The brake rotors on the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class are engineered to deliver smooth, reliable stopping power for a luxury SUV with advanced weight and performance demands.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class typically handle a greater share of braking force and heat dissipation, so they often wear faster than rear rotors—especially with city driving and heavy loads. Rear rotors may be smaller or paired with drum parking brakes on some models, but on the GLS-Class the braking system is balanced for stability and comfort. When one axle’s components are neglected, it can create uneven braking, pull to one side, or cause ABS system anomalies. Mercedes-Benz of Draper offers full-axle inspections and can replace or resurface front and rear rotors using OEM parts to maintain balanced braking feel.
