2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class
What Is It?
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class is the flagship full-size luxury SUV from Mercedes-Benz, configured as a seven-seat petrol-powered vehicle that blends family practicality with performance. Powered to deliver 429 hp, fitted with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the GLS is aimed at buyers seeking a spacious, premium SUV that can handle both daily commuting and long-distance drives across the UAE.
Design & Exterior
The GLS presents a strong road presence with a long-wheelbase silhouette and SUV proportions that suit the wide boulevards and highways of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Its elevated stance and 4WD capability make it visually and functionally appropriate for occasional desert excursions or sandy suburban roads, while exterior touches and lighting are designed to remain durable under intense sun and fine dust common in the UAE climate.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the seven-seat layout prioritizes space and versatility for families and executives who regularly travel with passengers and luggage. The cabin is designed to provide generous shoulder and legroom across three rows, and strong climate-control performance is essential for UAE heat—expect efficient air-conditioning, sun-reflective glazing and refined materials that withstand high temperatures. The overall ambience balances luxury appointments with the practical needs of long highway journeys and school runs.
Performance & Engine
Under the bonnet the GLS’s petrol drivetrain produces 429 hp, paired to an automatic gearbox and 4WD, delivering brisk straight-line performance with a 0–100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds. That acceleration gives confident overtaking on emirates’ multi-lane highways and effortless cruising at higher speeds between cities. As a large, powerful petrol SUV with all-wheel drive, expect fuel economy to be moderate compared with smaller cars; urban stop-start traffic in city centres will increase consumption relative to steady highway driving.
Safety & Tech Features
Mercedes-Benz equips the GLS with a comprehensive package of safety and convenience technologies designed for modern driving environments. Active driver-assist systems, adaptive suspension options and advanced occupant protection are core to the model’s appeal, helping manage high-speed motorway runs and everyday urban traffic. Connectivity and infotainment systems are also tuned for ease of use during long trips, offering navigation and cabin controls that are useful in the varied driving conditions across the UAE.
Why Buy It in the UAE?
The GLS suits UAE buyers who want seven-seat versatility without sacrificing performance or prestige. Its powerful petrol engine and 4WD make it well matched to both long-distance motorway travel and occasional sandy tracks, while the roomy, climate-controlled interior addresses the demands of Gulf summers. For families, business owners and residents who prioritize comfort, space and strong highway manners, the GLS balances luxurious refinement with practical capability for Emirati roads.
Price Range
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class starts in the UAE from AED 554,900. Additional options, higher trims and popular packages will raise the on-road price, and buyers should factor in registration, insurance and fuel costs given the GLS’s petrol powertrain and expected fuel consumption.
