In the upper reaches of the luxury SUV market, Mercedes-Benz has drawn a new map of desire — from $181,900 to $424,900 — with the refreshed 2027 GLS lineup now open for order in Australia. The range spans from a returning turbocharged inline-six base model to a Maybach flagship that offers champagne flutes and refrigerated compartments as standard equipment. It is a moment that reveals not merely what a vehicle can cost, but what a culture is willing to assign value to, as deliveries begin rolling out from November 2026 into early 2027.
