Question HUD as a special package on GLS550?

Is it possible to add an HUD, for example, as a special feature that's not normally available for GLS? When I custom ordered ML a few years ago there were special packages available like night camera, etc... Thank you.

HUD is not available on the GLS in the USA. I think it is only available in Europe. Hopefully the next full redesign will include a HUD option here in the USA.

Are there any special packages or extra options available other than the ones you can put on GLS when you build it online?

The online build options are generally accurate but ask you dealer to be sure.

i second that...spent the weekend driving an escalade ext which was awesome in many respects, one of which was the HUD. the others being the build quality, the space of course, the nice interior...and those awesome captains chairs.

dynamically of course my gls felt like a bmw M2 after i got back into it after the weekend was done in the caddy.
