The GLS500 carries the twin-turbo V8 in Mercedes' first-generation full-size SUV, badged GLS from 2016 when Mercedes renamed the outgoing GL-Class, before the current X167 generation arrived in 2020. In Saudi Arabia it is the older, cheaper way into three-row V8 Mercedes ownership.
How much does a used Mercedes GLS500 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Our listings are 2017-era cars, priced from SAR 95400 to SAR 99000 depending on condition and how well the V8 has been maintained.
Which used Mercedes GLS500 year should you buy?
2017 sits mid-way through the short GLS badge run on this platform, which lasted from 2016 to 2019 before the all-new X167 GLS replaced it. There is no earlier or later version of this exact car worth chasing — buy on service history rather than the specific year within that window.
How long does a Mercedes GLS500 last?
Well past the point most buyers worry about, if the V8 has been looked after. The cars we inspect come in at a median of around 180,000 km and are still on the road, which is a normal outcome for this engine rather than an exceptional one. Air suspension and cooling system upkeep matter more here than the mileage figure itself.
Anything else worth knowing about the Mercedes GLS500?
The Chevrolet Tahoe costs similar money with a simpler, cheaper-to-run V8. A GMC Yukon undercuts it for buyers who want size over badge. Within the Mercedes range, the GLC250 is the far cheaper, smaller alternative if three rows are not a requirement.
What to look over on a used Mercedes GLS500
At this age and mileage, the CarSwitch inspection report is what separates a properly maintained V8 from one that has simply kept running.
