ARMORED
MERCEDES-BENZ GLS
Seven seats, V8 biturbo composure and certified protection to VR9 — the definitive protected family SUV.
Space, composure and certified security
The GLS is the S-Class of sport utility vehicles, and its dimensions make it exceptionally well suited to protection. Seven adults travel in genuine comfort, with every seat within the certified protection cell.
A 4.0-litre V8 biturbo and adaptive air suspension carry the additional mass with the quiet authority expected of the marque.
ENGINEERED AS A SINGLE STRUCTURE
Every Mercedes-Benz GLS is converted as one certified whole — ballistic materials, reinforced structure and glazing engineered together, then tested as a complete system.
Laboratory-tested ballistic steel, lightweight composite panels and multi-layered transparent armour are integrated throughout the GLS, calibrated to preserve weight balance and driving character.
Doors, pillars, roof and floor are reinforced as one continuous cell with a complete overlap system, closing every conventional line of exposure around the occupants.
Multi-layered glazing delivers exceptional optical clarity with a no-spall inner layer, so visibility and cabin appearance remain entirely undisturbed.
Engineered for the whole party
Where other vehicles protect a principal, the GLS protects an entire travelling group within one certified structure.
The protection cell extends around all three rows — no seat sits outside the certified structure.
Substantial power reserves maintain effortless progress even at full occupancy and protected weight.
Height-adjustable adaptive suspension recalibrated for consistent ride quality under all loads.
BESPOKE LEATHER AND HAND-FINISHED WOOD
The GLS cabin combines genuine space with materials and craftsmanship drawn directly from the S-Class.
Individual second-row seating available, with power-folding third row and full climate throughout.
Bespoke leathers, open-pore wood and ambient lighting specified to the client's preference.
The complete Mercedes-Benz technology and driver assistance suite operates entirely unaffected.
Complete operational provision
From run-flat mobility to concealed signalling systems, the GLS accommodates the full range of protective equipment.
Reinforced run-flat inserts allow continued progress at speed after tyre damage, ensuring the vehicle can always reach a safe location.
Protected exhaust, battery, fuel system and radiator, together with locking fuel and bonnet provisions, guard the vehicle while unattended.
Discreet LED strobes, siren and public-address systems, intercom and emergency communication packages are available and invisible when not in use.
