Mercedes-Benz SUVs with Third-Row Seating: Which Models Offer the Best Space?

Owning a luxury Mercedes-Benz SUV offers the best of both worlds. You get the spaciousness and utility of a truck with the style, innovation, and advanced technology of a Mercedes luxury sedan. Mercedes-Benz has options for 3-row luxury SUVs, and the best place for New Jersey shoppers to find them is at Ray Catena Mercedes-Benz of Edison.

Which Mercedes-Benz SUVs Offer Third-Row Seating?

There are currently two Mercedes-Benz models that offer third-row seating, with these being:

• Mercedes-Benz GLS: The GLS comes with a standard third row, offering seating for up to seven passengers.
• Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: The EQS SUV offers an optional third row. This means you can expand seating if necessary, while also enjoying the benefits of an electric vehicle.

How Spacious Are the Third Rows in Mercedes-Benz SUVs?

As for interior dimensions, and generous legroom and headroom, the GLS takes the lead. The standard third row is designed more for comfort, allowing spacious seating for teens and adults. The rear seats also feature child-seat compatibility, making it an excellent option for families with young children.

The EQS SUV’s third row offers practicality when necessary for occasional use, and provides excellent cargo space when folding the third-row seats down.

What Are the Best Features for Families in Mercedes-Benz 3-Row SUVs?

• Interior Flexibility: In the GLS, the second-row seats can slide forward to allow for easy access to the third row. Split folding seats make it easy to configure more cargo space.
• Technology and Comfort: Mercedes 3-row SUVs feature the latest MBUX infotainment system and rear-seat USB ports to keep everyone happy and connected on long trips. And multi-zone climate control ensures everyone is comfortable for the ride.
• Safety: Mercedes-Benz offers robust safety features to help protect drivers and their families, including collision prevention, active brake assist, blind spot monitoring, and child safety locks.

How Do the Mercedes-Benz GLS and EQS SUV Compare?

Let’s take a look at a quick comparison of each SUV, so you can consider the right option for you and your family.

• GLS: The GLS is gas-powered, which can make for more kick in the performance. It also comes with a more spacious third row, which can make it more appealing for large families.
• EQS SUV: All-electric SUV with a focus on range and efficiency, and comes with advanced tech features, such as the large hyperscreen display spanning the dashboard.

The GLS Maybach trim offers a V8 biturbo engine that delivers a kick of 550 horsepower, as well as premium interior materials to make for a high-end drive. On the other hand, the EQS SUV offers the higher end of electric luxury with aerodynamic design and high-end tech features. The GLS is likely better for families, while the EQS is great for tech-savvy fans.
