The S-Class of SUVs, aka the Mercedes-Benz GLS, has entered the Brabus portfolio, emerging with sportier accents inside and out, and a small boost in power.
Building on the AMG Line version, it adds redesigned surrounds for the side air intakes, with integrated lights, tailgate-mounted spoiler and the tuner’s badges and logos that replace the stock ones. A number of different-sized wheels are available at Brabus, including the 24-inch Monobloc Z Platinum Edition equipping the pictured car, with Pirelli’s 295/35 front and 335/30 rear tires wrapped around them.

Several exclusive options are available for the interior, with the list counting pretty much everything an owner could want, from the stainless scuff plates with the backlit ‘Brabus’ logo to the aluminum parts for the door-lock pins and pedals. Fine leather can also be included for an extra penny, as well as Alcantara. The cabin of the white GLS sports a red and black design all around, and was modified at the company’s upholstery shop. Different wood inserts, carbon fiber trim and others can further enhance the revised styling of the vehicle.
The only power upgrade currently available at the tuner targets the 2.9-liter diesel powering the GLS 400d 4Matic, bumping it from 330 PS (325 HP / 243 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, to 370 PS (365 HP / 272 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft). A protein cocktail is being prepared for the GLS 580 4Matic petrol mild-hybrid model, which features a 4.0-liter V8 with 489 PS (482 HP / 360 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft), backed up by the ISG with an extra 22 PS (22 HP / 16 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft).
Finally, Brabus would take your money for the aftermarket control module for the AirMatic air suspension, which drops the body by 25 mm (1 in), while also calibrating it for the sporty wheel/tire combos.
