2017 Mercedes-AMG GLS

The only new piece of information that we got our hands on since the online debut of the renamed and updated replacement to the outgoing Mercedes GL-Class on Tuesday, is the launch range for the European market together with pre-tax prices for Germany.

Across the pond, Benz’s extra-large seven-seater SUV will become available for order in November with first deliveries to commence in March of 2016, in a four model lineup.

The entry-level GLS 350d 4MATIC is the only diesel-powered offering in the range sporting a 255hp (258PS) and 620Nm 3.0-liter V6 oil burner, with pre-tax prices (applies for all prices mentioned in this article) in Germany starting from €62,850.

Next up is the GLS 400 4MATIC with a 329hp (333PS) and 480Nm 3.0-liter V6 turbo petrol priced from €64,425, followed by the GLS 500 4MATIC featuring a 449hp (455PS) and 700Nm 4.7L V8 turbo petrol that starts from €81,600. All regular GLS cars get a nine-speed automatic as standard.



If you’re in need of some serious grunt under the hood, the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC packs an improved 577hp (585hp) and 760Nm 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 paired to a 7-speed automatic, but it will cost you at €113,500.
