Mercedes Benz GLS-klasse 350 D Exclusive 7 Posti — Milan

Seven seats, diesel range, and the kind of road presence that makes valet attendants straighten up — the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS 350 D Exclusive is the SUV you book when the group is larger than a sedan can handle but the standard of travel stays non-negotiable. What makes this GLS particularly well-suited to a Milan base is its versatility across terrain and occasion. A morning collection from Malpensa after a long-haul arrival seats five or six passengers with luggage in genuine comfort, the third row accommodating adults rather than just children. By afternoon the same vehicle is threading through the Porta Nuova business district for a client meeting, and by evening it's parked at a lakeside restaurant in Bellagio after an 80-kilometre drive north on the A9 and the narrow SP583 shore road — where the GLS's diesel torque and adaptive suspension prove their worth through every tunnel and switchback above Como. For families combining city days with excursions to Franciacorta or Bergamo Alta, this is the practical choice that never feels like a compromise. The cabin is hushed at autostrada speed, the boot swallows weekend bags and shopping without folding the rear bench, and the ride height gives passengers a commanding view of vineyard roads and lakeside hairpins alike. It also fits comfortably in most Milan underground garages — something that matters more than you'd think when you're navigating Area C restrictions and need a secure spot near Brera or the Duomo. One variant is available in the current fleet, from €400 per day. Delivery can be arranged to your Milan hotel, airport terminal, or a residential address — a detail worth confirming at booking, especially during high-demand periods around Salone del Mobile or fashion week when kerbside timing in the Quadrilatero becomes a logistical exercise in itself. If your plans extend beyond Lombardy — a run to the Dolomites via the A22, or south toward the Ligurian coast — discuss cross-border and long-distance terms when you reserve. The GLS's fuel economy on diesel makes multi-day itineraries more practical than a petrol equivalent, and the Exclusive trim ensures every kilometre is spent in a cabin that feels closer to a first-class lounge than a rental SUV.
