About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class maintains its position as a segment leader in luxury and performance crossover utility, anchored by three distinct powertrains spanning a wide performance envelope.

Efficiency metrics for this model peg combined fuel economy at 21 MPG (19 city/24 highway) utilizing premium unleaded fuel through a standard all-wheel-drive system and 9-speed automatic transmission. The maximum performance variant, the AMG GLS 63, tops the range near $149,500, offering significantly more power.
