With a long wheelbase for generous room and a smoother ride, the 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.

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. Available ionizer-purified air can soothe the whole cabin with a subtle infusion of fragrance.

A big 3,500kg towing capacity is just one of the GLS's superhuman abilities. Available tech can ease you through traffic, change lanes with the tap of a turn signal, or help you back up a trailer. ^{Disclaimer[2] Disclaimer[3] Disclaimer[4]}

Mercedes me connect puts a world of remote features, from starting to locking its doors to scheduling service, in a handy smartphone app. Augmented video can overlay your next navigation instruction on a live view of the turn itself. ^{Disclaimer[5] Disclaimer[6]}

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 Premium Rear Seating Package 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 a burst of power to 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 E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL can camera-scan the road ahead, lean into curves, and even rock the GLS out of a sand trap.
