    New Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 specs, features

    The updated Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 retains the iconic vertical chrome slats in the grille, but they're slightly larger than before. The front bumper has been redesigned and the 22-inch wheels on the India-spec model will also feature a new design.

    However, the overall cabin layout will be carried over, and the steering wheel will feature a new design. The new Maybach GLS 600 will also carry over feel-good features like Manufaktur leather interior, a dual-screen display, rear infotainment screens, a 27-speaker Burmester sound system, ambient lighting and more.

    The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 will likely continue to be offered with the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine with a 48V starter-generator integrated into the nine-speed automatic gearbox. This engine produces 557hp and 730Nm of torque, and an additional 22hp and 250Nm via the 48V electric system.

    New Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance specs, features

    The new AMG S 63 gets an updated version of the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine used by its predecessor, and adopts a rear-axle-mounted asynchronous electric motor and a 13.1kWh lithium-ion battery. The result is a combined power output of 802hp and a massive 1,430Nm of peak torque, making it the most powerful S-Class ever.

    Thanks to the motor and battery pack, the new S 63 has an electric-only range of 33km. It also comes equipped with AMG Ride Control+ suspension with air springs and variable damping control that provides automatic self-levelling and lowering function at speeds above 128kph for added aerodynamic efficiency. In addition, it gets AMG Active Ride Control stabilisation with electromechanical anti-roll bars as well as rear-axle steering of up to 2.5deg.

    Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, AMG S 63 E Performance expected price

    The existing Maybach GLS 600 is priced at Rs 2.96 crore, and the updated version is expected to be priced north of the Rs 3 crore mark owing to the changes. The AMG S 63 4MATIC+ E Performance could carry a price tag of around Rs 3 crore-3.5 crore. Both the cars will be brought to the country as CBUs.
