Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a seven-seat luxury SUV in the X167 facelift generation, launched in Malaysia in 2024. It suits buyers who need three rows, all-wheel drive and a petrol powertrain in a large Mercedes-Benz SUV. The sole locally assembled GLS450 AMG Line starts from RM999,888, with a 2,999 cc 362 hp petrol engine and automatic transmission.

For 2026, the GLS receives another facelift internationally, bringing a full-width Superscreen. Mercedes-Benz also announces a 4.0-litre flat-plane-crank V8 and a 585 PS AMG plug-in hybrid for the updated GLS range. The current Malaysian range consists of the locally assembled GLS450 AMG Line, with a 2,999 cc petrol engine producing 362 hp, AWD and seven seats. A 603 hp, 850 Nm AMG GLS63 is due to debut for 2027.

The GLS’s case is straightforward: seven seats, AWD and 362 hp from the sole locally assembled petrol variant. Against listed luxury-SUV rivals, it costs more than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, which starts at RM625,888, but less than the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV from RM1,088,888 and Lexus LX from RM1,540,000. The one-variant range keeps specification choice simple, though it does not provide a lower-cost GLS entry point.

What a used GLS holds of its price, by registration year: the trade-guide value insurers and dealers reference, and the price the market typically asks.
