We have the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS at Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell in Ft. Mitchell, KY. Two classes of Mercedes-Benz GLS models are available: the Mercedes-Benz GLS450, a six-cylinder, and the eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz GLS580. Both work off of air suspension and have the E-Active Body Control technology. This system is a camera that detects bumps or obstacles on the road and triggers adequate suspension to keep the vehicle safe.
Each has its own performance feature, and both have minor hybridization features. The Mercedes-Benz GLS450 has a V6, 3.0 turbocharged engine with 375 horsepower. The Mercedes-Benz GLS580 has a 4.0 V8 twin-turbocharged engine with 510 horsepower.
In a "Car and Driver" performance test, the Mercedes-Benz GLS450 hit 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. Within 154 feet, it reached 70 mph, giving it an outstanding speed record. The team didn't test the GLS580, but you can bank on its extra horsepower and twin-turbocharged engine; it can easily surpass the test results of the Mercedes-Benz GLS450.
