertainment screens. Also, offers greater ability to traverse rough roads, with AWD, better ground clearance, and larger wheels and tyres. Plus, there is arguably the greater road presence that an SUV offers. So if you like your existing GLS and don't mind using a slightly updated version of the same, it is the better choice.
