The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS interior is designed to give passengers generous space across three rows while incorporating the materials, technology and comfort features expected from a flagship Mercedes-Benz SUV. The standard GLS family can accommodate up to seven passengers, while an available six-passenger layout replaces the second-row bench with individual captain’s chairs.
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 uses a different seating arrangement, focusing on four- or five-passenger comfort rather than a third row.
The GLS cabin provides substantial passenger and cargo space for daily driving, family transportation and longer trips throughout Southern California.
With the rear seating folded, the GLS can accommodate larger luggage, recreational equipment and other cargo. The power-folding third row also makes it easier to transition between passenger seating and additional storage space.
Comfort is central to the GLS experience. Depending on configuration and selected equipment, interior amenities can include:
The GLS combines its spacious interior with an advanced digital cockpit. Mercedes-Benz User Experience technology integrates vehicle settings, navigation, entertainment and connectivity into a central touchscreen interface, while a digital instrument display places key driving information directly in front of the driver.
Voice Control with Natural Language Understanding provides another way to interact with compatible vehicle functions. Together, these systems help create an intuitive cabin for daily drives around Ladera Ranch, Laguna Niguel and the surrounding Orange County area.
The ideal 2024 GLS configuration depends on the combination of performance, seating and luxury you prefer.
