Both the variants – the GLS 350 d and the GLS 400 will be priced at Rs 86.90 Lakh (ex-showroom, India). The GLS Class is often touted as the S-Class of SUVs in India. The full-grown seven-seater SUV will be offered with only styling changes.
The exterior of the GLS Grand Edition comes loaded with LED Intelligent Light System with unique black rings and Corner light function, 50.8 cm (20-inch) 10-spoke light alloy wheels that are painted in Black and with a high-sheen finish, ‘Grand Edition’ exterior badges and chrome fins on the bonnet.
