Mercedes benz Maybach GLS Price in India 2026

The Maybach GLS 600 is powered by a 3,982 cc V8 biturbo engine paired with a 48V integrated starter-generator (ISG). The engine itself produces 550 bhp and 700-730 Nm of torque, while the hybrid system provides an additional 22 bhp and 250 Nm boost. This ensures the 2.8-ton SUV moves with effortless grace, prioritizing smooth power delivery over aggressive shifts.

The engine features a 90-degree V8 configuration with 4 valves per cylinder and Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC). It utilizes twin-scroll turbochargers positioned inside the "V" for faster response. The "Maybach" drive program is a unique feature that further refines the throttle and transmission to ensure rear-seat passengers experience zero shift-shock.

Despite its massive kerb weight of 2,825 kg, the Maybach GLS 600 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in a mere 4.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h. This performance allows it to keep pace with performance SUVs while maintaining the serenity of a private lounge.

Transmission is handled by the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic, which has been specifically recalibrated for maximum comfort. It features the 4MATIC fully variable all-wheel-drive system, capable of sending 100% of the torque to either axle as needed. It also includes an "Off-Road" mode with a "Transparent Hood" camera feature for better visibility on difficult terrain.

The Maybach GLS is a behemoth, measuring 5,208 mm in length, 2,157 mm in width, and 1,838 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,135 mm. It sits on a standard ground clearance of 200 mm, which can be adjusted via the air suspension. It is notably wide, providing massive shoulder room for the rear occupants.

The boot offers 520 litres of space, though this can be reduced if the optional refrigerator box and champagne flute holders are fitted. The fuel tank is a massive 90 litres, vital for the V8's fuel consumption, which averages around 8-10 kmpl. In India, it is primarily sold as a 4-seater with the individual "First-Class" rear suite.

The SUV is equipped with 8 to 9 airbags (depending on the seating configuration), including rear-side airbags and curtain airbags. It features a full Level 2 ADAS suite: Active Brake Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, and Pre-Safe Impulse Side, which uses the air suspension to lift the car by 80mm in milliseconds if a side impact is detected, directing forces to the stronger lower frame.

The standout tech is E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL, a 48V-powered fully active suspension that can control spring and damping forces at each wheel individually. This includes the famous "Curve" tilting function and the "Recovery Mode" (bouncing). It typically features 22-inch or 23-inch Maybach-exclusive forged wheels.

The rear cabin is a tech hub with a 7-inch MBUX tablet in the center console, two 11.6-inch entertainment screens, and a 27-speaker Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound system (1,590 watts). The seats offer a "hot stone" massage and can recline up to 43.5 degrees. It also includes 64-color active ambient lighting and a dedicated fragrance system (Air-Balance).

In 2026, the Maybach GLS 600 is locally assembled in India, keeping its price around ?3.17 Crore (ex-showroom). Service intervals are 15,000 km or 1 year. Notable features include Active Road Noise Cancellation and electronically extending running boards that deploy in 1.5 seconds when the doors are opened.
