The new-generation Mercedes-Benz GLS, the company's flagship full size SUV, will be one of the first models to be launched in India towards the end of June 2020.

Santosh Iyer, vice president, marketing & sales, Mercedes-Benz India Limited said, "I think it's been a long time, close to four months since the GLS is not there in the market and obviously that's where there is a huge amount of interest. From our side, I think we have the kits, some of them in Pune.

The moment we start operations, I think GLS will be one of the first products that comes in. Of course, it will be end of the quarter, if things go live. It all depends on when the lockdown gets lifted.

Right now, I am not able to give a date but it is on our priority. It will be one of the first few products that we will be able to introduce into the market, the moment we start business."

It is far too expensive now.

Compared to my old GL 350, 2015 model.

The only upgrade I see is that MBUX system.

Yes expect it to be over-priced in typical MB fashion but on the other hand, this is a whole new generation and saying the only upgrade is the MBUX is underwhelming.

The interiors of my '15 GL always left me wanting more, especially when the s-class had the new MB interior layout and compared to this gen, it feels like 2015 was a whole decade ago. I like the exterior styling of my GL over the GLS though i'm sure it will grow on me.
