AMG GLS 63 4MATIC+
Engine: 4.0L V8 Biturbo M177 AMG z EQ Boost
Torque: 850 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.2 s

Despite being a full-size, three-row luxury SUV weighing nearly 2.6 tons, the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC+ defies physics with the composure and urgency of a high-performance sports car. At its core lies the handcrafted 4.0-liter biturbo V8 from Affalterbach, producing 612 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque, supplemented by an integrated EQ Boost starter-generator that adds an extra 21 hp and instant torque fill at low RPMs. This powertrain, paired with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed automatic and fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, enables it to surge from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds—performance once reserved for lightweight coupes, not seven-seat flagships.

Beneath the luxurious facade, the GLS 63 houses an arsenal of performance hardware designed to deliver control and confidence at speed. AMG Ride Control+ air suspension with adaptive damping, active roll stabilization (AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL), and rear-biased torque vectoring help the SUV corner flat and decisively despite its mass. Larger AMG high-performance brakes, dynamic engine mounts, and customizable drive modes including Race mode transform its behavior instantly—from silky gliding to aggressive precision. Even the optional AMG Performance exhaust delivers a visceral soundtrack tailored to the selected driving mood, from muted luxury to unrestrained roar.

What truly sets the AMG GLS 63 apart is its duality: it offers executive-level comfort with heated massaging seats, soft-close doors, and a rear entertainment suite, yet responds with the reflexes and agility of a vehicle half its size. It's this fusion of scale, speed, and sophistication that gives the GLS 63 its unique sporting character—a super-SUV that commands the autobahn and caresses mountain switchbacks with equal authority. In the realm of performance luxury, it is not just fast for its class—it sets the benchmark for what a full-size SUV can achieve.

Body Styles

Full-size luxury SUV with five doors and three rows of seating for up to seven adults. The GLS-Class is Mercedes-Benz's flagship SUV, offering limousine-grade comfort and technology in an elevated, commanding package.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The GLS name reflects the vehicle’s alignment with the S-Class in Mercedes’ portfolio — “GL” for SUV lineage and “S” for status. The Mercedes-Maybach variant elevates this further, signifying a synthesis of traditional Maybach grandeur and contemporary Mercedes-Benz engineering. Introduced in 2020, the Maybach GLS represents the brand’s ambition to conquer the ultra-luxury SUV space, rivaling the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The GLS is built on the MHA platform with AIRMATIC air suspension and E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL for a magic carpet ride, especially in Maybach mode.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“GLS” and “Maybach” both carry symbolic, internationally recognizable weight. GLS is a neutral alphanumeric acronym understood in all luxury markets, while “Maybach” is a legacy German marque synonymous with imperial quality and silent opulence. In Chinese, Middle Eastern, and European markets, the Maybach name has become a cultural symbol of status — often exceeding the prestige of S-Class sedans due to its exclusivity and visual boldness.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The GLS range offers a robust palette including Polar White, Obsidian Black, Selenite Grey, and Mojave Silver. Designo paints such as Diamond White, Emerald Green, and Twilight Blue are available, with Night Package details for AMG Line trims. Maybach models offer two-tone finishes like Obsidian over Mojave or Emerald over Iridium Silver, applied with hand-finished pinstriping.

The interior of standard GLS models includes Nappa leather in tones such as Macchiato Beige, Tartufo Brown, and Black, with natural wood or piano black trim. Maybach interiors elevate this with quilted Exclusive Nappa leather in Deep White, Crystal White/Silver Grey Pearl, and Mahogany Brown, paired with handcrafted wood inlays, refrigerated rear console, and calf massage footrests. MBUX Rear Tablet Control, reclining seats (43.5 degrees), and Champagne flute holders define the back-seat luxury.

Wheel options include 20”–23” AMG alloys on GLS 450/580, while the Maybach GLS features signature 22” or optional 23” polished monoblock wheels in chrome or silver. E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL lowers the car automatically for graceful ingress/egress — particularly refined in Maybach mode, which disables suspension rocking for rear passenger comfort.

Top Expensive Options

  • E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL with Curve Mode: ~$6,500
  • Executive Rear Seating Package PLUS (GLS 580): ~$3,800
  • Burmester 3D High-End Surround Sound (Maybach): ~$6,700
  • Maybach Exclusive Two-Tone Paint Finish: ~$14,500
  • Designo Exclusive Nappa Leather Package: ~$5,000
  • Champagne Fridge + Flute Holders (Maybach): ~$3,200

  • 23” Maybach Monoblock Polished Wheels: ~$2,600
  • Warmth & Comfort Package (heated armrests, doors): ~$1,800
  • AIR BALANCE cabin fragrance with Maybach scent: ~$600

vs Competitors

The GLS-Class competes in two tiers. The GLS 450 and 580 go up against the BMW X7, Audi Q7/Q8, Cadillac Escalade, and Lincoln Navigator — offering more refined ride comfort, better interior materials, and higher customization. Meanwhile, the Maybach GLS 600 competes with the Bentley Bentayga V8, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and Range Rover SV — offering unmatched rear-seat luxury with S-Class-caliber comfort in a commanding SUV form. The Maybach GLS uniquely blends high luxury with the daily usability and driving smoothness of Mercedes-Benz platforms — without the bulk or price tag of ultra-bespoke rivals.

Fun Fact

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 was the first Maybach SUV ever produced, combining handcrafted cabin opulence with SUV versatility. It also features a unique Maybach Mode suspension setting — disabling body tilting during cornering and start-stop behavior — so rear passengers experience absolute serenity. The model is assembled at the Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant, and its paint and final finish pass through a dedicated Maybach zone, where select details are hand-fitted like in the S-Class Pullman.
