About this generation

Second generation full-size luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLS (X167), featuring a longer wheelbase, opulent Maybach edition, and electrified mild-hybrid V6 and V8 engines.

The second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class (chassis code X167) premiered at the 2019 New York International Auto Show built on the Modular High Architecture (MHA). Its wheelbase expanded by 60 mm to 3,135 mm, maximizing legroom across all three rows. This generation also introduced the ultra-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, featuring a two-row layout with executive reclining rear seats, ambient fragrance, and custom champagne flutes.

Powertrains utilize 48-volt EQ Boost mild-hybrid technology across 3.0-liter inline-six gasoline/diesel units (GLS 450, GLS 400 d/450 d) and 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8s (GLS 580, Maybach GLS 600, AMG GLS 63 S producing 612 hp). All models feature 9G-TRONIC automatics, fully variable 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and AIRMATIC or optional E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension. A mid-cycle update arrived in 2023 with revised front grille slats and updated tail lights.
