Cheap Mercedes-Benz GLS Bumper

The GLS nameplate covers two main generations: the first-generation X166 (sold as GL before 2016, then renamed GLS), running from around 2012 to 2019, and the second-generation X167 from 2019 onwards. Bumpers are not interchangeable between these two generations as the body structure and front-end design differ significantly. Always confirm the generation with the breaker using your registration plate before ordering.

Both a 2017 and a 2015 GLS fall within the first-generation X166 platform, so in principle the bumper design is shared across this period. However, there was a mid-life refresh to the X166 around 2015-2016 that updated the front-end styling, and whether panels interchange across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume.

Both 2020 and 2022 fall within the second-generation X167 platform, which launched in 2019, so these bumpers should be from the same design generation. That said, confirm with the breaker using your registration to rule out any running production changes or minor facelifts within the X167 range. Never assume fitment without the breaker checking part numbers against your vehicle.

Engine choice and trim level do not drive bumper fitment on the GLS in terms of the underlying panel and mounting points, so a bumper from an AMG Line does not fit differently to a base-specification car in structural terms. However, AMG Line and AMG models can carry a different front bumper design with more aggressive styling, larger air intakes or different fog light positions, so the cosmetic appearance may not match if you mix trim levels. Confirm the exact bumper style with the breaker against your registration to make sure the look and any trim-mounted sensors or cameras correspond to your car.

The GL (X166) was rebranded as the GLS in 2016 but the underlying platform did not change at that point, so GL and GLS models on the X166 share the same generation. Whether a bumper from a pre-2016 GL will physically interchange with a post-2016 GLS X166 depends on where exactly each car sits relative to the facelift, so check this carefully with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

Engine type has no bearing on bumper fitment for the GLS — the front-end panels are shared across petrol, diesel and hybrid variants within the same generation and facelift period. Focus instead on confirming the generation (X166 or X167) and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift, then let the breaker verify part compatibility against your registration.
