2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS Updated: first images




The German company is preparing a restyled version of its flagship crossover, but for now, using the available spy photos, we decided to imagine what the new product will look like.




The GLS model first appeared in 2016, this name was given to a large second-generation GL crossover with a factory index X166 after restyling. Today, the second generation of the SUV with the X167 index is on the conveyor, its premiere took placeΒ in the spring of 2019.Β Now the time is coming for a planned update, and partially camouflaged samples of the restyled version have already been captured by photo spies several times.

Changes in appearance will be evolutionary in nature. One of the most noticeable differences from the current crossover is a new front bumper with body-colored decorative inserts along the edges. Judging by the spy photos, the flagship crossover can get a new radiator grille with four horizontal bars (the current SUV has two). In this case, the headlights, most likely, will remain intact. As for the rear, on the test samples, only the area of ​​the lanterns is hidden with a masking film, which, during restyling, can get new graphics. We have depicted two styling options – in the style of the new GLC crossover and the flagship S-Class sedan.
