    When luxury isn't good enough, you need to dip into the Maybach brand for elite #german regality.
    Hot on the heels of the new GLE and GLE Coupe, the 2024 Mercedes‑Benz GLS, Mercedes‑Maybach GLS 600 and Mercedes‑AMG GLS 63 introduces a host of new updates. A number of design, technology and equipment changes take the comfort, connectivity and performance of the full-size SUV model series to new heights.
    With generous interior dimensions, the SUV models offer interior space for up to seven occupants. The new 2024 GLS model range will arrive in U.S. dealerships later in 2023.
    Mercedes-Benz GLS: visual enhancement and functional off-road features
    The new Mercedes‑Benz GLS models can be recognized by the even more striking radiator grille. The four louvers feature a Silver Shadow finish. The front bumper is also visually more prominent with integrated air inlet grilles, combined with a surround in high-gloss black, and a redesigned front underride guard. At the rear, the GLS impresses with new LED taillights showcasing a light signet formed by three horizontal blocks.
    The interior of the Mercedes‑Benz GLS features seating configurations for six or seven occupants. With Catalana Beige and Bahia Brown, customers can choose from two new leather upholstery options. The range of interior trim finishes has also been revised with new High-Gloss Brown Linden Wood. MANUFAKTUR Piano Lacquer Flowing Lines, previously reserved for the Mercedes‑Maybach GLS 600, is now also available for the GLS family from Mercedes‑Benz. Another new detail familiar from the Mercedes‑Maybach GLS is the Silver Shadow finish of the center and side climate control vents.
    The latest generation MBUX infotainment system brings with it a new look for the displays. The central display can be operated directly and conveniently as a touchscreen. The driver display can be individualized with three different display styles (Classic, Sporty, Discreet) and three modes (Navigation, Assistance, Service). The "Classic" style provides the driver with all relevant information. The "Sporty" style is instantly recognizable by its red accents and dynamic design for the central tachometer. With the "Discreet" style, only the most essential information is displayed. In addition, both displays can be shown in seven color schemes in conjunction with the ambient lighting. The result is an impressive color experience in the interior.
    The "Off-Road Mode" in the current MBUX generation turns special content such as gradient, lateral inclination, compass and steering angle into a visual experience. Thanks to the standard Surround View system with 360‑degree camera, it offers the "transparent hood" function. When the Off-Road mode is active, the central display shows a virtual view under the front of the vehicle. This enables the driver to recognize obstacles in their path such as large rocks or deep potholes sooner and more easily.
    The Off-Road Engineering Package, available for the GLS 580 4MATIC, includes an underride guard and in combination with the SUV’s standard AIRMATIC suspension, provides 1.2 inches more ground clearance.
    All-wheel drive and a gear ratio designed for pulling power allow a tow capacity of up to 7,716 lbs and a tongue weight of up to 309 lbs. Helpful additional features for use when towing include Trailer Maneuvering Assist and the updated Trailer menu in the central display.

    FINALLY A BENZ FOR KIRK TO PIMP!! YES!!! hopefully more to come. You will get more used to the tech the more you use it. As for the door in the rear it sounded weird because it’s power open and close. The button for it is on the B Pillar. Try that and I’m sure it will open and close with pure aplomb.

      Respectfully the materials are different from a "regular GLS" quality control standard are higher as well.. I build the cockpit and center consoles in the plant. Whenever we first started building them only certain team members could even put parts on the truck and of course has a special team build them.. the engines come straight from Germany as well.
