Mercedes-Benz GLS
The GLS also features star-shaped DRLs.
The next-generation GLS will also be equipped with star-shaped daytime running lights.
The prototype of the Mercedes-Benz GLS, which is likely to undergo a major update close to a full model change, is equipped with completely new headlights. Inside, it can be seen that the star-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRL) that Mercedes will use in the future are incorporated. The front grille is hidden by a cover, but it features a “three-pointed star” dot pattern. The horizontal bar connecting to the emblem has been changed to a simpler, slimmer design.
The rear and interior have also evolved
The taillights also feature a star-shaped design, but the design appears to be different from the DRLs.
The rear section also appears to be undergoing minor changes. The overall shape is similar to the current model, but the taillights feature three-pointed star-shaped LEDs with a different design from the DRLs. The bumper has been redesigned, and chrome trim can be seen on the exhaust pipes.
The interior is also expected to be refined in terms of design and materials, and advancements in the ADAS and infotainment systems are also expected.
The first plug-in hybrid?
There is also a possibility that the first plug-in hybrid version of the GLS will be introduced.
The current model lineup includes a 3.0-liter inline-6 turbo engine that produces a maximum output of 375 PS, and a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that produces 510 PS. The powertrain is expected to carry over, but there are also rumors of the introduction of a plug-in hybrid system for the first time in anticipation of stricter exhaust gas regulations.
