Lease the Mercedes-Benz GLS: A Smart Way to Experience Full-Size Luxury
If you’re searching for a full-size luxury SUV that blends performance, comfort, and advanced technology, the Mercedes-Benz GLS checks every box. Known as the “S-Class of SUVs,” the GLS delivers premium materials, spacious seating, and confident capability for families and professionals alike. At Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead, many drivers choose to lease the GLS as a flexible and cost-effective way to enjoy everything this flagship SUV has to offer.
Below, we’ll break down how leasing works, how it compares to financing, and what you should know before deciding which option fits your lifestyle best.
What It Means to Lease a Mercedes-Benz GLS
Leasing allows you to drive a new Mercedes-Benz GLS for a set period of time—typically two to four years—while making fixed monthly payments. Instead of paying for the entire value of the vehicle, you’re paying for the portion used during the lease term. This structure often results in lower monthly payments compared to financing, making it easier to enjoy a higher-level luxury SUV.
At the end of your lease, you can return the GLS, move into a newer model, or explore purchase options if you’ve fallen in love with your vehicle.
Leasing vs. Financing: What’s the Difference?
Choosing between leasing and financing comes down to how you prefer to drive and manage your vehicle ownership.
Monthly Payments
Leasing usually offers lower monthly payments because you’re covering depreciation rather than the full purchase price. Financing involves paying off the entire vehicle over time, which often results in higher monthly costs.
Ownership
When you finance a GLS, it becomes yours once the loan is paid off. Leasing does not include ownership unless you decide to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease term.
Vehicle Upgrade Cycle
Leasing is ideal for drivers who enjoy upgrading every few years and want access to the latest Mercedes-Benz technology, safety features, and design updates. Financing is often better for those who plan to keep their vehicle long-term.
Commitment Level
Leasing offers flexibility with shorter terms, while financing is a longer-term commitment but gives you the freedom to keep or modify the vehicle as you wish.
Important Things to Know About Leasing
Before leasing a Mercedes-Benz GLS, it’s helpful to understand a few key details:
Mileage Allowances
Leases include a set mileage limit per year. Choosing the right mileage option upfront helps avoid additional fees at the end of the lease.
Vehicle Care
Since leased vehicles are returned, they should be maintained according to manufacturer guidelines and returned in good condition, accounting for normal wear.
End-of-Lease Options
When your lease ends, you can:
- Return the GLS and lease a new Mercedes-Benz
- Explore extending your lease
- Purchase the GLS for a predetermined price
This flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of leasing.
