The new Mercedes-Benz GLS is now here

MANILA: The most luxurious of Mercedes-Benz SUVs is finally here, bigger than ever and with all the comforts that an S-Class brings, the new GLS.

The third generation comes with larger dimensions (length 5,207mm, width 1,956mm) and with a wheelbase (3,135mm) that’s 60mm longer than that of its predecessor.

Its exterior sports the brand’s latest design philosophy "Sensual Purity,"  which does away with sharp edges in favor of more sculpted surfaces. Multibeam LED headlamps come standard.

There’s an AMG trim in the lineup that sports an AMG front bumper with distinctive air intakes in the wheel arch linings, and 21-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke light alloy wheels.

With a longer wheelbase, the cabin is more spacious (length +77mm, width +22mm). Able to accommodate seven people, the second row seats can be electrically adjusted while the seats in the third row can be lowered into the floor to increase the boot space (up to 2,400 liters).

There’s automatic climate control with a "Thermotronic" feature, a five-zone system with separate temp and fan settings in every row.

The all-leather interior is highlighted by a 12.3-inch screen controlled by the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), a heads-up display system, and mood lighting using 64 LED bulbs. It has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Burmester Surround Sound System with a high-end 3D sound system.

Safety features include Lane Tracking Package, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, 360-degree camera, Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist System, and the marque’s Parktronic system with Active Parking Assist.

It comes standard with an Airmatic Package for the maximum ride comfort, Adaptive Damping System at each wheel so it can adapt to the current driving situation instantly.

Under the hood is an in-line-six turbo engine sending power to the wheels via the 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.

The SRP of the GLS 350d 4MATIC AMG Line is P8.99 million.
