Four years after unveiling the third generation of its biggest SUV, the GLS, Mercedes-Benz introduced a facelifted version for it, trying to keep this model's sales high.

There were not that many options for premium, seven-seat SUVs on the market, and yet the German automaker cared to keep its product up to modern standards. Evolution was part of its philosophy, and after refreshing the GLE and the GLE Coupe, it had to come with an improved version of the GLS. The vehicle was big enough to comfortably fit a family of four plus a couple of friends. In addition, the powerful engines provided were capable of taking this behemoth vehicle fast, even with a trailer attached at the back.

The 2024 model year came with a new grille adorned by four louvers galvanized in Silver Shadow and a new bumper that featured a pair of side air intakes on the lower side. In addition, the car's headlights were redesigned and sported a boomerang-shaped daytime running light plus two smaller blocks inside the headlamps. From its profile, the vehicle boasted new light-alloy wheels and a set of side steps, depending on the options.

Inside, the carmaker offered the GLS with seven seats fitted as standard in a 2-3-2 configuration. The dashboard featured a wide glass panel that covered both the instrument panel and the MBUX infotainment system, which resembled the one featured on the EQS SUV. The one placed atop the center stack was, as expected, touch-responsive.

Under the hood, the GLS received a choice of four gasoline and turbo-diesel engines, all of which were turbocharged.
