Power for GL 350 models still comes from a 3.0 litre six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing 190kW and 620Nm, while the petrol-powered GL 500 gets a 320kW/700Nm 4.7 litre V8. The AMG model is powered by a 5.5 litre petrol V8 making 410kW and 760Nm. All models feature all-wheel-drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission.

We drove the full GLS lineup through Colorado's red rock canyons and Arches National Park in Utah, cycling through the models in ascending order. The GLS350d 4Matic is the base model, with a 3.0-liter V-6 turbodiesel generating 255 horsepower (up 15) and 457 lb-ft of torque. It is the sleeper鈥擬ercedes never advertises its diesel in the U.S. 鈥攖o the tune of about 15 percent of GLS sales. All trim levels have standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, and all but the AMG have Mercedes' new 9-speed automatic transmission which improves fuel economy about 5 percent. Also new for the lineup is Dynamic Select, offering up to six transmission modes. Switching to Sport lowers the suspension, tightens the steering, and increases throttle response. Go into the settings on the infotainment screen to mix and match your preferences: want comfort steering but a stiffer sport suspension? Done. And there are graphics to illustrate how the vehicle is set and how it is performing.

Move up to the GLS450 4Matic and you get the 3.0-liter V-6 twin-turbo gasoline engine instead of a V-8. There is no compromise here: 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This is the most popular model, accounting for about half of GLS sales. The beauty of the GLS is that regardless of what is under the hood, this seven-passenger vehicle does not feel big or lumbering even on twisting roads. Part of that is courtesy of the "active curve system" to control body roll. And the new computer-controlled air suspension slurps up any irregularities the pavement has to offer. All choices offer enough power鈥攂ut your definition of "enough" can vary. If you can afford the step up to the GLS550 with a 4.7-liter V-8 twin-turbo gasoline engine, you will appreciate the 449 hp (up 20) and keep grinning with 516 lb-ft of torque at your disposal. The SUV hits 120 mph effortlessly without feeling like it is going fast. If you want to be the big dog on your block, the AMG GLS63 stuffs a 5.5-liter V-8 twin-turbo engine under the hood. It harnesses 577 hp (up 27 hp) and 561 lb-ft of torque through a 7-speed automatic transmission and can hit 60 mph in a claimed 4.5 seconds in a 5,750-pound, seven-passenger SUV. When we track-tested a 2013 GL63 AMG, the 550-hp SUV hit 60 in 4.7 seconds. Downshift for the most delicious burps and burbles. It helps you ignore EPA fuel economy figures of 13/17 mpg city/hwy for a combined 14 mpg. 126,880 with a few extra goodies including second-row sunshades, trailer hitch, and heated/cooled cupholders. Will there be a GLS65 in the future? Still to be determined, Herring says. And at this point there are no plans for a GLS coupe.
