In 2024, Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts and automotive aficionados can rejoice as the latest iteration of the GLS-Class lineup arrives on the scene, boasting a fresh and invigorating new look. This revamped range will include both the luxurious Maybach variant and the high-performance AMG variant, offering consumers a truly diverse selection of options to choose from. And, to the delight of those residing in the United States, these new models are slated to hit the market later this year.
Not only will the GLS-Class receive a stylistic overhaul, but the regular variant will also receive a subtle yet striking facelift. The four louvers gracing the grille will feature an elegant Silver Shadow finish, while the bumper will showcase air inlet grilles encircled by a bold high-gloss black surround. And let’s not forget about the striking taillights, sporting a distinguished signet motif that emanates from three horizontal blocks.
And the upgrades don’t stop there. With the addition of two new paint choices, including the ethereal Twilight Blue Metallic and the alluring Manufaktur Alpine Grey Non-Metallic, this GLS-Class range is sure to captivate the senses and offer a unique driving experience unlike any other.
The MBUX infotainment system, nestled deep within the technological heart of the vehicle, has been endowed with a range of novel and intriguing display choices that will surely tantalize the discerning driver. With three graphic styles to choose from, including the Classic, Sporty, and Discreet modes, the driver can indulge in a varied and dynamic visual experience that will stimulate the senses and delight the mind. Further enhancing the sensory overload, the system also features three tantalizing modes: Navigation, Assistance, and Service, each imbuing the driving experience with a unique and beguiling quality. And if that weren’t enough to entice even the most jaded of motorists, the system also boasts a veritable cornucopia of seven distinctive color schemes that will surely satisfy the most demanding of aesthetes.
For those drivers who demand even more from their driving experience, Mercedes has unveiled a panoply of sumptuous and exotic upholstery options that will leave even the most discerning connoisseur of comfort breathless with anticipation. Among the opulent choices on offer are the Catalana Beige and Bahia Brown leather upholstery options, each imbuing the cabin with a rich and inviting aura of opulence and luxury. And if that weren’t enough, the GLS now offers a choice of trim options that include the High-Gloss Brown Linden Wood and Manufaktur Piano Lacquer Flowing Lines, each adding a further layer of complexity and sophistication to the driving experience.
The GLS580 4MATIC boasts an optional Off-Road Engineering Package, which enhances its already impressive capabilities. By adding a robust front skid plate and granting a notable 1.2 inches of additional ground clearance, this package imbues the GLS580 4MATIC with heightened off-road prowess and a commanding presence.

As for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600, it has received a series of small yet meaningful upgrades that only add to its already opulent features. Now standard with ambient lighting that includes an animated projection of the brand logo, this vehicle exudes sophistication and elegance at every turn. Additionally, the seat upholstery has been thoughtfully adorned with exquisite perforated, diamond-quilted upholstery that exudes both luxury and comfort. And, for those who demand nothing but the best, a new option of 23-inch forged wheels is now available, further elevating the GLS600’s already impressive stature.
The Mercedes-AMG GLS63 has been bestowed with minute modifications. Among these, it has been endowed with light projectors, which ingeniously project an AMG-specific animation on the ground. Additionally, the vehicle’s roll stabilization and air suspension systems have been given a comprehensive software update, a testament to the cutting-edge technology utilized in the car’s design.

Moving inside the lavish cabin of the GLS63, you can’t help but marvel at the opulent new Bahia Brown/Black and Macchiato Beige/Black Nappa leather upholstery options. The sporty variant now boasts a slew of premium features that come as standard, including a panoramic sunroof that allows the occupants to soak in the beauty of the outside world, heated and ventilated front seats that ensure comfort even in the most challenging of climates, and adaptive high beams that adjust themselves according to the surrounding conditions.
