Whether driving to her son’s golf tournaments across the state or a beach getaway in Florida or Alabama, Jill T. can count on her Mercedes-Benz GLS to get her there safely and in style. The spacious, 7-seat GLS comfortably holds her 15-year-old son’s golf clubs and friends in the back, while allowing a generous amount of seating room for everyone else in the car.
After previously owning a full-size SUV from another manufacturer, Jill says she’s currently driving her second GLS and plans to remain loyal to the Mercedes-Benz brand. Here’s more about the features that make the GLS the perfect choice for this family of four.
Like many moms, Jill lives in her car most days. Although her older daughter, 17, is driving now, she estimates she’s still behind the wheel three or four hours a day. That’s when she appreciates the luxuriousness of the leather seats, which are heated, ventilated and offer three options for massage.
While waiting for her kids, she takes advantage of the in-car WiFi to catch up on life – responding to emails, filling out forms from school and entering all the upcoming dates in her calendar. “I consider my Mercedes to be my rolling office,” she jokes.
And when Jill says, “Hey, Mercedes,” the digital assistant lets her operate many of the car’s features by simply speaking the commands.
Some of the safety features she appreciates include the lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. “If you’re backing up and you come too close to something, the car will stop for you,” she says. “I feel so safe in the vehicle because I know that it’s so well made. If I was ever in an accident, I feel like my most prized possessions would be safe.”
The service Jill receives from Mercedes-Benz of Baton Rouge is something she says you won’t find elsewhere. Recently, she had two flat tires after hitting a sinkhole. Within 20 minutes, a tow truck had arrived, and the dealership was already arranging a loaner vehicle.
“I did not have to stress about how I was going to continue my routine and the things that I needed to do during the day,” Jill says. “I was going to have wheels because of Mercedes.”
When her previous lease was running out, Jill’s sales consultant, Lynn Whitty, whom she considers a dear friend, helped walk her through all the options so she could make an informed decision.
“I feel like the service really is unmatched in the industry,” she says. “People may leave and try another car, but they will always come back.”
