GLS 2024 release timing and changes vs 2023?
Hello MB World,
After lot of research and test driving several comparable brands/models, I have decided to buy the GLS 450. However I need your wisdom to decide whether to buy now or wait till the 2024 model comes out. We know the current model is due for a full/mid cycle refresh. Ideally I would want to buy the car by early summer 23 but could wait a few months if the 2024 model is being significantly refreshed. Any chatter on what the 2024 model feature changes are and timing when it will hit the dealerships.
Please advise.

I would imagine we would see similar tweaks to what we see in the GLE...new lights and fascia, inside the upgraded MBUX with the more fullscreen CarPlay and the new steering wheels.

Here is the main thread on the 2024 GLE release and the ordering guide for the GLE. Expec the changes to the 2024 GLS to be extremely similar... updated infotainment software including wirleess smartphone integration with more of a widescreen look, new steering wheels, updated bumpers and lights, updated trim structure with slightly less customization but possibly lower overall prices for well equipped models, some additional standard features, etc. Really won't be a huge change. Then decide if those updates look nice (without exactly knowing styling), or if you dislike the new steering wheels and way of packaging items, in which case maybe try to snag a 2023.
