In terms of design, the new GLS will feature minor cosmetic upgrades over the outgoing model. The SUV will get a re-designed bumper and a new grille featuring four horizontal louvres with a Silver Shadow finish. The SUV also features air inlet grilles and high-gloss black surrounds. On the sides, the overall silhouette will remain the same but it’s expected to get a newly designed alloy wheel design. At the rear, it gets a re-designed bumper with a skid plate and new LED tail lamps with three horizontal block patterns with a new motif.
The overall dashboard layout will remain the same inside except for a few changes. The SUV gets glossy brown lime wood trim with new upholstery options, including Catalana Beige and Bahia Brown leather. The SUV will also feature an updated MBUX infotainment system with a permanent low-speed 360-degree camera.
Talking about the powertrain and gearbox, the new GLS is expected to come with two engine options – a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbo petrol engine christened as GLS 450 and a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbo diesel christened GLS 400d. Both engines will come paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox with a 4-Matic AWD system as standard.
