MERCEDES BENZ GLS - EXPLORING NEW TERRAINS
INTRODUCTION
The Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, formerly Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, is a full-size luxury SUV produced by Mercedes-Benz since 2006. According to Mercedes-Benz, it is the SUV equivalent of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It is a three-row, seven-passenger vehicle positioned above the GLE-Class (formerly Mercedes-Benz M-Class before 2016), and is the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz SUV line.
The GLS shares the same unibody architecture with the GLE-Class. Most GLS-Class vehicles are assembled at the Mercedes plant in Alabama, except for a small number of early 2007 production vehicles which were manufactured in Germany. The first-generation model (X164) was manufactured between 2006 and 2012 and was replaced in 2012 by the new generation GL-Class (X166).
From 2016 with the release of the facelifted second-generation model, the GL-Class was renamed to GLS-Class as per the revised nomenclature adopted by Mercedes. Under this scheme, SUVs use the base name "GL", followed by the model's placement in the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy. The "G" is for geländewagen (German for off-road vehicles) and alludes to the long-running G-Class. This is followed by the letter "L" that acts as a linkage with the letter "S", the SUV equivalent to the S-Class.

REVIEW
A perfect luxury SUV for Indian roads. The new technology feature and the innovative infotainment system are simply exceptional. The navigation is by far the best ever on any car across all segments. But The pickup is also not good and heavily priced var. They are not providing ventilated seats and massage functions, swinging suspension which is very useful off-road. No sports mode only comfort, eco, off-road modes are available. The most underrated Suv with a heavy price tag. GLS is a perfect suitable family car, massive size and mainly it grabs so much attention. Features wise no doubt, all required features are present.
