Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line Design Upgrades.
When you take a look at the Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line, the first thing that catches your eye is its aggressive front apron, which features AMG-specific elements. Compared to the standard GLS, this variant feels more sporty and bold, especially because of the blacked-out Night Package. Even the roof rails, grille inserts, and ORVMs are finished in black, which enhances the road presence of the SUV a lot.
The side skirts are also AMG style, which completes the overall dynamic look. The rear apron also feels sporty from behind and highlights the low-slung yet massive look of the car. And the icing on the cake? 21-inch AMG alloy wheels, which give this SUV a premium yet performance-oriented look.
Interior: Premium Cabin With AMG Elements.
Even from the inside, this Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line does not suffer any compromise. The first thing to notice is its multifunction sports steering wheel in Nappa leather. Along with the steering wheel grip, the feel is also ultra-premium. Then come the AMG sports pedals, which come in brushed stainless steel – a subtle yet stylish touch.
And did you notice the AMG branding on the floor mats? Small detailing, but very impactful. And the impact of the Night Package is not just limited to the exterior. Blacked-out trims create a feel in the cabin as well, creating a sporty yet elegant ambiance. All these elements say one thing – this isn’t just a luxury SUV, it’s a lifestyle statement.
Performance: Twin Turbo Power Packed in Elegance.
As aggressive as the look, so much is the explosive performance! GLS AMG Line is available in both versions:
GLS 450 AMG Line (Petrol): 3.0L 6-cylinder turbocharged engine.
- Power: 375 bhp.
- Torque: 500 Nm.
GLS 450d AMG Line (Diesel): 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo diesel.
- Power: 362 bhp.
- Torque: 750 Nm.
Both variants get a 9G-TRONIC automatic gearbox, which is Mercedes’ trusted 9-speed transmission. This means butter-smooth gear shifts, whether you’re driving in the city or on a stretch of highway. And yes, both variants have a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 6.1 seconds! Getting such performance numbers from an SUV of this size is an amazing thing. Top speed? 250 km/h, electronically limited – but that’s more than enough for India’s highways.
Technology & Comfort: Next Level Luxury.
What do you expect from a luxury brand? Of course – cutting-edge tech and ultra-luxury features. The GLS AMG Line is no slouch either.
The GLS includes the following features:
- MBUX dual-screen system.

- Burmester 3D surround sound system.

- Electrically adjustable second-row seats.

All these features create an effortless and intelligent luxury experience for both the driver and passengers.
