Mercedes-Benz GLS Performance
You'll love the extra burst of power you'll get when merging onto the highway with the new Mercedes-Benz GLS. Its base six-cylinder engine gained 13 horsepower from last year's version, so it now makes 375 horsepower.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLS glides gently over broken pavement thanks to its standard adaptive air suspension. Dynamic Select® lets you fine-tune the GLS's ride with selectable Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and ECO driving modes. You won't have trouble getting traction on snow-covered roads with the GLS because it comes standard with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. An available Off-Road package adds additional driving modes and higher ground clearance that help it conquer challenging terrain.
Mercedes-Benz GLS Style and Design
The new Mercedes-Benz GLS has a softly contoured two-box body with balanced, clean lines. Base models now have bigger front-end air intakes with gloss-black frames and refreshed four-slat grilles. AMG editions gain red brake calipers and additional badging. All GLS trims have distinguished chrome detailing, large tri-star logos, sculpted LED headlights, and stylish alloy wheels that make them stand out from other SUVs.
Climb inside the new Mercedes-Benz GLS and you'll be enchanted with its sleek dash and refined fit and finish. Lower trims have wood inlays, MB-Tex upholstery, and retro-futuristic climate control vents, while higher trims have aluminum or carbon-fiber accents and Nappa leather seats. Drivers will appreciate the GLS's standard panoramic sunroof, which brightens the interior and lets fresh air in.

A standard 13-speaker Burmester audio system fills the GLS with concert-like sound.
