A new form of luxury in its purest form!

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic has just launched in India.

This is the first Maybach model of the regular GLS and boy is it amazing!

Sophistication and elegance just flow as smooth as the lines that grace this massive SUV.

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 stands poised at 22- or 23-inch wheels, prepared to take you to work on a magic carpet like ride, just one short of floating, with its AIRMATIC suspension and E-ACTIVE body control.

The beast looks all ready for the Corporate Jungle with a pin-striped front grille and dual tone paint on the exterior. The shade palette is restricted to 8 combinations of shades. The pin-striped theme extends to the 23-inch wheels as well.

The interiors are opulent, luxurious and supremely comfortable. Padded, cushioned, ventilated, fully reclining seats are standard, as are a variety of additions like the tray tables, refrigerated compartment with champagne flutes.  Electronically operated panoramic sunroof with an opaque roller blind provides privacy while the rigid partition and fixed rear parcel shelf provide higher sound insulation making the experience serene.

To complete the ultra-luxury package, the four-zone temperature-controlled air-conditioning system comes with its own special active fragrance as part of the AIR-BALANCE package. This aroma consists of the white Osmanthus blossom, floral and light, which is rounded off by a gentle leather note and spicy tea.
