Mercedes-Benz India has introduced the new AMG Line variants of its flagship GLS SUV, with the petrol version priced at ₹1.40 crore and the diesel at ₹1.43 crore (ex-showroom). Positioned between the standard GLS and full-performance AMG models, these new trims bring aggressive styling and interior enhancements from Mercedes’ performance division at a premium of ₹1-3 lakh over regular variants.
The GLS AMG Line makes a visual statement with sportier front and rear bumper designs, distinctive AMG side skirts, and standard 21-inch AMG alloy wheels. The comprehensive Night Package adds blacked-out exterior elements including roof rails, grille inserts, and trim pieces for a more menacing look. Inside, drivers find AMG-branded floor mats, stainless steel sports pedals, and a Nappa leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel that elevate the cabin’s sporty character.

Under the hood, both variants retain the GLS’s proven powertrains. The GLS 450 AMG Line petrol packs a 3.0-litre inline-6 turbo producing 375bhp and 50.98 kgm, while the GLS 450d AMG Line diesel delivers 362bhp and a substantial 76.47 kgm from its 3.0-litre turbo-diesel unit. Both versions come paired with Mercedes’ smooth-shifting 9G-Tronic automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, capable of sprinting from 0-100kph in 6.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250kph.
This strategic launch strengthens Mercedes’ position in India’s ultra-luxury SUV segment where the GLS already dominates. The AMG Line package offers affluent buyers more distinctive styling at a relatively modest premium while maintaining the model’s renowned comfort and technology. Standard features include the advanced MBUX infotainment system with dual 12.3-inch screens, four-zone climate control, AIRMATIC air suspension, and a suite of driver assistance systems.
Available for immediate booking across Mercedes-Benz dealerships, the GLS AMG Line caters to younger, style-conscious luxury buyers seeking performance-inspired design without compromising the three-row practicality that makes the GLS so popular among India’s one per cent tier.
