Mercedes-Benz India has expanded its luxury SUV portfolio with the launch of the new Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line. This fresh iteration brings a dynamic blend of luxury and performance to India’s large-size SUV segment. The new GLS AMG Line is offered in two variants: the petrol-powered GLS 450 AMG Line priced at ₹1.4 crore (ex-showroom), and the diesel-powered GLS 450d AMG Line, which comes in slightly higher at ₹1.43 crore (ex-showroom).
Positioned as a sporty and expressive version of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship luxury SUV, the GLS AMG Line carries significant AMG-inspired styling cues, sophisticated interior touches, and powerful engines, aimed at customers who seek a blend of performance and prestige.
Visually, the Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line bridges the gap between the standard GLS and the high-performance Mercedes-AMG models. The exterior benefits from distinct AMG design elements, giving the SUV a more aggressive and athletic stance.
At the front, the GLS AMG Line sports AMG-specific front aprons and large, sporty air inlets that immediately hint at its performance-oriented nature. The SUV also features body-coloured front and rear wing flares and AMG side sills, enhancing the robust and muscular look. Air outlets on the rear wings, a signature AMG rear apron with a diffuser-look insert finished in black, and a chrome trim strip add further visual drama.
A standout highlight for enthusiasts is the inclusion of perforated brake discs on the front axle and rear brake calipers bearing the “Mercedes-Benz” lettering, signifying its performance pedigree.
For those wanting an even bolder appearance, Mercedes-Benz offers the optional AMG Night Package. This package swaps the standard chrome and silver accents for blacked-out elements, including the exterior mirror housings, shoulder line trim, and window line trim strips. The roof rails also come finished in matte black, enhancing the SUV’s stealthy aesthetic. Rounding off the AMG Night Package are large 21-inch light-alloy wheels that perfectly complement the SUV’s imposing proportions.
Inside, the Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line continues its sporty theme with a cabin filled with AMG-exclusive details. The SUV features a sport steering wheel in a distinctive three-twin-spoke design, complete with black top stitching and a flat-bottom section for a more dynamic feel. The perforated leather handle area and integrated gearshift paddles underscore the car’s sporty intentions.
Adding to the premium feel are AMG sports pedals crafted in brushed stainless steel with black rubber studs, along with black floor mats embroidered with the AMG logo, providing subtle yet significant hints of the SUV’s performance DNA.

The GLS AMG Line offers impressive powertrain choices to cater to both petrol and diesel enthusiasts. The GLS 450 AMG Line is powered by a 3.0-litre, inline six-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 375 horsepower and 500 Nm of peak torque. Meanwhile, the GLS 450d AMG Line houses a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine, delivering a robust 362 horsepower but an even higher torque figure of 750 Nm.
Both engines are paired with Mercedes-Benz’s 9-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth gear changes and quick acceleration. Despite its substantial size, the GLS AMG Line impresses with its performance, capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds. The top speed for both variants is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
With the launch of the GLS AMG Line, Mercedes-Benz aims to further solidify its dominance in the premium large SUV segment in India. The new variant offers a perfect blend of sporty styling, luxury, and thrilling performance, making it an attractive proposition for buyers seeking a versatile yet dynamic SUV experience.
For customers in India looking to stand out while enjoying the ultimate in comfort and driving pleasure, the new Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line makes a compelling case as one of the most stylish and powerful luxury SUVs on the market today.
