I've always been a big fan of Mercedes-Benz SUVs, and there's quite a difference between the GLS and the GL. The GL is the older model, while the GLS is the current mainstream. In terms of design, the GLS has a more stylish and streamlined appearance, featuring LED headlights and a sporty body kit, whereas the GL is more boxy and traditional. Inside, the GLS boasts a large touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, supporting smartphone connectivity with an advanced entertainment system. The GL has a smaller screen, more buttons, and a less smooth operation compared to the GLS. Technological upgrades are a key highlight—the GLS includes advanced driver-assistance features like adaptive cruise control and pedestrian detection, which the GL lacks, making its safety performance weaker. Space-wise, they’re similar, but the GLS offers more comfortable third-row seating and a more practical trunk. The driving experience differs too: the GLS has a newer engine, quieter and more fuel-efficient at startup, while the GL’s engine is noisier, and its suspension is stiffer. Overall, the new GLS better meets modern demands and offers higher value for money.

Where is the air filter of the Qashqai located?

Additional information: Function of the air filter: The air filter serves a filtration purpose, cleaning the air entering the cabin from outside, thereby improving air purity. The typical filtration targets include impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust.

Cleaning tips: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side. Hold the air gun about 5 cm away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa for approximately 2 minutes.
