How we verify Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class performance FAQs

6 questions

The quickest Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class on record is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS580 4MATIC (AMG Night) , which runs 0–60 mph in 4.1 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.80 seconds at 106.8 mph.

The slowest recorded Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS450 4MATIC, which takes 5.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 14.30 seconds in the quarter.

We have verified test data for 4 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.

Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.
