The current generation of the Mercedes-Benz GLS is set to get another refresh, spy shots have confirmed. The third-gen model made its international debut in November 2019, and received its first facelift in 2023, and both have been brought to the Indian market.

  1. Mercedes GLS facelift to sport new front and rear design
  2. Interior, features to be similar to the latest Mercedes models
  3. Electrified petrol and diesel engines expected to continue

Mercedes GLS facelift exterior highlights

The GLS facelift spied on test only has camouflage on the nose and rear section, indicating that majority of the changes will be seen on those areas. The spy shots hint at slimmer headlights, a slightly reshaped grille, and mildly restyled front and rear bumpers, along with different LED signatures in the tail-lamps.

Mercedes GLS facelift interior, features

While the spy shots do not show the seven-seat SUV’s interior, we expect it’ll have the latest (and larger) infotainment touchscreen and software seen on newer Mercedes models, along with minor design and upholstery changes. The array of safety, comfort and convenience features – from the ADAS suite and adjustable air suspension to the ‘Rear Seat Comfort’ package – seen on the current GLS facelift are expected to continue.

Mechanically, the new GLS facelift is likely to be unchanged. The current model on sale in India comes in GLS 450 (381hp, 3.0-litre, straight-six turbo-petrol) and GLS 450d (367hp, 3.0-litre, straight-six, diesel) forms, both of which get a mild-hybrid system that can add up to 20hp. A 9-speed automatic and Merc's 4Matic AWD system are expected to be standard fitment.

Mercedes GLS facelift India launch

This latest GLS facelift is likely to come to India in the future. However, considering Mercedes-Benz India launched the current GLS facelift at the start of the year, and that the spied model is only expected to be revealed in full early next year, the updated SUV is not expected any time soon.

Meanwhile, the German luxury brand will announce prices for the AMG GLC 43 4Matic and the CLE Cabriolet on August 8, and has plans to introduce four more models before the end of 2024. These include the Maybach EQS, all-new E-Class and the G 580 with EQ Tech.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
