They call it the S-Class of SUVs, and for 2027, the Mercedes-Benz GLS earns that title all over again.
A significant design and technology update brings a more commanding presence, enhanced digital experiences, and even greater refinement to Mercedes-Benz's flagship SUV. While the formula remains familiar—three rows of luxury, exceptional comfort, and effortless capability—the latest GLS pushes each of those qualities further than before.
The exterior receives a refreshed appearance highlighted by a larger grille, updated front-end styling, and the return of the iconic standing Mercedes-Benz star on the hood. Long associated with the brand's flagship vehicles, the illuminated emblem reinforces the GLS's position at the top of the Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup. The result is a vehicle that looks every bit as prestigious as the luxury experience it delivers.
Inside, the GLS adopts Mercedes-Benz's latest digital architecture through MB.OS, bringing enhanced personalization, connectivity, navigation, and intelligent voice-control functionality. The cabin remains one of the most spacious and comfortable interiors in the luxury SUV segment, offering three rows of seating and a level of craftsmanship that reflects the vehicle's flagship status. Advanced technology is integrated thoughtfully throughout the cabin, ensuring convenience without compromising the sense of luxury.
Comfort remains central to the GLS experience. Mercedes-Benz continues to refine the suspension, ride quality, and passenger environment to deliver the smooth and composed driving characteristics buyers expect from a flagship vehicle. Whether navigating city streets, carrying a full family on vacation, or covering long highway distances, the GLS is engineered to make every journey feel effortless.
The GLS also continues to distinguish itself through versatility. Genuine three-row seating, generous cargo space, and advanced driver-assistance technologies make it equally capable as a luxury family vehicle, executive transport, or long-distance touring machine. Few SUVs manage to balance comfort, practicality, and prestige as effectively as the GLS.
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLS demonstrates why it remains one of the most respected luxury SUVs in the world. Spacious, sophisticated, and unmistakably Mercedes-Benz, it continues to set the benchmark for full-size luxury SUV ownership. Starting at: $95,000 (expected).
