Summer vacations are the perfect opportunity to explore the roads of Quebec, discover breathtaking scenery, and create lasting memories with your family. To make the most of every journey, it's important to choose a vehicle that combines comfort, space, safety, and performance. That's exactly what the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLS delivers.
The team at Mercedes-Benz Rive-Sud invites you to discover why this full-size luxury SUV is an outstanding choice for families looking to travel with confidence and without compromise this summer.
A Cabin Designed for the Whole Family
While passenger and cargo space are important every day, they become even more essential when you're heading out on a long road trip.
With three rows of seating for up to seven passengers, the GLS offers 355 litres of cargo space behind the third row, 1,350 litres with the third row folded, and up to 2,400 litres when the second row is also folded down. A six-passenger configuration with second-row captain's chairs is also available.
In addition, the Mercedes-Benz GLS offers a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds and comes standard with Trailer Stability Assist. This provides enough capability to tow a boat, travel trailer, or utility trailer with confidence.
Exceptional Comfort on Every Road
The Mercedes-Benz GLS delivers an exceptional level of comfort, transforming every drive into a relaxing experience. Its adaptive AIRMATIC air suspension plays a key role in absorbing bumps and uneven road surfaces. In addition to providing a smooth ride, it helps passengers stay comfortable and relaxed during long journeys.
The GLS also features advanced technology, including the MBUX infotainment system, which provides easy access to navigation, music, and vehicle functions through a high-resolution touchscreen and intelligent voice control.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility make it easy to access your favourite apps, while multiple USB ports allow everyone on board to keep their devices charged throughout the trip.
Depending on the model, the GLS can also be equipped with a Head-Up Display, a premium Burmester sound system, and a range of additional comfort features designed to make every journey even more enjoyable.
Safety for the Entire Family
When travelling with your family, peace of mind is essential. The Mercedes-Benz GLS comes standard with a wide range of driver assistance technologies, including Active Brake Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST driver fatigue monitoring, Blind Spot Assist, Traffic Sign Assist, Active Parking Assist with a 360-degree camera, and Crosswind Assist.
Available options include even more advanced technologies, such as DISTRONIC adaptive cruise control and additional semi-autonomous driving assistance systems that help make every journey safer and more relaxing.
