Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 SUV will make its India debut today and sit at the top of the company's SUV lineup for the country. Although the Maybach GLS 600 from Mercedes-Benz has been on sale in several markets since its official showcase back in 2019 , it marks an extension of options in ultra luxury SUVs offered to a niche car-buying audience in the country.

Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 price expectations
Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 SUV is , quite obviously , meant for the extremely affluent and buyers who are looking at pushing the luxury quotient offered by 'conventional' luxury SUV buyers. As such , while the GLS SUV is priced at ₹1.05 crore (ex showroom) , the Maybach GLS 600 SUV could well be priced three times higher.
The expected price of over ₹3 crore could also be because Mercedes-Benz is likely to drive in the Maybach GLS 600 SUV via the CBU route. As it isn't going to be a volume player , and obviously at that , it may not make sense to localize production in the country.

But the select units that do make it into the country will promise a whole lot more of luxury , even by Mercedes standards.

Under the hood is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine with a 48-volt on-board electrical system and integrated starter-alternator (ISG). The engine is mated to a 9G-Tronic automatic unit.

Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 exterior highlights
But even when a Maybach GLS 600 SUV isn't on the move , it can be quite an imposing piece of automotive art. An imposing radiator grille , the Maybach emblem on the exterior body , dual-tone colours and the 22-inch (or 23-inch in select markets) - all make for an SUV that seeks to be at the pinnacle of SUVs pyramid.
