What the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the GLS-Class, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $3,650 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 522 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the GLS-Class under Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the GLS-Class's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2017 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a GLS-Class sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 3 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used GLS-Class sells for now

| 2021 | 18 listings | |
| 2019 | 17 listings | |

Where to find the VIN on a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every GLS-Class, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.

Is the recreated Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class sticker the same as the original?
