What's New for 2024?

Mercedes-Benz gives its GLS SUV line-up a refresh inside and out for 2024. The updated grille design is a welcome departure from the previous model year, as are the new LED taillights and redesigned front bumper. Inside, owners are greeted with a newly designed steering wheel and refreshed interior colors. The SUV's six-cylinder GLS 450 model gets a boost to 375 hp, while the GLS 580 comes off the line with 510 hp. Mercedes-Benz offers a revamped Off-Road Engineering package, including underbody protection and a refreshed air suspension, lifting the SUV another 1.2 inches for improved ground clearance.

Real World Performance

The 2024 GLS SUV line-up is the pinnacle of the SUVs offered by Mercedes-Benz. The GLS SUV is a formidable competitor within the large, luxury SUV class and this year's 3.0-liter inline-6 turbo delivers smooth but impressive performance. The GLS 450 and 580 both get a boost in horsepower. With an overall length of 205 to 206.4 inches, the 2024 GLS SUV looks like a force, yet handles easily on twists and turns. The top-of-the-line AMG GLS 63 goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds, while even the GLS 450 can do 0 to 60 mph in a not-too-shabby 5.8 seconds.

Regardless of the model, all 2024 GLS SUVs have standard air suspension. But Mercedes-Benz sweetens the pot with its optional E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL. This system uses a forward-facing camera that scans the road ahead to lean into curves, smooth out imperfections, and help you get out of sticky situations.
