Mercedes-amg GLS FAQs

• What does GLS mean on a Mercedes?

  Previously known as the GL, the modern-day GLS is one of a series of Mercedes-Benz SUVs that all feature the first two letters "GL" in their name. The third letter in the name represents the model series for the respective range, and in this case, that is the 'S' range. It's also worth noting that the "G" at the beginning of the name stands for ‘geländewagen’, which is German for off-road vehicle.

• How much is a GLS 63 AMG?

  Prices for the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 currently kick off at just shy of $280,000, which is before you take into account optional extras, and on-road costs. If you want an all-inclusive price, ask your local dealer for a driveaway price, which includes things like stamp duty, dealer delivery fee, registration, and other government charges and taxes. These can add thousands of dollars to the final price, so don't neglect them when you set yourself a budget for a new car.

• Is there a GLS AMG?

  In a class of its own, the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 hybrid is the performance-tuned iteration of the original seven-seat large SUV. Apart from sporting a more aggressive look, the AMG GLS is a slicker unit than the original, but you'll pay for the pleasure of course. Nonetheless, this hybrid model sports a twin-turbo, 4.0-litre engine that can pump out a staggering 450kW of power at 5750rpm, and a mammoth 850Nm of torque at 2250rpm. This is one car that does justice to the AMG tag in every possible way.
