The new GLS: More space, more comfort, more luxury
The largest and most luxurious new SUV from Mercedes-Benz can be seen for the very first time: the Mercedes-Benz GLS is the S-Class among SUVs, and embodies the claim to excellence in the premium SUV segment. General spaciousness, especially in the second seat row, benefits from the 60 mm longer wheelbase. The three fully electrically adjustable seat rows offer all passengers a generous amount of space and outstanding seating comfort. The active E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension based on a 48 volt network is familiar from the new GLE, and ensures superior suspension comfort, agile handling and good off-road capabilities. The GLS is also equipped with the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz driving assistance systems giving cooperative support to drivers.
The GLC Coupé: Fascinating design meets high intelligence
The revised Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé is celebrating a further SUV world premiere. It impresses with its distinctive appearance, innovative driving assistance systems, a new engine line-up and the latest generation of the MBUX Mercedes-Benz User Experience multimedia system with its wide range of control options. The enhanced driving assistance systems have been expanded by adding an exit-warning function, emergency-corridor function and tail-end-of-traffic-jam function, among others. Hallmark off-road features include the dominant front end, powerful contours and standard-fit chrome details like the front and rear underride guards.
