The 2024 Mercedes‑Benz GLS450 is a full‑size luxury three‑row SUV that blends refined comfort, advanced tech and strong efficiency for its class. Positioned below the AMG and Maybach variants, the GLS450 emphasizes balanced performance and everyday usability with a turbocharged inline‑6 and mild‑hybrid assistance. The cabin is spacious and quiet, featuring Mercedes’ MBUX infotainment, upscale materials, and a long list of driver‑assist features that make family hauling both comfortable and confidence‑inspiring.
- Engine and powertrain:
- 3.0‑liter inline‑6 turbo with EQ Boost 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system
- 9‑speed automatic transmission (9G‑TRONIC)
- Output: 362 hp and 369 lb‑ft of torque (EQ Boost can add short‑term torque/power assist)
- Fuel consumption (EPA estimates, typical for GLS450; actual may vary by drive cycle):
- Combined: ~20 mpg
- City: ~18 mpg
- Highway: ~23–24 mpg
- Towing, heavy loads, or aggressive driving will reduce real‑world fuel economy
