Mercedes GLS450 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 is Mercedes' largest and most luxurious SUV in the Saudi market — a full-size, seven-seat flagship that combines commanding road presence with genuine long-distance comfort. The 4MATIC is the single available variant, priced from SAR 562,339.

The GLS 450 is powered by a 3.0 L turbocharged engine delivering 367 bhp, routed through a 9-speed Automatic gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive. With 7 seats across three rows and standard air suspension, it is built for extended family travel on Saudi highways as much as urban use. The 4MATIC specification arrives with MBUX dual-screen infotainment, a Burmester audio system, ambient lighting, and automatic air suspension — a complete package that buyers personalise further through the options list rather than a trim ladder.

Pros: ride quality on air suspension over long inter-city stretches is exceptional — a meaningful advantage on Saudi highways. The third row is genuinely usable for adults, a distinction that separates the GLS from many rivals in the class. Cons: at SAR 562,339, the price climbs quickly once popular options are added, and fuel efficiency is competitive for its class but not segment-leading given the engine size. The size of the vehicle, while commanding, can make multi-storey parking and narrow urban streets a challenge.

Buyers cross-shopping the GLS 450 in Saudi Arabia typically also consider the BMW X7, Audi Q7, and Range Rover Sport — large premium SUVs in a comparable bracket, where the GLS leads on interior refinement and ride comfort while the Range Rover Sport appeals to buyers placing greater weight on off-road capability and brand cachet.

How much does the Mercedes GLS 450 cost in Saudi Arabia?

Only the 4MATIC reaches the Kingdom, and it costs SAR 562,339. There is no cheaper entry to the model and nothing between it and the Maybach version, so the practical comparison is downwards, against the smaller GLE — which costs meaningfully less and gives up the usable third row to do it.

Mercedes GLS 450 or BMW X7?

The GLS 450 is the better seven-seater: more third-row space, a more comfortable ride at Saudi highway speeds, and a straight-six engine smoother than anything the class offers below V8 money. The BMW X7 drives more keenly and looks more distinctive. The Audi Q7 is the value choice and easier to park.

What does a GLS 450 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?

Large-SUV money, softened by the mild-hybrid system in traffic. Tyres are the recurring cost, given the weight and wheel sizes. Juffali Automotive Company handles servicing from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, and because the six-cylinder engine is shared with the GLE and S-Class, its parts are common across the range rather than model-specific.

Does the Mercedes GLS 450 hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

Strongly for a car this size — about 51% of its value after five years, against roughly 39% for German premium SUVs in the Kingdom, which is one of the better performances in the Mercedes range. The examples reaching CarSwitch for inspection show a median of around 65,000 km, so they are used as family cars rather than commuters. Air suspension at all four corners, third-row seat operation and rear air-conditioning output are what to check on any individual car.

Is a used GLS 450 the better buy?

Worth comparing carefully, because retention this firm narrows the usual discount on a large SUV. Weigh a well-kept example on the used GLS 450 listings against a new order with full warranty before you decide.
