A vision to behold.

An SUV such as this deserves a reveal of epic proportions. Don't miss the premiere of the new 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV, celebrating exceptional comfort, style and innovation.

Watch the Premiere

An unmistakable presence. A legacy of prestige.

The GLS has long represented the upper echelon of full-sized, luxury SUV driving — and this tradition endures in the new 2027 model that elegantly balances distinctive design, digital intelligence and raw power.

Let's first explore some of the exterior enhancements. Taking a page from the S-Class, the new Mercedes-Benz Star proudly stands upon the hood, optionally illuminated, offering an iconic touch. Complimenting this captivating visual is the new grille and illuminated chrome surround, along with headlamps and taillights that feature the signature Mercedes-Benz Star pattern to further emphasize its graceful distinction. Meanwhile, the next generation of DIGITAL LIGHT brings the new efficient, partial high-beam function, available for the first time on the GLS in the US.

Ever the benchmark of ride comfort, this new GLS is where tranquility and wellbeing reigns supreme. Its generous dimensions are a reminder that space and comfort lie within. Step inside and invite your loved ones along — there's room for up to seven with three power-adjustable rows of seats. Second row passengers can enjoy the MBUX High-End Rear Entertainment system to watch films, stream music or join a video conference via the two 11.6-inch HD displays and integrated HD cameras.

And when it comes to power, the GLS 450 and GLS 580 bring even greater agility to the road. The intensely responsive six-cylinder and V8 powertrains, respectively, increases torque to bring an outstanding delivery of power. Yet, in the GLS, comfort is never sacrificed as exemplary insulation smooths engine, road and wind noise to a whisper.

Look for the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV in dealerships later this year.
