Mercedes-Benz GLS First Drive Review

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar30 Jun 2016

A new name and mainly a cosmetic update of the very capable, Mercedes-Benz GL. Under the new nomenclature pattern, all the Mercedes SUV names have three alphabets, wherein the ‘GL’ as a prefix is standard while the last alphabets denotes the size of the car. If the GLA is the A-Class of Mercedes SUVs, then obviously the GL under the new format becomes the GLS!

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS

By Omkar Thakur09 Nov 2015

Mercedes-Benz has been launching SUVs globally with a new nomenclature. In India, we already have the GLA crossover SUV and the recently launched GLE that replaces the ML-Class. Mercedes has now unveiled a GL replacement, the new GLS and as the name suggests, it will sit above the GLE to be their largest SUV to be sold in the country. The GLS is an update to the current generation GL rather than an entirely new car.
