Mercedes GLS580 2026 Price in UAE

Swap the six for a 4.0-litre V8 with mild-hybrid assistance and the GLS becomes effortless in a way the 450 only approaches. It also holds its value better than almost anything else in the Mercedes SUV range. It comes from the GLS generation launched in 2019, updated in 2023.

How much does the Mercedes GLS 580 cost in the UAE?

AED 673,999 for the 4MATIC, one 2026 specification between the GLS 450 and the Maybach. The step up from the six-cylinder car buys the V8 and the electrical assistance that goes with it — the body, the third row and most of the equipment are shared, so this is a powertrain decision rather than a luxury one.

Mercedes GLS 580 or BMW X7?

The GLS 580 is the more restful car and the better one for carrying seven people over distance, with a V8 that never sounds like it is working and the most comfortable third row in the class. The BMW X7 is more agile than its size suggests and more dramatic inside; the Range Rover Sport is the fashion choice and the least practical.

What does a GLS 580 cost to run in the UAE?

Expensive, and predictably so — a V8 in a five-metre SUV is not a frugal combination, and the 48-volt system softens the fuel bill in traffic rather than eliminating it. Tyres and brakes are sized for the weight. Servicing goes through the authorised Dubai network, where this car is priced alongside the large saloons it shares its engine with.

Does the GLS 580 hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

Exceptionally well — about 57% of its value after five years and 72% after three, against roughly 40% and 58% for German premium SUVs here. Demand for V8 SUVs in this market is the reason, and it shows no sign of softening. On an older car the air suspension and the cooling system are what to have checked, since both work hard in this climate.

If the V8 is affordable to run, it is the version of the GLS range that costs the least to own.
