Mercedes-Benz has confirmed it will debut a Maybach SUV concept at the Beijing auto show later this month. A teaser sketch reveals the model will feature a simplified dashboard layout with a large screen and copper-colored accents.

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury demonstrates “how the typical strengths of an exclusive high-end saloon and an SUV can be combined,” the automaker said in a statement. A previous teaser Mercedes released before revealing the identity of the vehicle showed off quilted leather seats, floral decor, and plenty of headroom in the rear.

The Mercedes-Maybach SUV will sit on the same platform as the new GLS. According to , it will debut in production form at the Los Angeles auto show before going to market in 2019.

Also confirmed to debut in Beijing is the Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan. Like the hatch, it receives Mercedes’ new infotainment system that leverages artificial intelligence and augmented reality. The hatch also receives a head-up display, massaging seats, and other features that belie its status as an entry-level model, and the sedan could follow suit. It will likely also feature S-Class driver assistance features including adaptive cruise control, steering assist, and lane change assist functions as well as autonomous emergency braking and evasive steering assist that can help a driver avoid pedestrians. The model that will debut in Beijing is for China, but our own version of the A-Class sedan will make its way to the U.S. later this year.

The Beijing auto show begins April 25.
