The interior of the new Mercedes-Benz GLS
Doha: The new Mercedes-Benz GLS is Mercedes Benz’s largest and most luxurious SUV and, above all, offers more: more space, more comfort, and more luxury.
Nasser Bin Khaled Automobiles, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, has introduced the new Mercedes-Benz GLS, the Mercedes-Benz’s largest and most luxurious SUV, in Qatar. The vehicle that offer more space, more comfort, and more luxury is available now at Mercedes-Benz showroom on Salwa Road.
The confident presence of its exterior stems from its impressive dimensions, which are even larger than those of its predecessor (length +77 mm, width +22 mm). One of the benefits of the 60 mm longer wheelbase is interior spaciousness, especially in the second row. The three fully electrically adjustable seat rows offer all passengers a generous amount of space and outstanding seating comfort.
The seats in the third row can be lowered into the floor to increase the boot space (up to 2400 litres), while the seats in the second-row fold flat. Celebrating its world premiere in the GLS 580 4MATIC is an electrified V8 engine featuring EQ Boost - a 48-volt system with integrated starter-generator.
The e-active body control active suspension on 48-volt basis offers outstanding suspension comfort, agile handling and a high degree of off-road capability. Like the GLE, the GLS features the latest generation of Mercedes- Benz driving assistance systems giving cooperative support to the driver. The new 4MATIC ensures great agility on the road and strong performance off the beaten track.
The new GLS has impressive aerodynamics in its segment, with a Cd figure of 0.32. It has a new Carwash function, which enables the car to be prepared for entry into a carwash with a single press of a button. As the S-Class of SUVs, the new GLS indulges its passengers, especially those in the rear seat. The key comfort features include MBUX Rear Seat Entertainment System: Two 11.6-inch touchscreens for movie, music and internet enjoyment; Rear Comfort package Plus: Separate tablet for controlling all of the MBUX comfort and entertainment functions from the rear seats; Electrically adjustable seats throughout as standard, as is the Easy- Entry function, which makes it easy to get into and out of the third seat row; Simple folding-down of all rear seats at the push of a button; Two fully fledged seats in the third row (for people up to 1.94 m tall); Heated seats and separate USB charging ports for the third row; and Five-zone automatic climate control.
Modern luxury both on and off the road: that is the design message of the new GLS. Its aesthetics are based on the confident presence that its impressive dimensions alone create (length 5207 mm, width 1956 mm). The wheelbase of 3135 mm, which is 60 mm longer than that of its predecessor, makes the vehicle beneficially longer and gives it harmonious proportions, emphasised by the understated, elegant side design.
The interior of the new GLS is all about luxuriously elegant aesthetics, the comfort of a Mercedes-Benz luxury saloon with the robustly progressive detailing of an SUV. The central element in the dashboard’s design is an impressively sized screen unit embedded in a distinctive support. The dashboard support flows into the door p All seats are electrically adjustable as standard.
The same applies to the EASYENTRY function, which makes it easy to get into and out of the two individual seats in the third row. For this, the seats in the second row move a long way forwards and fold forwards.
Luxury in the new GLS is shared generously among all passengers, particularly if the Rear Comfort package Plus is ordered. It includes a 7-inch Android tablet in its own docking station in the second row’s larger luxury centre armrest.
The tablet allows control of all the MBUX comfort and entertainment functions from the rear seat rows, such as access to radio, TV, media, phone and web browser. It can also be used to control the Rear Seat Comfort package and the fivezone automatic climate control for the rear seats. The driver can assume control of all options and features from his or her seat at any time, of course.
The centre console also offers a wireless-charging compartment for smartphones and additional USB ports.
