Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz GLS

Pros

  • Powerful SUV
  • Muscular Stance
  • Practical

Cons

  • Overpriced
  • Expensive running cost
  • Some body roll

Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz GLS embodies a harmonious blend of power, technology, luxury, and comfort, akin to that of a high-end sedan. A preferred choice among the affluent and celebrated, its commanding road presence is unparalleled. Fueled by a robust and potent engine, the GLS ensures a distinguished driving experience, regardless of whether you're seated in the front or the back. This SUV consistently delivers beyond expectations, never falling short of providing an exceptional journey.

Pros Cons of Kia Carnival

Pros

  • Captain Seats In Limousine Variant Is A Must Buy
  • Great Ride Quality
  • Diesel-Automatic Combination Is Great

Cons

  • Poor Safety On Lower Variants
  • Low Ground Clearance
  • 9-Seater Variant Offers Little Practicality

Verdict

The Carnival comes to India as a Completely Knocked Down kit, and while it has all the makings of a benchmark MPV, its higher price tag and the fact that Kia is still a relatively new brand is making a lot of MPV buyers shy away from the product. That said, it is undoubtedly a solid product and if you are out looking for a large, premium, chauffeur-driven vehicle, that can also double up as a family car or maybe a workplace on wheels, then you must consider the Kia Carnival.
