Mercedes GLS-Class 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

At 5,207 mm the GLS is the largest SUV Mercedes builds, and in Saudi Arabia it does two jobs at once: a seven-seat family car at one end of the price list and a four-seat Maybach limousine at the other. Very few model ranges anywhere stretch this far. The GLS has been in this form since 2019 and was facelifted in 2023.

Work out how many seats you actually need, then compare against the used GLS listings.

How much does the Mercedes GLS cost in Saudi Arabia?

The gap between the two rungs is the story. SAR 562,339 buys the six-cylinder 4MATIC family car; SAR 1,411,915 buys the Maybach, which is a different vehicle in intent — V8 power, four individual seats and a rear cabin built to be sat in rather than loaded. Nothing occupies the middle.

Which GLS trim is the one to buy?

The six-cylinder car, unless you are specifically shopping for a chauffeur-driven vehicle. It seats 7, uses a 3.0 L engine with 367 bhp that never feels strained, and does everything a large family needs. The Maybach costs more than twice as much and removes three seats to do it.

Mercedes GLS or BMW X7?

The GLS is the more imposing of the two and the better third row by a clear margin — adults fit properly, which is not true of most rivals. Its ride at speed is also the more settled. The BMW X7 is more engaging to drive and has the more interesting interior design, while the Audi Q7 costs considerably less for similar space.

What does a GLS cost to run in Saudi Arabia?

Substantial but predictable on the six-cylinder car; open-ended on the Maybach, where tyres, brakes and fuel all scale with the V8. Juffali Automotive Company services both from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Air suspension is the component to watch on any large Mercedes SUV as it ages — it is the repair that catches out second owners.
