    About the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class

    Last updated Jun 27, 2024

    Mercedes-Benz Australia has detailed its local 2024 GLS range, with a new turbo-diesel option joining the line-up but the turbo-petrol GLS 450 departing.

    The 2024 model has received a mid-life update which includes updated technology and some cosmetic changes.

    With these changes comes a price increase of $11,630 for the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4Matic+ and $15,931 for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic.

    The range now opens at $184,900 before on-road costs for the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450d 4Matic – just over $14,000 higher than the previous entry point to the range – and extends to $409,900 before on-road costs for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic.
