Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a luxury SUV for buyers who want a large, seven-seat Mercedes-Benz with a petrol drivetrain rather than an electric SUV. In Malaysia, the X167 facelift range starts from RM999,888, with the locally assembled GLS450 AMG Line using a 2,999 cc engine, 362 hp and a conventional automatic transmission.

GLS in 2026 — what's new

For Malaysia, the X167 facelift GLS carries on into 2026 as the locally assembled GLS450 AMG Line. The facelifted model arrived in 2024, when the GLS450 was launched alongside the Maybach GLS600. Globally, 2026 brings a further GLE/GLS facelift with a full-width Superscreen and AMG powertrain news, followed by the 2027 AMG GLS63, but those are separate from the Malaysian GLS450 range.

Verdict

The GLS450 sits in a high-priced corner of the luxury SUV segment. It costs clearly more than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV from RM625,888, while remaining well below the Mercedes-Maybach GLS from RM1,918,888. Its case is straightforward: seven seats, a 362 hp 3.0-litre petrol drivetrain and the facelifted X167 body launched in Malaysia in 2024. Cross-shop the Mercedes alternatives carefully, because the price spread is wide.
