The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is based on the new-gen GLS SUV that went on sale in India last year. That said, the new-generation Mercedes-Maybach GLS easily stands out from the regular GLS line-up courtesy the new dual-tone body colour treatment and all the bling. The face is dominated by a large Maybach-styled chrome grille flanked by the sleek LED headlights. The bumper too sports a large chrome air curtains that are conjoined, along with a thick chrome skid plate. Then you also get chrome inserts on the B-pillar, Maybach brand logo on the D-pillar, and it rides on massive 23-inch multi-spoke wheels that are offered as optional.

The SUV comes with a 3135 mm long wheelbase, out of which the rear passengers get legroom of 1103 mm.

It is offered in both four and five-seater options and the former also comes with a fixed centre console that has space for a refrigerator to store champagne bottles, along with silver champagne flutes. The cabin is draped in Nappa leather upholstery and it gets a 3135 mm long wheelbase, out of which the rear passengers get legroom of 1103 mm. Of course you get to see the Maybach logo and multiple places inside the cabin.

Features

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 gets the MBUX infotainment system.

It goes without saying that the Maybach GLS gets all the bells and whistles as standard from the GLS and then some that comes with that Maybach badge.

Whichever one you opt for, the four-seater or the five-seater, the rear seats come with a reclining functional as well.
