This is the new Mercedes-Maybach GLS. It’s a luxury-focused version of the German brand’s largest SUV, which is designed to compete with the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. It will go on sale in the second half of 2020.
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS shares its platform and body-in-white with the standard GLS SUV. Styling revisions include a redesigned front bumper, an updated radiator grille and a reworked rear bumper. It’s also fitted with Mercedes’ Multibeam LED headlights and 22-inch alloy wheels as standard – although 23-inch alloys are available as an optional extra.
Under the skin, the Maybach GLS is fitted with an upgraded version of the standard SUV’s air suspension system, which Mercedes says can better cushion road imperfections. Buyers can also spec Mercedes’s E-Active Body Control system as an optional extra, adding a function which actively leans the SUV into corners like a motorcycle, at angles up to three degrees, to the benefit of passenger comfort.
