Canadian guy - CONGRATS !!!! As an owner of a MY18 GLS450 I am very interested to hear your comparisons with the MY20 ... ? 580 or 450. Thanks, Steve

Looks fantastic. Are those all season tires? I did not order 22's on mine as they order guide states summer only tires. Where do you live? I am in South Western Ontario and can't get prices and up to date order guide on my 580 GLS yet but you have presumable paid for this already? Did you get the Intelligent Drive Package and or the Technology Package?

Beautiful! Is that Black or Obsidian Black? What choices did you make for the interior? What size are the wheels? Very jealous, we're waiting for notice that we have a VIN for ours. We're in the States and no deliveries yet here as we're told, but because we ordered early, we're a high priority, again so our dealership tells us, with delivery in October.

GLS450
Hey guys. Thanks for all the interest. It's a gls450 with sport package, which makes it appear very similar to the 580. The wheels are 22" front and back, with 285s up front and 325s in rear. The 22" and 23" wheel upgrades both come with summers, and the worst part is there is no all season or winter rubber to fit the rear wheels, so have to purchase a winter set. Had I known the 22s were coming with summers (forcing me to purchase a winter set), I would have optioned the 23s. Oh the downfalls of being the first build... none the we're very happy with the vehicle, and will need the winter set for the 63 that we are first in line for when they roll off the line next year. Colour is obsidian black, on black. I've attached the options from bill of sale, but we did premium, sport, intelligent, 22s, those are the important ones imo. We also did the 2nd row captains, and it works great with 3 young kids. Couple
downsides. We built our 2018 gls450 identical and it came with massage seats up front, this one doesnt have it! Apparently we had to option a "comfort package". Also the burmester doesnt have as good of bass as the standard Harmon kardon in the 2018. And last, but not least, the vents cant be pointed directly at the driver! The angle they stop at doesnt hit me. Other than those couple things, its a huge upgrade over the previous gen. Will take and post some more pics tomorrow.

Interesting that they offer a Sport package that gets the look close to a 580. Not happening in the US market it seems unfortunately.
Nice that you got it so soon, since the Canadian website still says this is a 'coming soon' future vehicle!

The previous generation GL/GLS had that option in some countries too. But for some odd reason never in the US.

Canadian GLS580 pricing and restrictions
We finally got our Canadian option pricing. Restrictions are very unusual especially the one that forces ALL Canadian GLS580 to come with SUMMER ONLY PERFORMANCE TIRES! They are restricted to the RPA 22 inch non black wheels and the RPQ 23 inch only. The kicker is they do not make All Season Tires for those wheels anywhere.

MB of Tampa inventory
Saw a new video on youtube today posted by MB of Tampa and noticed the headlights looks different on their GLS450 vs what all the press videos have shown. Went to their site and noticed they list 7 2020 GLS450's in stock (no pictures) with 5 of them showing MSRP of $73,975 which is about $2k lower than the $76,195 in the DOG.
I wonder if the first batch has some equipment removed (Such as the matrix LED headlights that are supposed to be standard), thus have a lower MSRP.

All 7 of them have VIN # and Stock # so I'm guessing they are either in transit to the dealer or already there.

I have heard that some of the early production units for dealer stock are missing some items that are supposed to be standard in the US, including the upgraded headlamps. The missing equipment will be reflected as a credit option on the window sticker.

Stock headlights without the LED intelligent lighting package. Default in Europe. I am sure this will show as a credit as mentioned.

I’m pretty sure that U09 was a mandatory add when I selected the Magma leather interior, because I wouldn’t have ordered it otherwise. Based on that, I’d say the answer to your question is no, the lower dash is not covered with leather.
