GLS SUV
The GLS embodies the perfect blend of power, dynamism, elegance, and presence. Its generous proportions radiate confidence, safety, and effortless superiority. As one of the most striking representatives of Mercedes-Benz’s “Sensual Purity” design language, the GLS commands attention on every road. A wide selection of paint finishes and light-alloy wheels – from 20 inches upwards – completes its modern, commanding SUV appearance.
Front-End Presence
The GLS’s front apron is an unmistakable statement. The prominent radiator shell with its iconic 4-louvre design draws inspiration from a true legend: the G-Class. Paired with the underguard, it forms the GLS’s distinctive “face,” leaving a lasting impression with its imposing size and confident stance.
AMG Line – Sporty and Exclusive
For customers seeking a more athletic and assertive look, the AMG Line enhances the GLS with:
- AMG-specific front and rear aprons
- AMG side skirts in vehicle colour
- AMG air outlets and wing extensions
- Larger brake discs at the front axle
- AMG light-alloy wheels from 21 to 23 inches
The result is a sportier, more dynamic appearance without compromising elegance or presence.
Night Package – Statement of Style
Building on the AMG Line, the Night package adds expressive black highlights:
- Radiator louvres in glossy dark chrome
- AMG front and rear apron trim strip in high-gloss black
- Outside mirror housings painted in black
This package emphasizes the GLS’s athletic elegance with a modern, exclusive touch.
Interior – Luxurious, Modern, and Driver-Focused
Inside, the GLS combines premium design with innovative technology. High-quality materials and carefully crafted details create a luxurious, inviting atmosphere.
- Angular air vents with chrome louvres, inspired by the Mercedes-Maybach GLS
- MANUFAKTUR high-gloss black flowing lines piano lacquer trim, available in bi-colour options Catalan Beige/Black and Bahia Brown/Black

Steering Wheel and Controls
The GLS offers three steering wheel options:

All steering wheels feature touch-sensitive capacitive buttons for intuitive operation via swiping and tapping. Capacitive technology ensures the driver’s hands remain on the wheel while engaging advanced driver assistance systems, eliminating the need for steering movements.
