Anyone accustomed to S-class luxury but needing more space or ground clearance will feel right at home in the three-row GLS-class SUV. It offers a pair of engines-a 375-hp turbocharged inline-six in the GLS450 and a 510-hp twin-turbo V-8 in the GLS580-that provide smooth-as-silk propulsion and swift acceleration. A standard air suspension keeps it on an even keel, providing great body control and contributing to crisp handling, attributes that aren't a given for a vehicle of this size. Speaking of footprint, there's plenty of room inside the SUV's modern cabin, with seating for either six or seven and sufficient cargo space. The speed-obsessed may want to check out the 603-hp GLS63 while oligarchs in training will gravitate toward the Maybach GLS600. Competition includes the equally athletic BMW X7, as well as the ubiquitous Land Rover Range Rover and the all-American Lincoln Navigator.
What's New for 2025?
All GLS SUVs now come with a fingerprint scanner, which can be used to pull up a driver's personalized profile. There are new Manufaktur Signature styling options: four more paint colors and a trio of special nappa leather color schemes. The latter is also available as part of the Manufaktur Signature Interior package, which adds a stitched leather dash, several Manufaktur logos, headrest pillows, and deep-pile carpets.
