Expect the same power trains to carry over to the GLS-Class, meaning a a turbocharged V6 diesel will likely be the base model, sporting 240 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. A turbo V6 will also likely be available, with 362 hp and 369 lb-ft, while a turbo V8 with put out 429 hp and 516 lb-ft. Mercedes has also hinted that a top of the range Mercedes-AMG model will be available with a turbo V-8 making about 550 hp and 560 lb-ft. All models will come with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
There have been rumors of a Maybach version of the GLS-Class coming to the range, we’ll have to wait until the car’s official debut in LA to learn more.

This is nothing more than a refresh GL Class basically. However, it will continue to sell well.
The, now standard and in-your-face large Mercedes badge. Classless and cm,etely lacking in grace. Whatever happend to elegance in design......unless the next E-class changes things?
