A Powerhouse Under the Hood
At the heart of the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS lies the 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with a hybrid electric assist.

Intelligent Efficiency with ECO-START®/STOP
The 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS is designed to be as efficient as powerful. Its ECO-START®/STOP system enhances fuel economy by shutting off the engine during idle moments, such as at stoplights. As soon as the brake is released, the engine restarts smoothly and instantly, thanks to the Integrated Starter-Generator. For those who prefer uninterrupted engine operation, the system can be manually deactivated, offering flexibility without compromising performance.

Dynamic Handling with Advanced 4MATIC®
The advanced 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system takes versatility to the next level. It dynamically distributes torque between the front and rear axles, adapting to real-time road conditions. This intelligent system ensures optimal traction and handling when driving on slippery surfaces, challenging off-road terrains, or tight corners.
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL for Superior Comfort
With its innovative E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension system, this SUV scans the road ahead and independently adjusts spring rates, damping, and leveling for each wheel. 48-volt electronics support the system and minimize body lean, pitch, and dive while delivering superior passenger comfort. It can even lean into curves for enhanced stability and assist in freeing the vehicle from sand by rapidly pumping the suspension.
Confidence in Any Situation
For off-road enthusiasts, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS features Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR), which automatically maintains a preset speed when descending steep inclines. Drivers can set the desired speed between 1 and 11 mph using the cruise control stalk.
Thoughtful Innovations for Everyday Convenience
Beyond performance, the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS offers features that make everyday driving easier. A dedicated Carwash Mode simplifies car cleaning by raising the suspension, retracting running boards, suspending rain-sensing wipers, and activating climate recirculation. It even engages the front camera to assist in entering the carwash. These thoughtful touches enhance convenience while protecting your luxury SUV.
Precision Gear Shifting with 9-Speed Automatic Transmission
The 9-speed automatic transmission in the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach GLS delivers smoother and quicker gear changes, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency. Its DYNAMIC SELECT system allows drivers to tailor the transmission’s behavior, ensuring that every drive perfectly suits their preferences.
