The new Mercedes Benz GLS SUV has been leaked through official photos from the brochure prior to its debut at the upcoming LA Motor Show. The GLS is the facelifted version of the GL which now gets Mercedes’ new nomenclature.

The exterior gets styling updates in tune with the company’s new design language. There are new front and rear bumpers, a larger twin slat front grille along with new headlamps and tail lamps and new design alloy wheels. Changes to the interior are expected to be along the lines of the GLE.

The engine line up is expected to consist of the 3.0 litre diesel V6 good for 254 bhp 350d, a plug in hybrid 500e and a range topping GLS63 with a 5.5 litre twin turbo V8 developing 577 bhp.
