Despite being Mercedes-Benz’s largest SUV, not even the GLS-Class’ enormous size could hinder its agile chassis and the engaging driving experience it offers.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLS boasts three spacious rows of seats, a tech-laden interior, and a myriad of top-notch luxury amenities. There are two powerful engine options and an unending list of the luxury automaker’s comfort and safety tech features.
The GLS is essentially unchanged for 2023, and shoppers who desire this full-size luxury SUV can always explore our mouthwatering 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLS-CLASS lease deals.
Engine And Performance
The non-AMG 2023 GLS SUV is available in two flavors, the 450 and the 580. The GLS 450 uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6-cylinder that puts out 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The GLS 580 is motivated by a gutsier 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that generates 483 hp & 516 lb-ft of torque. According to Mercedes-Benz, the GLS 450 has a 0-60mph time of 5.9 seconds, while the V8-powered GLS 580 is faster at 5.2 seconds. Both engines feature a nine-speed automatic transmission, 4Matic all-wheel drive, and a 48-volt mild hybrid drive that augments fuel economy. Despite its bulk, the GLS is respectably agile, and its adjustable suspension does a superb job of ensuring premium comfort.
Fuel Economy
Fuel efficiency and big bulky SUVs don’t go hand-in-hand, so we don’t expect exceptional EPA ratings for the GLS. The GLS450 achieves 18 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. The GLS580 isn’t any better, with 16 mpg and 21 mpg, respectively.
Interior
Mercedes-Benz lease deals are known for luxurious interiors, so it’s no surprise that the GLS’s interior is a work of art. Similar to what you’d find in the GLE, the GLS’s interior is adorned with multicolor ambient lights, and two enormous 12.3-inch digital displays that span the more significant part of the SUV’s dashboard. Some standard features include full-grain leather upholstery, five-zone automatic climate control, and heated & ventilated front seats. A 13-speaker Burmester Surround Sound system is also standard, but you can opt for an advanced system with up to 26 speakers. Other optional features include heated second- and third-row seats, panorama roof, black exclusive Nappa leather seats with massage function, etc.
Safety & Driver Assistance
As you’d expect in a large German luxury SUV, numerous futuristic driver assistance technology is either standard or available as optional features on the GLS. They include;
- Blind spot assist with exit warning assist
- Parktronic with active parking assist
- Surround view system
- Pre-safe
- Adaptive braking technology
- Active blind spot assist
- Active lane keeping assist
- Active brake assist with cross-traffic function
- Active lane change assist, etc.
