The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV commands attention in every environment, offering an expansive selection of exterior finishes, paint colors, and wheel designs that ensure a truly personalized and striking road presence.
The GLS presents an authoritative presence from its elegant Star-centered grille to its confident stance, now available in an extended palette of colors including MANUFAKTUR exclusives such as Silicon Grey and Cote d'Azur Light Blue Metallic for a truly distinctive finish.
Elevate the 2026 GLS with the available AMG Line exterior package, introducing a more performance-oriented aesthetic with flared wheel arches, enlarged front brake discs, and Sport-styled front and rear bumpers. The GLS 450 is outfitted as standard with 21-inch alloys, the GLS 580 features AMG 22-inch wheels, and either model can be optioned with up to 23-inch AMG wheels.
For those who prefer a more commanding, blacked-out aesthetic, the Night Package delivers high-gloss black exterior elements, black wheel options, and a darkened chrome front radiator grille for a sleek, stealthy appearance.
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS sets the benchmark for practical luxury, offering leather upholstery in over 10 finishes, premium standard amenities, and flexible seating for up to seven passengers across three generously proportioned rows.
Personalize the cabin of the 2026 GLS with exclusive MANUFAKTUR leather upholstery options including Yacht Blue, Truffle Brown, and Carmine Red, creating a truly bespoke luxury experience on every journey.
Three-row seating is standard in every GLS, with a choice of middle rows; either a bench seat with room for three, or individual captain's chairs with a third-row walk-through in between. The power-folding third row provides effortless reconfiguration for passengers or cargo.
Power front seats feature memory, heating, and ventilation, with massage plus heating of the armrests and steering wheel available. The second row is upgradable with the Executive Rear Seat Package, and an optional air ionizer with subtle fragrance infusion keeps the cabin atmosphere fresh and refined.
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced technologies designed to enhance safety, comfort, and driving confidence at every turn.
The 2026 GLS makes driver and passenger safety a top priority, with an extensive array of active safety features fitted as standard, including Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Brake Assist. Standard DISTRONIC® adapts cruising speed to stop-and-go traffic, posted speed limits, and even upcoming turns in the navigation route, with Active Steering Assist included.
The 2026 GLS is engineered with the safety of all occupants in mind, making it an ideal choice for families. Dedicated rear side airbags and additional airbag coverage help protect second and third-row passengers, including young children. ISOFIX child seat anchor points are integrated into the rear seating rows for secure child seat installation, and the PRE-SAFE® system works proactively to prepare the entire cabin for an imminent collision, helping to safeguard every passenger before impact occurs.
Standard AIRMATIC® offers multimode damping, adjustable ride height, and four-wheel level control that automatically adjusts for passengers and cargo. GLS 580 buyers can further upgrade to E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL for continuously adaptive suspension that responds dynamically to road conditions in real time.
