Whether you're new to luxury motoring or a veteran, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV belongs in your driveway. The largest SUV manufactured by the Mercedes-Benz team, this flagship vehicle stands the test of time, just as it did when it first rolled off the production line. Take a closer look with the experts at Fields Motorcars in Lakeland, Florida.
Power and Performance
Both of the trims that make up the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV lineup have a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. The base model relies on a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine for motivation, and it delivers 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. That's enough power for the sizeable SUV to reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill in just 5.8 seconds.
Able to do the same in a scant 4.7 seconds, the top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 4MATIC® SUV speaks to discerning drivers across all generations. A twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine motivates the top-tier trim, with an output that more than justifies the SUV's top speed of 130 mph. Total system output for the top model is an eye-opening 510 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, making the SUV wildly fleet-footed.
Towing and Cargo
New Mercedes-Benz SUVs like the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV are made to work as much as they're outfitted to pamper their occupants. When it has the right equipment, this SUV can tow up to 7,700 lbs. If you fold the second and third rows, the vehicle's maximum cargo capacity skyrockets from 17.4 cubic feet up to 84.7 cubic feet.
Technology Features
All its tech features increase the ageless appeal of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV. The vehicle's configurable ambient interior lighting highlights features like its 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. That touchscreen supports voice recognition, augmented-reality navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity seamlessly. Wireless charging and a premium 13-speaker sound system are also standard.
Safety Features
Laudable safety features make the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV even more popular across age groups. Evasive steering assist, a Driver Attention Monitor, and Park Assist are all included on the vehicle's list of amenities. Emergency Stop Assist, a Blind-Spot Monitor, and a Lane Departure Warning are included, too.
