Based on the GLS, the Maybach version packs the best of luxury and will be offered in 4 and 5-seater configurations

Power on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 comes from the 4.0-litre V8 engine tuned to develop 542 bhp and 730 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 9G-Tronic automatic transmission. The engine also comes with a 48-volt system EQ Boost mild-hybrid system that offers an additional 21 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque. The EQ-Boost tech improved initial acceleration and even efficiency on the SUV.

Visually, the new GLS Maybach gets a big aesthetic upgrade over the standard GLS. While the body style is familiar, you do get the massive chrome grille with the Maybach hood ornament. The bumper too is a massive piece glistening in chrome, while LED headlamps get Multibeam technology. The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is likely to arrive as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) in the country, and prices are likely to be north of the Rs. 2 crore mark.
