2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS price and specs

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS three-row large SUV has higher prices all round in time for the new model year.

Prices have risen between $6398 and $8528 depending on trim level.

The range now opens at $155,298 before on-road costs for the base GLS450 4Matic and extends to $262,700 before on-road costs for the flagship Mercedes-AMG GLS63 4Matic+.

According to a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson, the price rises are due to a number of outside influences.
