The GLS flagship SUV is currently in its third generation, initially introduced in 2020. While mid-cycle refreshes typically take place around the fourth year of production, Mercedes appears to be playing it slow this time. However, spy shots of a prototype have already emerged, providing a glimpse of what the updated version might look like.

As expected, the Mercedes GLS will be getting a fresh look, new software, and equipment changes. The teaser image hides the changes expected up front, though the front lights are still similar to the ones present in the outgoing model. Those were the only things shared by the automaker – things that will be standard in the entire GLS range. From what we can see in the spy photos, the exterior of the SUV doesn't appear to have undergone any significant changes.
Although details of the oily bits are yet to surface, much of the changes are expected in the cabin. It is not expected that there will be groundbreaking changes in that department, though. Recent sightings of the hotter AMG 63 version have its rear section covered in snow and ice, making it difficult to discern any alterations. However, there are hints that there could be an LED strip underneath the camouflage foil that connects the taillights.
