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.

Affluent consumers gain expanded choice in the luxury three-row SUV segment with new base GLS450 option ($181,900) and ultra-premium Maybach variant ($424,900). Pre-order incentives (complimentary 3-year service) reduce ownership costs for early adopters. However, pricing remains accessible only to high-income households, with on-road costs adding significant expense.
Potential regulatory focus on emissions standards given 48V mild-hybrid technology adoption and diesel option availability. Import tariffs and luxury goods taxation may influence final pricing. Fuel efficiency claims warrant monitoring for accuracy in advertising compliance.
