The Mercedes GLS range in India now includes a new
Grand Edition model. The Mercedes GLS Grand Edition is the first new launch
from Mercedes-Benz this fiscal.
The Mercedes GLS Grand Edition’s key highlights are
black rings integrated with the Intelligent LED Light system, new 20-inch
10-spoke alloy wheels painted in Black and with a high-sheen finish and a
standard Rear Seat Entertainment System with two 7-inch HD screens. The
exterior looks barely any different from the regular model. The 'Grand
Edition’ badges are present to let onlookers know that it’s a special edition
model.
The Mercedes GLS Grand Edition is available in two
models: GLS 350 d 4MATIC and GLS 400 4MATIC. The former employs a 3.0-litre V6
diesel engine producing 258 hp and 620 Nm of torque. The latter uses a
3.0-litre V6 petrol engine that develops 333 hp and 480 Nm of torque.
The 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission and the 4MATIC permanent AWD
system are standard.
The Mercedes GLS Grand Edition, in both GLS 350 d
4MATIC and GLS 400 MATIC models, is priced at INR 86.90 lakh (ex-showroom
India). Announcing the special edition model, Mercedes-Benz has also revealed
that India is in the top six markets for the Mercedes GLS globally.
