Two tech features I'm hoping MB supports in the new X167 is wireless charging and wireless CarPlay. The new BMW M5 supports both. Check out this video, it's an iPhone X review but skip to 15:00 to see what I'm talking about:

A gaggle of MB's
Wireless Qi charging yes - wireless CarPlay not known yet. Apple has really always played a heavy hand with Mercedes on integration from the start... hasn't ever been chummy..

Gosh I hope you’re wrong on wireless CarPlay. Specially since BMW already has it on a couple of models.
Thanks for all the insight. Pls keep’em coming!

Here's to hoping that the fantastic new G-class interior will make its debut in the redesigned GLS with the dual large screens!

I think it's horrendous, and I don't understand people's fascination with a videogame machine in what is supposed to be the ultimate go everywhere tool. If a bit falls over or a screen cracks when you're out there you're completely in the dark. It's ****e.

OK so I'm definitely not an artist and have no Photoshop skills but I wanted to see the new GLS in color and this was the best I could do. What do you think (no not about my artist skills).

Hate to break this to you, but all modern vehicles are computer controlled.
Now sure how the screen would get cracked. Does that happen to you often? If so, this is not the vehicle for you.

I love the new look.You don't. We can agree to disagree. If everyone liked the same things the world would be a very boring place.

Is there any update as to when MY19 GLS production will start?

I currently have a 2010 GL450 and really need to get a new model this year.Is production definitely going to start this year for the new MY19 GLS model?

If the new 2019 G is any indication (just unveiled at the DAS) they should be available late summer.

On Edit: Mmm... Take this with a grain of salt. I would have assumed they would have something to show at the DAS just like they did with the G, which the MB rep said late summer availability for that model. Not sure about the GLS though. One can only hope.

Cheers.

I do not have high hopes for the MY19 GLS to be the all new model. The new G-wagon was just shown at the Detroit show. Also, in the past few years, the GLE came to market one model year before the GLS and we still have not even seen that yet. My guess, and again, this is just me, it that hopefully by the New York show, we will see the new GLE and those will hit the ground later this year. Followed by the GLS being unveiled at a show around this time next year.

Based on what fabbrisd1 has said it looks like MY19 production will definitely start this year.Maybe Mercedes decided to release the new GLS a year earlier than they normally would because the new BMW X7 is being released this fall.

I hope they bring back the WIDE fenders like they had up to 2012. That really made the truck look much meaner and impressive looking.

This is what I have to think of when I see these big wheel wells!

That's what the current GL550 looks like with the added fenders onto the already flat body... I'm talking about what just about every mercedes had before the newer refreshed models came out only 2-3 years ago.

One of the last models to have that wider look was the CLS, which many still say is one of the nicest looking, least ageless models.

No, the CLS does not have that look.



They should never have put that on the old S-Class and it turns the new Audi Q7 from a station wagon into an ugly station wagon

I'm talking about how it's done. The CLS has wide fenders but there is a clean line that looks classy. When you look at that Passat picture it looks like they extended 2- 3 inches just around the wheel cutout and that looks cheap.

I believe that’s the 2019 mod year, not 2020...
