Mercedes-Benz Nav Gl450 Update Also Featured

According to Mercedes-Benz, it is the SUV equivalent of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

It is a three-row, seven-passenger vehicle positioned above the GLE-Class (formerly Mercedes-Benz M-Class before 2016), and is the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz SUV line.

Most GLS-Class vehicles are assembled at the Mercedes plant in Alabama, except for a small number of early 2007 production vehicles which were manufactured in Germany.

The first generation model (X164) was manufactured between 2006 and 2012 and was replaced in 2012 by the new generation GL-Class (X166).

Under this scheme, SUVs use the base name GL, followed by the models placement in Mercedes-Benz hierarchy.

The G is for gelndewagen (German for off-road vehicle ) and alludes the long-running G-Class.

This is followed by the letter L that acts as a linkage with the letter S, the SUV equivalent to the S-Class.

The range of engines consist of V8 petrol engines, and turbocharged V6 and V8 diesel engines.

All models are available only in all-wheel drive (4MATIC) configuration.

Its main competitors are the Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade, and Lincoln Navigator.

The second generation model also introduced a high performance GL63 AMG variant, powered by the hand-built M157 engine.

Following a 2016 facelift it was renamed the GLS -Class, to correspond with the new Mercedes-Benz naming scheme.

A first SUV version of Mercedes-Maybach, Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC model was released in late 2019.

It will use the same architecture as the latest GLE with MBUX and dual 12.3-inch screens as well as E-Active Body Control and car-to-X communication.

The exterior has also been redesigned with sleeker headlamps and taillamps.
