To Boldly Go

The next generation of the Mercedes-Benz GLS takes you further than ever before

Mating drivers to vehicles is similar to mating pilots to aircraft and astronauts to spacecraft - you need to get it right! Mercedes-Benz has done exactly that with the 2020 GLS model. 

With a spectacularly redefined interior, increased intelligence, an electrified engine, and features that redefine luxury driving, it’s no wonder the new GLS is touted as “the SUV all other sport utility vehicles wish they could be.”

Indeed this new GLS sets a very high standard and is everything we expect from the German automaker, and more. Available as a 7-seater or a 6-seater with captain’s chairs, the cabin is incredibly comfortable, with three rows of seating that are fully adjustable, electronically, with an Easy Entry function allowing convenient access to the third row. Five-zone automatic climate control invites passengers to tailor the temperature to their own individual preferences, and E-Active Body Control creates a stable ride in any condition.

For the first time, the GLS has been equipped with the new MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, allowing drivers to control the vehicle through natural voice commands or simple hand gestures. For the convenience of passengers, a 7-inch MBUX Android tablet can be used to control functions in the rear of the vehicle. The driver, of course, can assume control at any time.

The new GLS also comes with EQ Boost and a 48-volt electrical system that provides 21 electric horsepower to counteract turbo lag and allows gasoline-free coasting and lower overall emissions. 

“The biggest change is the all new look and all new drive,” says Ted Reidy, General Manager at Mercedes-Benz of Centerville, “The 2020 model still maintains the GLS experience, but better.”
