New for the 2017 model year, the Mercedes-Benz GLS is taking the place of the popular GL SUV, offering an all-new exterior style and improved specs and features. With its impressive performance and extremely upscale interior, the GLS stands to be one of the best, most luxurious SUVs on the market today.
The differences between the GLS and the GL start with its exterior styling. The GLS comes with an all-new front grille and a sporty exterior shape. Changes are also apparent inside the model’s cabin which features an all-new design. The center console has been completely redesigned as has the instrument cluster. The interior was redesigned to offer a more driver-oriented, user-friendly driving experience.
There’s a long list of new additions to the model’s already impressive features. Some of the most highly-anticipated features include the model’s new extended DYNAMIC SELECT transmission models, which offer the driver enhanced control over the GLS that they didn’t have with the GL-Class.
Powertrain Options
For the 2017 GLS, there are four different engine options. With each new engine, drivers have access to more power behind the wheel. The base engine offers an already impressive 255 horsepower, but with each engine this amount jumps to 362, 449 and finally a massive 577 for its AMG® GLS 63 model.
Other Highlights
In addition to its powerful drive and excellent performance and handling the GLS also comes with other great features and specs drivers will be happy to have. This includes advanced safety features like ATTENTION ASSIST®, PRESAFE® Braking and BRAKE ASSIST BAS.
