If that's not possible on the GLS I'm not so sure if there is a benefit. We really just want a much better alternative than a minivan...
it's about an 8" gap between captains chairs, however, the arm rests are not removable so they occupy some of that space. If you point them straight down, you can step over the armrests pretty easily.

Mercedes site with some info of the x167

It will come with a V8 with cylinder shut down and EQ-boost called GLS 580 4-Matic.

no 450 with i6, hope that is wrong...

I tried Chrome and Safari and can't get it to display anything, just boxes with question marks.
Maybe because I am in the us?
In any case, engine choices are certainly country specific, ie, no diesels here in the US.

Same result though some of the videos work if you click through. Also same comment - I'd expect US to get the new M256 I6 in the 450. That new gen V8 sounds awesome though based off the V8 M176/7/8 series, presumably, now with cylinder shut off and EQ boost? Heck yeah!

Awesome info!

Hope all that is standard in Canada also will be standard in Sweden.

AWESOME, thanks.
I wonder what adaptive system damping PLUS includes? I have active curve on my 2014 Gl and it corners like a 911, flat.
I was hoping that some type of active roll stabilization would be optional.

Have your CA given you any indication of how much more money the new GLS450 will cost over the new GLE450?

I talked to him today and he said all they have is the ordering guide.There hasn't been any pricing released yet.He also said they haven't released any info on what the exterior or interior colors are going to be.He said production will probably start in May or June.

They are taking orders now with the options you want and then they will let you know when they get pricing and colors.That is when the actual order will go into the ordering system.He also said they don't have any info on when the new GLS 550 will be released.

Ok saw the prototype today near the plant and only camo is around the head and taillights. I’m gonna try to get pics later today when I have a better chance of seeing it parked.

Thanks so much, it does answer an important question for me. Active body control IS available! The Active Curve System on my GL is amazing.
All the text is in English but no images are available.

My buddy at the factory says they have started building production models. The only camo on any prototypes is just the head and tail lights. Will try to get pics this week if I see one running around

I hope it goes better also. I’m waiting for the 63. Hope it’s not a year later like the GLE. With the S class it came out around the same time.

it Will have 60 mm longer wheelbase and the three fully electrically adjustable seat rows offer all passengers a generous amount of space and outstanding seating comfort.
