The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 was unveiled globally in November 2019, marking the SUV's debut in the Maybach lineup and was to reach the global markets in the second half of 2020.

It has been spotted in Tamil Nadu.

Possibly a private import but Mercedes-Benz had plans to launch it this year but due to pandemic the official launch has been pushed to next year.

The exterior of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 gets heavy chrome inserts to uplift its bold, big and noticeable body design. The main highlights of the GLS 600 include fine and vertical slats of the Maybach radiator grille, massive 22-inch or 23-inch (available as an option) multi-spoke wheels, ‘Maybach’ brand emblem on the D-pillar, two-tone paintwork and tailpipe trim elements.
The interior of the GLS 600 is a world of its own. It is flooded with features and equipments like the 12.3-inch MBUX infotainment system, and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, Burmester surround sound system, LED optical fibre ambient lighting with 64 colors, dashboard finished in nappa leather, panoramic sliding sunroof with opaque roller blind, climatised massage seats, folding tables and a refrigerator! It uses e-active body control suspension system. For improved ride comfort, it gets a camera to scan the road ahead and make adjustments to smooth out the bumps.

The luxurious SUV will be powered by a 4.0-litre V8 engine tuned to mill out 542bhp and 730Nm of torque mated to a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with an integrated EQ Boost starter-generator contributing 21bhp and 249Nm torque for a short period of time.

Expecting a H1 2021 Launch.

Looks like a beast. All that elegance and yet too much chrome below the grille!

Ugh! Looks like when BMW decided to paste ultra large grills on their SUV lineup, Mercedes engineers were like, hold my cup!

The source had revealed that it is just a Maybach 'kit' and not the fully-blown version. Mods please do the needful for the post/thread.

They’ve already sold all 50 allocated cars in a quick fire 3 weeks. That’s ₹150 crore or thereabouts of business in a month. The demand for these Uber luxurious SUVs is through the roof!
