Model Features

• MBUX Superscreen: A 56-inch hyperscreen dashboard spanning the width of the cabin, with augmented reality navigation built in for intuitive guidance on any route.
• Burmester 4D Audio System: A full Burmester surround sound setup that treats every seat in the cabin as a listening position worth caring about.
• Massaging Multi-Contour Seats: Front seats with multi-contour massage function, designed to dissolve fatigue on longer drives such as the Kasauli weekend climb.
• Rear Entertainment Screens: Dedicated rear screens that make the GLS's executive cabin genuinely competitive with private aviation standards.

Big Boy Toyz provides used Mercedes-Benz GLS cars with certified documentation, thorough inspection, and the complete trust that every serious buyer deserves.

Variants

The GLS range covers a wide spread of intent, from the accomplished petrol flagship to the summit of Mercedes production SUV luxury. Understanding which variant suits your priorities makes the choice significantly clearer.

• GLS 450 4MATIC: The petrol flagship of the range, powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six producing between 375 and 430hp, with 4MATIC all-wheel drive and a 0-100 kmph time of 6.9 seconds depending on specification.
• GLS 450d 4MATIC: The diesel leader of the lineup, also running a 3.0-litre inline-six in diesel form, offering the same output bracket with stronger real-world fuel returns of 11-12 kmpl and the torque character that long highway runs reward.
• Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC: The absolute pinnacle of the GLS family. A 4.0-litre V8 producing 550hp, Maybach-inspired rear executive seats, and a 0-100 kmph sprint in 5.3 seconds place this firmly at the top of any production SUV conversation.

All three variants are available through Big Boy Toyz in Chandigarh as certified pre-owned units, giving buyers across different budgets access to GLS ownership with full peace of mind.

Colours

Mercedes-Benz has always treated exterior colour as an extension of the vehicle's character, and the GLS range reflects that philosophy with a palette that suits everything from understated authority to bold personal expression.

• Selenite Grey
• High-Tech Silver
• Sodalite Blue
• Polar White
• Obsidian Black
• Emerald Green

Each of these finishes carries the premium paint quality that Mercedes-Benz is known for, and when paired with the GLS's interior colour and trim options, the result is a cabin that feels as considered as any bespoke executive lounge.

Fuel Efficiency and Mileage

The GLS family spans three distinct powertrain characters, and each returns figures worth knowing before you choose your variant. The 3.0-litre petrol inline-six delivers 11 kmpl in mixed driving conditions. The 3.0-litre diesel is the most efficient of the three, returning 11-12 kmpl and making it the natural choice if your ownership involves regular runs on the Shimla highway or longer inter-city travel from Chandigarh. The 4.0-litre V8 in the Maybach GLS 600 averages 8.5 kmpl, a figure that reflects its performance priorities honestly. For a vehicle of this size and capability, all three numbers represent a reasonable cost of entry into flagship SUV territory.

Design and Comfort

The GLS wears its exterior very proudly, as it is purpose-built to command a large presence on the road, with a length of 5207 mm. There is no SUV more flagship than this, The X167 generation, is most massive in its class. The tall upright grille, muscular haunches, and 22-inch road-commanding wheels, give it an immediate road presence on Chandigarhs wide grid will roads. The suspensions air-ride Airmatic keeps ride height without adding to its ungainly qualities at high-speed. When the GLS is designed it was considered that every one of its seven seats should be genuinely comfortable, and it shows. The front seats are multi-contour massaging seats that come with the Maybach-style executive rears for the higher-spec variants, which are designed for long distance travel, so you are covered heading up to Kasauli or on that daily between Chandigarh and Delhi grind. Imperfections in the road are not felt in the cabin and the suspensions active counter-measures provide a peaceful ride. The cabin insulation is extremely effective at keeping the tarmac road noise suppressed. Fully reclining seats and a class rare 550-litre boot with all seven seats up is a practical rarity in this segment. And with that, the GLS is one of the few vehicles in its class that provides a un-compromised comfort across dimensions for all occupants.

Performance & Engine

The GLS lineup offers three different ways of providing power and performance depending on what is most important for that model. Starting with the GLS 450 petrol and GLS 450d diesel, each powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six, delivering between 375-430hp across the board. All models come with a 9-speed automatic transmission with 4MATIC awd. The petrol version is the slowest, with a 0-100 kmph time of 6.9 seconds, which feels pretty quick for a vehicle with this level of luxury. At the top is the Maybach GLS 600 which has a 4.0-litre V8, producing 550hp and allowing it to also do 0-100 in 5.3 seconds. Those times are usually reserved for sport sedans, not full size seven passenger SUVs. The mild hybrid system is used to add simplicity to the powertrain and increases the smoothness of the power delivery. The most interesting part of the GLS's performance is how it is accomplished. The inline-six's have overshoot power for passing on the highway and the Maybach V8 has that effortless power to make very long drives actually feel shorter. The 4MATIC system provides smooth and confident power across all surfaces and all four wheels. Whether on the smooth roads of Chandigarh's sector or on a rough road outside the city limits, you can expect the GLS to respond and perform as needed. The combination of power and confidence on all surfaces is what makes this a flagship SUV compared to the rest in the segment.

Interior & Technology

The GLS cabin is built around a technology architecture that prioritises clarity and immersion in equal measure. The 56-inch MBUX Superscreen stretches across the dashboard in a single seamless panel, integrating the driver display, the central touchscreen and the front passenger screen into one continuous surface. Augmented reality navigation overlays directional guidance onto a live camera feed of the road ahead, making it genuinely easier to follow directions in unfamiliar cities or on multi-lane highway interchanges. The Energizing Air Control Plus system manages cabin air quality and fragrance alongside ambient lighting and seat settings, creating an environment that adjusts to the mood of the journey rather than staying static. Rear passengers in higher-spec units get dedicated rear entertainment screens, turning the second and third rows into a space that competes with what a private cabin offers. The Burmester 4D audio system uses resonators built into the seats alongside conventional speakers to deliver sound that you feel as much as hear. Every surface and every interface in the GLS has been developed to the standard that the S-Class set, then scaled up to accommodate seven people without diluting the experience for any of them.

Safety Features

The Mercedes-Benz GLS is engineered to protect every occupant with a comprehensive suite of active and passive safety technologies, making it one of the most secure flagship SUVs you can buy in Chandigarh today.

• 10 Airbags: Full-cabin airbag coverage ensuring protection for all three rows of occupants.
• PRE-SAFE Impulse Side: Proactively moves front occupants away from the point of impact before a side collision occurs.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Flagship Space and Comfort: Seven fully reclining seats, a 550-litre boot, and Maybach-inspired rear executive seats make long drives to Shimla feel effortless for the whole family.
• Commanding Road Presence: At 5,207mm in length riding on 22-inch wheels, the GLS dominates Chandigarh's wide sector roads with unmistakable authority.
• Advanced Technology Suite: The 56-inch MBUX Superscreen, augmented reality navigation, Burmester 4D audio, and Energizing Air Control Plus put you inside one of the most tech-forward cabins available.
• Strong Value Retention: Pre-owned 2020-2025 units retain approximately 80 per cent of their value, making the GLS one of the smarter financial decisions in the flagship SUV segment.
• Exceptional Performance: From the inline-six to the 550 hp Maybach V8, every variant delivers effortless power whether you are cruising the Chandigarh-Kasauli road or accelerating on a national highway.

Cons:

• Urban Bulk: The GLS's 5.2-metre length requires a real adjustment when navigating tight parking lots or congested inner-sector lanes in Chandigarh.
• V8 Fuel Costs: The 4.0L V8 averages just 8.5 kmpl, which translates to noticeably high running costs if you use the Maybach GLS 600 as a daily driver.
• Expensive Spare Parts: As a flagship-category vehicle, maintenance and genuine parts carry a premium price, and specialist servicing is required to keep the GLS in top condition.
• Higher Insurance Outlay: The high on-road value of the GLS means comprehensive insurance premiums are significantly higher than those for mid-size luxury SUVs.

Why Buying Used Is Smart

Purchasing a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz GLS is an intelligent choice in the full-size luxury SUV market. With a new GLS being subjected to a 25 to 30 percent drop in value just after driving off the dealer's lot, buying pre-owned from Big Boy Toyz means that steep first-year depreciation has already been factored in. Big Boy Toyz offers used GLS models from 2020-2025 between ₹1.2 crore and ₹2.5 crore, which means you can own a Maybach-trimmed, seven-seat flagship SUV for a fraction of its original cost. Between certified pre-owned sale channels, the GLS has an approximate 80 percent depreciation value retention rate. That means your investment is secure regardless of whether you choose to keep it long-term or shortly upgrade and is one of the best values for resale in its class. Purchasing a used Mercedes-Benz GLS from Big Boy Toyz in Chandigarh is more than buying a car because it comes with a verified ownership experience. Big Boy Toyz certified inspections means that E-Active Body Control and Airmatic suspension, 4MATIC drivetrain fluid, and MBUX Superscreen are all inspected along with third row seat mechanics. Additionally, all vehicles are listed with verified service and history stamps. After sales support is also provided for BBT Chandigarh buyers whether they are on a weekend trip to Kasauli or are headed to Delhi on a long-haul drive. BBT is the only choice to buy your GLS because no other pre-owned luxury platform offers the same level of certification, transparency, and local support in India.
