Here’s a moment of joy for auto enthusiasts as we have been treated to the new Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV, priced at Rs 3.35 crore (ex-showroom). The upgraded SUV boasts a revised design and a new powertrain underneath the hood.
- Starting with the mechanical of things, the 2024 Maybach GLS 600 houses a 4-litre bi-turbo V8 petrol engine underneath the hood that produces 557hp and 770Nm of peak torque, that’s 40Nm more than its predecessor. It comes paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system that provides an additional boost of 22hp and 250Nm. This engine also powers the recently launched AMG S63 E Performance.
- A 9-speed automatic transmission takes care of transmission duties, sending power to all four wheels via a 4MATIC drive system. This enables the SUV to complete the century sprint in just 4.9 seconds before attaining a top speed of 250 kmph.
