The global model offers both four- and six-seat configurations, and it will be revealed on May 22 which setup will be available in India.
Powertrain and Performance of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600
The 2024 Maybach GLS 600 will be powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. This powerhouse produces 549bhp and 730Nm of torque, with the mild-hybrid system providing an additional boost of 22bhp and 250Nm.
