I was at a car show yesterday and got to examine the 2020 GLS 450 up close. It's a very nice update and has a lot to offer but falls short in few areas. The first and most annoying was the headroom accessing the drivers seat. I put the drivers seat all the way back and all the way down and still my head brushed the top of the door opening. There was a 2020 GLE sitting beside it and I had more headroom getting into it. The second area of concern was the quality of the leather seat covers. They didn't look like MB quality seats. They felt good to sit on just appeared to be lower quality than expected. Lastly, using the new MBUX touchpad is not user-friendly and the large twin tablet looks like MB should have put more thought into finishing the dash with some leather over hangs similar to the S Class. I say this as a previous owner of three GL/GLS's. After viewing every similar SUV on the market I was happy to return to my X7 which has the most comfortable seats I sat in that day.
