Superlative luxury: The new Mercedes-Benz GLS facelift is available in Romania. Details and official prices

The Stuttgart-based manufacturer's largest and most opulent SUV receives a refreshed design, more powerful electrified engines, and is ready to challenge for supremacy in the domestic premium segment.

Officially presented in the spring of this year, the new Mercedes-Benz GLS facelift is now available for order on the Romanian market. The German manufacturer has prepared a series of discreet but effective exterior aesthetic revisions, along with a range of engines optimized for increased efficiency.

Three mild-hybrid engines available at launch

The battle in the luxury segment: GLS vs. BMW X7

The main traditional rival of the Stuttgart flagship remains the BMW X7. The two German titans propose slightly different approaches to the standard: Mercedes-Benz relies on the efficiency of a diesel engine for the starting price, while the Munich rival proposes a more agile gasoline unit in the same budget area, but with a slightly higher combined consumption.

Model / Version	Power (hp)	Combined Fuel Consumption (l/100 km)	Acceleration 0-100 km/h (seconds)	List Price* (Euro, with VAT)
Mercedes-Benz GLS 350d 4Matic (3.0 Diesel MHEV)	313	7.9	6.2	€109,990
BMW X7 xDrive40i (3.0 Petrol MHEV)	381	9.6	5.8	€105,633

With an extremely competitive combined fuel consumption for its size (only 7.9 liters/100 km) and an undeniable status as the "S-Class of SUVs", the new Mercedes-Benz GLS facelift aims to keep its crown in the luxury vehicle segment in Romania, offering an imposing presence and unmatched comfort.
