Its sleek contours and flowing lines serve a primary purpose beyond offering an athletic stance and aesthetically pleasing appearance. It also lends an aerodynamic aspect to your driving experience—while also turning a few heads along the way.

The latest model year brings updated chrome touches, including a distinctive new grille and front apron that add to its striking demeanor. Meanwhile 21-inch triple 5-spoke wheels and LED taillights ensure that your Mercedes-Benz is equally impressive whether coming or going. You can customize your 2024 GLS to match your style; choose from a palette of 10 exterior paints, including these exclusive shades:

• MANUFAKTUR Alpine Grey
• MANUFAKTUR Cardinal Red
• MANUFAKTUR Moonlight White

Step inside the cabin of the 2024 GLS, and you’ll discover a mobile haven that will have you taking the “scenic route” every time you get behind its hand-stitched Nappa leather steering wheel. Additional standard luxe features prove that this model is most definitely a Mercedes-Benz:

• Heated and ventilated front seats
• 4-zone automatic climate control
• 64-color LED ambient lighting
• Illuminated door sills
• Panorama roof

It provides comfortable seating for up to seven—six with the optional second-row captain’s chairs—including riders in the adult-sized third row, who’ll enjoy their own climate controls, cupholders, and charging ports. Optional Multicontour front seats with eight massage programs will soothe you after a long day, while the available Executive Rear Seat Plus package will keep back-row passengers entertained. In the 2024 GLS, every seat is a seat in first class.

Depending on which of its three trims you choose, you’ll enjoy horsepower (HP) ranging from 375 to 603 HP and up to an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 city/24 highway MPG. * Clearly, strength and efficiency need not be mutually exclusive.

Model	Engine	Horsepower	Torque	EPA-Estimated MPG
2024 GLS 450	3L inline-6 turbo with mild hybrid drive	375 HP	369 lb-ft	19 city/24 hwy*
2024 GLS 580	4L V8 biturbo with mild hybrid drive	510 HP	538 lb-ft	14 city/20 hwy*
2024 AMG® GLS 63	AMG® 4L V8 biturbo with hybrid assist	603 HP	627 lb-ft	14 city/18 hwy*

Each engine mates with a 9-speed automatic transmission that delivers quick, smooth gear shifts—or use the shift paddles to take control into your own hands.

Underpinning these mighty powertrains are several attributes that support your driving experience in the 2024 GLS. They include:

• DYNAMIC SELECT - Four preset modes (ECO, Comfort, Sport, Off-Road) plus a customizable Individual mode adjust throttle response, shift points, and more.
• AIRMATIC® suspension – Helps balance handling with rider comfort and raise the vehicle’s height for more ground clearance or lower it for easier loading.
• Downhill Speed Regulation – Automatically adjusts speed when descending a steep incline.

And, as is customary with Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this is just the beginning.

The driver-centric cockpit features dual 12.3-inch screens and the advanced Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) as its epicenter. With the 2024 GLS, the future is now, thanks to in-vehicle AI and natural voice recognition. To activate it, simply say “Hey, Mercedes” before making your request for directions, climate adjustment, or anything else you may require while on the road.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ enable you to connect without a cord. Meanwhile, the user-friendly Touchpad controller of the MBUX acts like your smartphone, allowing you to swipe, pinch-to-zoom, and even use your own handwriting to communicate. Enjoy a studio-like listening experience with the standard 13-speaker Burmester Surround Sound System. ** As if that baker’s dozen weren’t enough, an available system doubles the number of speakers to 29!

Mercedes-Benz continues to innovate through its PRE-SAFE® and PRE-SAFE® PLUS systems that, upon detecting an imminent collision, take proactive, protective measures. Additional advanced driver-assistance technologies help you avoid or mitigate potential collisions, including:

• Active Blind Spot Assist
• Active Lane Keeping Assist
• Active Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Function
• Active Emergency Stop Assist
• Active Speed Limit Assist

Meanwhile, the progressive ATTENTION ASSIST® feature keeps watch for up to 70 driving behaviors, alerting you when it detects any signs of drowsy or distracted driving.
