Just bought one and absolutely love it! The interior is insane and makes you feel like you’re in a spaceship 🚀 the Escalade V uses a lot more fuel and has a little bit cheaper and more plastic interior than the GLS 63. we tested both to compare. The mild hybrid twin turbo V8 is an amazing engine 💯💪

Had one and loved it except one thing. Mercedes always has a staggard tire set up. After about 8-9k tires pretty much done. Ride becomes rough and tires (only a couple of manufacturers) are about 3k. Just a lot to spend on tires when you're driving about 15-20k per year. Other than that, it was a great vehicle with no problems. Premium gas required.

Joe, just a hunch on my part, but I wonder if the slightly smaller size of the full-size Mercedes SUV is due, in part, to the narrow European roads, apart from the autobahn. While this AMG is awesome on many levels, it still can't hold a candle to the even more awesome Escalade V. I just feel you get much more bang for the buck with the Escalade. That's my rationale and I'm stickin' to it.

I would go with the AMG GLS 63. I prefer the design over the Cadillac, as I feel the V model doesn’t do enough changes to the front of the car to separate it from a normal Escalade. Also the pops and bangs in the Escalade V may be a little overkill for a daily driver.

The AMG GLS 63 is nice enough but I would take the 2024 Cadillac Escalade V, it is the true big family hauler between the two and it is several inches longer and also taller and wider and gives both the seating room and cargo capacity for a family with luggage. The Cadillac weighs more but is larger in size with more interior room but it also can have Super Cruise for those long vacation drives with the family that AMC does not have. I also prefer the Cadillac Excalade V's 6.2L's use of a supercharger over the AMG's twin turbochargers. The two areas where the AMG GLS 63 wins in this fight is slightly better gas mileage and acceleration because its smaller and lighter in weight.
