New generation Mercedes-Benz GLS SUVs

The new-generation Mercedes-Benz GLS SUVs debuted in the ancient Chinese city of Xi'an on Thursday. The model has five variants, the GLS 350 d 4MATIC, GLS 400 4MATIC Dynamic, GLS 400 4MATIC Luxury, GLS 500 4MATIC and Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC, with list prices ranging from 1,076,000 yuan ($165,489) to 1,998,000 yuan.

As the flagship model of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family, the new generation GLS SUV is the only seven-seat SUV model to hail from an established premium European brand, and is "the S-Class of SUVs".

"With the new GLS 63 4MATIC, we are completing our unrivalled lineup of high-performance SUVs," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

"The new model captivates with further sharpened dynamic handling, superior product quality and highly individual equipment features."

With a rated output of 430 kW, a discrete suspension and a revised AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission, the new Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC marks the pinnacle of high-performance SUVs.

Features that come as standard include the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT transmission modes, which provide optimum flexibility, and the rear-biased AMG Performance all-wheel drive. The GLS 63 4MATIC also shows strength of character with its updated design featuring the AMG brand look and high-quality interior.
