2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs Cadillac Escalade

Performance of the 2022 GLS vs Escalade

Let’s first open the hoods of these cars and look at what they have going on. Power-wise, they both have robust engines that have the strength to get you smoothly and swiftly up to cruising speed even with a car full of passengers and cargo.

Along with a great deal of power, the 2022 GLS does everything it can to limit the amount of fuel needed as you travel. With its mild hybrid system, it is able to get an EPA-estimated 18 city and 24 highway MPG.¹

Without any sort of hybrid technology, the Escalade can’t match that level of efficiency when driving locally around town or on the highway. With this Cadillac SUV, you’ll get only an EPA-estimated 14 city and 19 highway MPG.

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs Cadillac Escalade: Safety

Lastly, let’s see how these SUVs help keep you safe along your journey. With both, you’ll have technology systems that provide more confidence. That is because both can automatically apply the brakes to potentially prevent frontal collisions. They each also have systems that keep you within the lines of your lane.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS, though, comes with more standard driver-assistive systems, which are either only optional in specific trim levels of the Escalade or not offered at all. These include:

• ATTENTION ASSIST®
• PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist
• Crosswind Assist
• Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist

PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist is a system that can help you easily get in and out of parking spaces. With it, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS can control the steering, shifting, and brakes for safe and simple parking.
