Exterior and interior updates

On the outside, the AMG Line trim receives several sportier elements, including a more aggressive front bumper with larger air intakes, body-coloured wheel arch cladding, and body-coloured side sills. At the rear, the SUV features a revised bumper with a blacked-out diffuser-style insert and a slim chrome strip. Inside the cabin, the highlight is a new AMG twin-spoke steering wheel, accompanied by stainless steel pedals and AMG-branded floor mats, enhancing the sporty and premium character of the GLS AMG Line.

Mercedes GLS AMG Night Package 

Mercedes-Benz is also offering the Night Package for customers seeking a stealthier aesthetic. The package includes black finishes for wing mirror caps, window trims, roof rails, and the 21-inch alloy wheels. The SUV’s grille receives dark chrome-finished slats, and the dashboard is wrapped in black leather upholstery, giving the cabin a darker, more aggressive feel.

Powertrain options remain unchanged

Under the hood, the GLS AMG Line continues with the same 3.0-litre inline-six petrol and diesel engines. The petrol engine delivers 381PS and 500Nm, while the diesel produces 367hp and 750Nm. Both powertrains are paired with a 9-speed torque converter automatic gearbox and feature 4MATIC all-wheel-drive as standard.
