Don’t just ride apart from the crowd, travel above it. The spacious, sumptuous, 7-seat GLS wraps thoughtful innovations in fresh style and even more refined luxury.
With a long wheelbase for generous room and a smoother ride, the restyled GLS lets you live large without the bulky driving experience. It’s chiseled and muscular, yet polished and agile, from its new grille to its LED taillamps.
Widescreen displays and more advanced and intuitive visual, voice and touch interfaces help the GLS feel quickly like second nature. Exquisite craftsmanship envelops you in timeless luxury.
With a giant sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting, ventilated front seats and a power second row, the GLS offers everyone the Star treatment. Available luxuries range from four massaging seats to 5-zone climate control.
GLS 450 wheels start at a substantial 21 inches. The AMG Line, standard on the GLS 580, adds even bolder style. And along with the black accents of the Night Package, you can supersize the wheels to 23s.

The GLS offers truly luxurious seating for seven adults, standard. A no-charge 6-seat option features power 2nd-row captain’s chairs with walk-through 3rd-row access. An Executive Seating option can make the GLS 580 rear cabin even more sumptuous.
Just say “Hey, Mercedes,” and an intelligent digital assistant lets you operate many features with everyday language. It can even learn more over time. Standard, sport and wood/leather steering wheels feature intuitive touch controls.
Front seats are heated, ventilated and available with massage. The second row offers similar luxuries. Even the armrests can be heated. Ionizer-purified air can soothe the whole cabin with a subtle infusion of fragrance.
A big 7,700-lb towing capacity is just one of the GLS’s superhuman abilities. An extensive suite of standard driver assistance systems can help ease you through traffic, change lanes with the tap of a turn signal. A new option can help you back up a trailer.
Mercedes me connect puts a world of features, including remote starting, in a handy smartphone app. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto are standard. In-car WiFi is available, too.
The GLS has many dimensions, but they all aim to outmeasure other large luxury SUVs. Rigid standards create a flexible vehicle that’s spacious yet agile. And at home on a trail, with a trailer, or coddling you in its fine tailoring.
The GLS was born to be a Mercedes-Benz SUV, not adapted from a pickup truck. Independent air suspension helps the roomy third row offer first-rate comfort. The standard power second row, available to seat two or three, also helps make 3rd-row access easy.
The Executive Rear Seating Package PLUS for the GLS 580 treats 2nd-row passengers like royalty. Ventilated and massaging seats. Headrest pillows. And a wireless tablet to control rear-cabin comfort features.
Both the 375-hp GLS 450 turbo inline-6 and the GLS 580’s 510-hp biturbo V8 offer advanced tech and abundant torque. Featuring hybrid electrification, their Integrated Starter-Generator can also add 20 hp, or allow gas-free coasting and lower emissions.
With nine speeds and fingertip shift paddles, the advanced 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission can deliver quick response as well as efficient, quiet cruising. DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes suit your driving moods and needs.
With standard multimode, height-adjusting AIRMATIC® suspension and fully variable 4MATIC® all-wheel drive, the GLS puts its best foot forward even as seasons and surfaces challenge it. Available on the GLS 580, E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL can camera-scan the road ahead, lean into curves, and even rock you out of a sand trap.
