Australian specs and pricing have been announced for the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 ahead of a local arrival in August.
Pricing starts from $358,300 plus on-road costs which easily undercuts the rival Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The Maybach GLS600 is powered by the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8 found across the Mercedes-AMG range. In this application, it develops 410kW of power and 730Nm of torque which is sent to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The engine is augmented by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that provides an additional 16kW and 250Nm when under load.
From the outside plenty of bling is afforded via vertical chrome struts on the grille with pinstripe effect, chrome highlights around the side windows and chrome inserts in the side sill panels.
Other features include multibeam LED headlights, 23-inch wheels, special D-pillar badging as well as electronically extending running boards that stow out of sight when not needed.
The heavily insulated interior features climatised, massaging, reclining outer rear seats, padded areas finished in fine Nappa leather, the MBUX Rear Tablet system, and an electric opening panoramic sunroof with an opaque roller blind.
For limousine-like legroom, the rear seats also sit a further 120mm back compared to the Mercedes-Benz GLS and can be reclined backwards up to 43.5 degrees.
For additional comfort, folding tables and a refrigerator with space for champagne bottles can be optioned, along with silver champagne flutes. Classy!
