The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV is the largest SUV manufactured by the automaker, and it's a wonder to behold. With seats for seven, a tech-forward cabin, and enviable dynamics, this luxury SUV is a must-have for families and discerning drivers. Learn what makes the Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV an enduring class leader at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnwood.
Power and Performance
Two trims make up the storied 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV lineup, with each one having a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. A turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine powers the base model, and it produces 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. That's enough power for the base trim to reach 60 miles per hour from a standstill in a scant 5.8 seconds.
Able to do the same in a blisteringly fast 4.7 seconds, the top-tier Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 4MATIC® SUV appeals to performance enthusiasts as much as it does to daily drivers. The top model relies on a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine for near-instant motivation. That engine delivers a stout 510 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque.
Towing and Cargo
As luxurious as they are, new Mercedes-Benz SUVs are also made to work, so their owners don't have to overextend themselves. With the right equipment, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV can tow as much as 7,700 lbs. If you fold the second and third rows, the SUV's cargo capacity measures 84.7 cubic feet, which is plenty of room for luggage and/or groceries.
Technology Features
Selectable, 64-color ambient interior lighting projects pleasant colors onto the dashboard of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV, highlighting tech features like a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. That touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, Bluetooth® integration, and voice recognition. Wireless device charging, a premium 13-speaker sound system, and augmented-reality navigation are also standard.
Safety Features
Laudable safety features are almost too plentiful to count for the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV. The Driver Assistance Package® includes features like stop-and-go adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera. That bundle also includes:
- Evasive Steering Assist
