Mercedes-Benz welcomes a luxurious and commanding new addition to its stellar line-up this week with the highly anticipated arrival of the new GLS.

Like the GL before it, the new GLS is setting standards in the world of SUV as it confirms its position as the “S-Class among SUVs”.

The Mercedes-Benz philosophy is always the ‘The Best or Nothing’, and the new GLS, is the absolute embodiment of ‘the Best’. With pure luxury, power and effortless superiority, this is the vehicle for those who seek perfection in everything they do.

Like the GL before it, the new GLS is setting standards in the world of SUV as it confirms its position as the “S-Class among SUVs”. Being the full-fledged seven-seater in the Mercedes-Benz SUV range, the GLS boasts ample spaciousness and combines luxury with impressive levels of comfort, agile dynamics and also best-in-class safety. Whether put to everyday use or venturing off the beaten track – the GLS meets all requirements effortlessly and comfortably. More power, more dynamism and more equipment are also offered by the new Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC. With a peak output of 430 kW (585 hp), discrete suspension and the revised AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission, it is the fastest seven seater in the world.

Effortless superiority, confidence and elegance are just some of the characteristics of the new GLS. Compared with its predecessor, the new GLS demonstrates more dominance and character. It has been thoroughly updated and features a host of further advanced detail solutions. The result is a premium full-sized luxury SUV with seven seats, generous space and a great ride quality under all conditions both on and off the road. The GLS is the car for those who strive for perfection in everything they do. It is the car for the modern family as well as for drivers who demand space, comfort and power.

A new, dynamic exterior and revised, luxurious interior clearly underscore the impressive character of the GLS. On the exterior, the focus has been placed on a redesign of the front end, while the rear has been modernised primarily in the area of the bumper and taillights. Eye-catching highlights in the interior include the newly designed instrument panel with semi-integrated Media Display, the new 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel, the modified centre console with touchpad and also the new appointment colours and trim elements.

New exterior design and equipment lines

The new GLS reflects harmony and modern luxury to impressive effect. Chrome-look details such as the roof rails, underguard, shoulderline trim strips, luggage compartment handle and side skirt trim create attractive highlights.

Those after a sporty look can select the AMG Line exterior, comprising specific front and rear aprons, side running boards, side flaps painted in the vehicle colour and 53.3 cm (up-to 22-inch) AMG light-alloy wheels. Even more exclusivity is created with the Night package, which is available in conjunction with this design and equipment line.

Luxury liner with outstanding inner values

Accompanying the high exterior design quality is the revised interior, which underscores the first-class standards of the GLS. Like its predecessor, the new GLS boasts ample elbow and headroom in all three-seat rows.

Individual highlights can be created in the GLS interior with the help of, for example, the wood/leather multifunction steering wheel, the ambient lighting featuring three colour shades or the wide range of generously proportioned trim elements on the instrument panel and door panels with coordinated retractable cup holder covers.

Exclusive interior lines meet the most discerning of standards

In addition to ambient lighting as well as trim elements in black piano lacquer or a variety of wood trim, the optional exclusive design and equipment line also provides five attractive interior colour concepts, exclusively in genuine leather: black, ginger beige / espresso brown, saddle brown / black, crystal grey / black or ginger beige / black.

In the case of the designo Exclusive package, the overall impression of refinement is further heightened by heated comfort seats in the front with upholstery in designo nappa leather as well as characteristic diamond quilting. A distinctively sporty note comes courtesy of the AMG Line interior. It comprises, for the first time for the GLS, sports seats in nappa leather, a 3‑spoke multifunction sports steering wheel in a black nappa leather finish, graduated instrument dials in a chequered flag look and brushed stainless steel sports pedals with rubber studs.
