The 2020 Mercedes GLS 400d is a luxury full-size SUV designed for buyers who want space, performance, and premium comforts all in one package. With seating for seven and plenty of advanced features, it’s well suited for Kenyan families, executives, or anyone looking for a status SUV that can handle both city roads and long highway drives.
Under the bonnet, the GLS 400d is powered by a 3.0-litre straight-six turbo diesel engine that delivers around 330 PS (≈ 243 kW) and 700 Nm of torque. It uses a nine-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive (4MATIC), which give the SUV strong pulling power and stability—useful when navigating steep inclines or towing loads. The vehicle also has air suspension for a smoother ride over rough patches or speed bumps.
Inside, the cabin is very spacious and extremely well-appointed. Leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, a panoramic roof, and high quality sound systems are often included. The GLS comes with a modern infotainment suite (MBUX displays), multiple USB ports, wireless charging, and advanced features like power soft-close doors. Third-row seating is usable, making the vehicle flexible for up to seven passengers.
On safety, the GLS 400d includes a broad suite of active and passive systems. Expect many airbags (front, side, curtain), stability and traction control systems, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera with parking sensors. Systems like Mercedes’ PRE-SAFE help prepare occupants for collisions by tightening belts and adjusting seats before impact.
