What Mercedes-Benz GLS do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz GLS years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of availability, pricing, and equipment. They also sit close to the sweet spot where you can find newer features without moving all the way to the newest model year.

The table shows broad downward movement across every listed model year, which is good news if you’re shopping used. Several years are posting double-digit declines, so you can find meaningful savings versus a year ago.

The 2023, 2021, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
