Mercedes-Benz India has expanded its ultra-luxury portfolio with the launch of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS Celebration Edition, priced at ₹4.10 crore (ex-showroom). This special edition brings subtle exterior enhancements and richer cabin upgrades to the already opulent SUV. Importantly, Mercedes-Benz has also announced local manufacturing of the Maybach GLS in India, a move that has reduced its price by over ₹40 lakh, making it comparatively more accessible in the ultra-luxury segment.
Powertrain and PerformanceUnder the hood, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS Celebration Edition is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine delivering 557 hp and a massive 770 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth yet powerful performance. Thanks to this setup, the luxury SUV sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, while its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Ultra-Luxury Cabin ExperienceInside, the Celebration Edition focuses heavily on rear-seat comfort. It features two individual executive rear seats, a full-length centre console, and an integrated MBUX rear tablet for added convenience and control.
The SUV also gets the Manufacture Leather Package, which uses premium Nappa leather on seat cushions, executive seats, and even the roof liner. Additionally, the Manufacture Exclusive Leather Package extends matching leather finishes to the window frames and side instrument panels, elevating the sense of craftsmanship.
