Mercedes-Benz GLS/GL-Class Submodels
Mercedes-Benz launched the GL-Class (X164) in 2006 as its first full-size, 3-row SUV, targeting the North American market directly. It shared its platform with the M-Class but offered more space and luxury. The second generation (X166) arrived for 2013, and in 2016, a major facelift also brought a name change to GLS-Class, aligning it as the S-Class of the brand's SUV lineup. The current generation (X167), introduced in 2019, elevated the model's luxury status with options like E-Active Body Control and the flagship Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600.
Buying Tips
- Check the AIRMATIC air suspension carefully. Look for sagging at any corner or a compressor that runs constantly, as repairs are expensive.
- On V8 models (M273 engine), listen for timing chain rattles on startup. On V6 diesels (OM642), check for evidence of oil cooler leaks, a common and labor-intensive repair.
- Test every electronic accessory, from the COMMAND infotainment system to the power-folding third row and keyless entry, as failures aren't uncommon.
- Inspect for water intrusion by checking for damp carpets, especially in the front footwells and rear cargo area. Clogged sunroof drains are a frequent cause.
- Demand a complete and consistent service history. These are complex vehicles, and deferred maintenance on the engine, transmission, or brakes can be financially ruinous.
