2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class

The Mercedez-Benz GLS-Class is the new name for the GL-Class. In 2016, it received a facelift, along with mechanical updates. The GLS uses 4MATIC, the permanent Mercedes-Benz four-wheel drive system, with special off-road features such as Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR), hill-start assist and off-road ABS assist. The package includes a two-speed transfer case with a low range ratio and 100 percent differential locks for the transfer case and the rear axle. The GLS 500 comes with a 4.7-litre turbocharged V8 engine, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with the third-row individual seats, the GLS-Class is a full-size seven-seater. Either one or both seats can be electrically folded to create a continuously level load floor. All the usual Mercedes-Benz safety and luxury power features are included in this one too. The AMG body-kit is offered on the GLS 500 as an exterior package.
