Interior Luxury in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz vs 2023 Cadillac Escalade

Drivers interested in the Mercedes-Benz vs. Cadillac are drivers who value luxury and comfort. Fortunately, both SUVs offer plenty of refined touches that are sure to impress.

Passengers in the back deserve some luxury features, too. Drivers looking to be gracious hosts for their passengers may prefer the 2022 GLS. It offers available heated and ventilated seats in the second row and not just the front seats. That’s not all, though. With the optional Executive Rear Seat Package Plus, second-row passengers in the Mercedes-Benz can sink back and relax into multicontour seats with a massage feature, too.

The all-encompassing luxury features don’t end there for the 2022 GLS. Passengers also appreciate the available 5-zone automatic climate control system. This feature allows individuals in the vehicle to set their own preferred temperature, so if the front-row folks prefer to warm up but passengers in the second and third rows need to cool down, everyone can get everything they want. The Cadillac also offers multi-zone climate control but only in three configurable zones.

2022 GLS vs 2023 Escalade: Engine Power and Performance

The Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac both offer high-end luxury features, but when it comes to getting you from Point A to Point B, how does each SUV compare?

The Cadillac Escalade comes standard with a 6.2L V8 engine that gets an EPA-estimated 14 city and 18 highway MPG. If you prefer to sail past the gas station more often, turn to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS. It comes standard with a 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine that earns an EPA-estimated 18 city and 24 highway MPG.* Part of this increased fuel economy comes from state-of-the-art engineering that incorporates mild hybrid drive technology, which is a feature that the Cadillac does not offer.

In addition to greater standard fuel economy, the Mercedes-Benz also offers greater handling and control, as it comes standard with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive on all models, which is sure to be useful when navigating this area’s snowy winters. Meanwhile, the Escalade comes standard with rear-wheel drive.

Safety in the Mercedes-Benz vs Cadillac

One of the most important factors to consider when shopping for your next SUV is safety. Fortunately, both the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS and 2023 Cadillac Escalade deliver driver-assistive safety systems, such as:

• Available Active Emergency Stop Assist
• Standard Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist
• Available Active Lane Keeping Assist

The Mercedes-Benz eases your drive further by predicting your upcoming needs with optional Route-based Speed Adaptation. Using map navigation data, this active safety feature can autonomously adjust the vehicle’s speed based on upcoming changes in road conditions, such as bends, roundabouts, and exits. With this extra assurance, your winding drives become even more relaxing.
