Mercedes-Benz India has added a new flagship to its SUV lineup with the launch of the GLS AMG Line, priced from ₹1.40 crore to ₹1.43 crore (ex-showroom). Available in two variants — GLS 450 AMG Line (petrol) and GLS 450d AMG Line (diesel) — this premium SUV brings a fresh combination of G-Class inspired design, AMG styling, and high-performance engines to the Indian market.
Let’s dive into what makes this massive luxury SUV stand out and why it could be one of the most desirable models for 2025.
GLS AMG Line: Mercedes’ Bestselling Full-Size SUV Gets a Sporty Touch
With over 16,000 units of the GLS sold in India, Mercedes-Benz already had a solid foothold in the large luxury SUV segment. Now, the new AMG Line gives it a bold, athletic upgrade.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary G-Class, the GLS AMG Line features:
- An AMG-specific front apron with sporty air inlets
- Body-colored front and rear wing flares
- AMG side sill panels that extend its road-hugging stance
- A rear diffuser-look apron in gloss black with a chrome strip
- Optional AMG Night Package with matte black roof rails, dark chrome grille, and 21-inch AMG alloy wheels
It’s still every bit a GLS — but with added flair that’s impossible to ignore.
A Cabin Built for Luxury and Performance
Step inside, and the AMG touches continue. The cabin is a blend of plush materials, sporty accents, and cutting-edge tech.
Interior highlights include:
- Multifunction AMG steering wheel wrapped in nappa leather
- Brushed stainless steel AMG pedals with rubber studs
- Perforated disc brakes up front with “Mercedes-Benz” branding on the calipers
- Gearshift paddles, touch-sensitive control panels, and steering trim in silver chrome
- Black floor mats with AMG branding and premium ambient lighting
Buyers also get advanced connectivity, driver assistance features, and comfort tech that befits the Mercedes-Benz badge.
Two Powertrains: Petrol and Diesel Options
Mercedes is offering the GLS AMG Line in both petrol and diesel versions, each powered by a mighty 3.0L six-cylinder engine paired with 9-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission.
Here’s the power breakdown:
- GLS 450 AMG Line (Petrol)
- Power: 375 bhp
- Torque: 500 Nm
- 0–100 km/h: 6.1 seconds
- GLS 450d AMG Line (Diesel)
- Power: 362 bhp
- Torque: 750 Nm
- 0–100 km/h: 6.1 seconds
Both variants come with 4MATIC all-wheel drive and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
Strong Start to FY25-26 for Mercedes-Benz India
Alongside the launch, Mercedes-Benz India also announced its best-ever quarterly sales performance in Q1 FY25-26. The company sold 4,238 units during the April to June period, marking a 10% year-on-year growth.
This strong performance is driven by demand in the top-end luxury segment, which includes models like the GLS, GLE, and S-Class. With the new GLS AMG Line joining the lineup, that momentum is likely to continue.
AMG Night Package: Darker, Bolder, Better
For buyers looking for even more road presence, Mercedes is offering the optional AMG Night Package. It includes:
- 21-inch AMG alloy wheels
- 4-slat radiator grille in dark chrome
- Trim inserts on front and rear aprons in gloss black
- Matte black roof rails
This package is designed for those who want their SUV to look as aggressive as it drives.
