Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Mercedes GLS X167

MANSORY Carbon Body Kit for the Mercedes-Benz GLS X167 — the Three-Row Flagship SUV on the MHA Platform, Covering GLS 450 through GLS 580 V8 and Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, Rival to the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The Mercedes-Benz GLS X167 arrived in 2019 as the fourth-generation GLS (first two generations were badged GL-Class), positioned as the definitive three-row flagship Mercedes SUV — the S-Class of SUVs in the Stuttgart world-view. The X167 rides on the MHA rear-drive modular SUV architecture shared with the GLE V167, but with a substantially longer wheelbase (+170 mm vs GLE), three full rows of seating, and a kerb weight approaching 2,800 kg. The X167 range covers: GLS 450 4MATIC (M256 3.0L inline-6 with 48V EQ Boost ISG, 367 hp + 22 hp electric, 9G-TRONIC); GLS 580 4MATIC (M176 4.0L biturbo V8, 489 hp / 700 Nm with 48V EQ Boost); and the separate ultra-luxury Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC (N74B68 4.0L biturbo V8, 558 hp / 730 Nm, four-seat executive configuration with rear-compartment Maybach features including Executive Rear seats with massage, champagne flutes, and Burmester 4D Surround Sound). All variants share the standard equipment of AIRMATIC air suspension, 48V E-Active Body Control (the optional active-roll hydraulic system that dynamically levels the body during cornering, off-road articulation, and in response to road-surface inputs via forward-looking camera scanning), and the MBUX intelligent-assistant system. A comprehensive facelift in 2024 introduced the Hyperscreen-generation MBUX cluster and revised exterior styling. This product — the Mansory Carbon Body Kit for the GLS X167 — covers the non-AMG range (GLS 450, GLS 580, Maybach GLS 600). The AMG GLS 63 (M177 V8, 612 hp) is covered by a separate SET programme on its own hodoor.world page due to its distinct front-fascia and AMG-specific component geometry.

Mansory approach to the GLS X167 family

The GLS 450 and GLS 580 carry their flagship-SUV brief in a deliberately dignified visual register — Mercedes's design language for the GLS is intentionally closer to the S-Class sedan than to the AMG GLE 63 S. Mansory's carbon body kit for these donors takes a proportionate approach: a full-replacement Mansory front bumper with lower-intake carbon splitter and subtle LED-surround carbon integration; a vented carbon bonnet with narrower twin heat-extractor louvres (less aggressive profile than the AMG-spec programme); carbon front-fender overlays with air-outlet details; carbon side skirts; bonded carbon rear-fender arch extensions (modest +25 mm front / +30 mm rear widening, substantially less than AMG programme); carbon rear bumper with quad-exhaust integration and carbon diffuser; carbon tailgate spoiler; carbon mirror caps. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 can receive the full kit with any exposed-carbon elements body-colour-painted and all chrome-replacement items substituted with Maybach-black or piano-black finish, so the modification reads as a factory Maybach Manufaktur specification rather than an aftermarket widebody. This is uniquely appropriate for Maybach donors whose owners want presence without overt aggression.

FAQ — Mansory GLS X167 Body Kit

Does the Maybach GLS 600 version hide carbon and look factory-Maybach? Yes — Mansory can paint all visible carbon components body-colour and finish chrome-replacement items in Maybach-piano-black, so the result resembles a Maybach Manufaktur Special edition rather than an aftermarket conversion.

Will the 48V E-Active Body Control sensors and hydraulic pump remain functional after the conversion? Yes — the E-Active Body Control system is mounted within the chassis; body-kit installation does not interfere with sensor geometry or hydraulic plumbing.

Does the Mansory exhaust work with the Maybach GLS 600's premium acoustic-NVH package? The Maybach GLS Mansory exhaust variant is tuned for low-intrusion acoustic character consistent with Maybach's NVH requirements, adding minimal cabin intrusion under Comfort mode and modest V8 character under Sport mode.

Can the running boards be retained after the side-skirt extension is fitted? Yes — the side-skirt extensions are engineered with a provision for running-board retention on donors where factory running boards were specified. Running-board removal is an option, not a requirement.

Is a 2024-facelift-specific front bumper available? Yes — the 2024 Hyperscreen-facelift GLS has a revised front-bumper intake geometry; a dedicated facelift-variant front bumper is produced, specified by model-year confirmation in the order.

Does the forged-wheel 24" option require any AIRMATIC height recalibration? 24" all-corner matched forged wheels fit within factory AIRMATIC height settings on the GLS; 24" staggered with specific tyre-section changes may require AIRMATIC lowered-setting verification, assessed per order.

Is TÜV certification included for EU markets? Yes — full TÜV-certified documentation covering body modifications, wheel fitments, and exhaust noise/emissions is issued for EU-registered GLS X167 donors.
