Mercedes-Benz Maybach launched its much-awaited GLS 600 4Matic in India in June. The Ultra-luxury modern SUV costs a whopping Rs 2.43 crore without the optional add-ons. If you decide to get it fully equipped with all the options, it will cost you around Rs 3.5 crore. However, the car justifies its heavy price by giving the best-in-class features all around the car. It is an all-around well-made car with no compromises whatsoever. Bulky yet modern, it comes with much-advanced technology and still retains its classy features. Its sister SUV Mercedes Benz GLS may look similar but has a whole lot of differences, including interior and styling changes. Here are 5 points about the Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC:
1. The Maybach GLS uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 equipped with a 48V mild-hybrid system. The system produces 557hp and 730Nm of torque, with the 48V system providing an additional 22hp and 250Nm boost on demand. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
2. From the outside, the car has 22-inch alloy wheels, a chrome grille with vertical slats and the Maybach logo, LED headlamps, LED taillights, a chrome-finished B-pillar. It has a big bulky look as you would expect from a full-sized SUV and it weighs around 2.7 tonnes.
3. When it comes to the interior, Maybach makes no compromises. The GLS comes equipped with Black Nappa leather upholstery, rear seats with climate control, massage, memory, and reclining function, MBUX connectivity, MBUX rear tablet, wireless charging, folding tables, ambient lighting, refrigerator, and wood trims across the interior.
4. The twin 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and touchscreen get Maybach unique graphics and functions as well. The biggest change though is to the rear. Aimed at being a chauffeur-driven SUV, the third row has been deleted while the second row is pushed back to free up more room. It has a whole lot of features that are meant to be for the comfort of the owner in the backseat.
5. There are 15 colours available for the Maybach 600 4MATIC: Obsidian Black, Diamond White Bright, Iridium Silver, Emerald Green, Polar White, Cavansite Blue, Hyacinth Red metallic-55 AMG, Mojave Silver, Selenite Grey, Obsidian Black With Rubellite Red, Brilliant Blue, Emerald Green With Mojave Silver, Obsidian Black With Kalahari Gold, Iridium Silver With Selenite Grey and Iridium Silver With Diamond White Bright.
