In 2014 Mercedes-Maybach was established as a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz as part of a brand realignment. Alongside the main model, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, the brand launched special niche models such as the Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman and limited-edition luxury models such as the Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet. And now, the company is getting ready to launch its first luxury SUV.

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS undergoing testing

However, the car has been caught testing in recent times and we've got a decent understanding on what it will be like. The test mule which was spotted wore heavy camouflage, however, its massive dimensions unmistakably point out to it being the Maybach GLS. It looks quite similar, almost identical to the standard GLS in terms of design and overall proportions. However, a closer look reveals some of the Maybach elements which distinguish it from the standard SUV. For instance, it gets a different grille upfront and the alloy wheels are new.

Expect the Mercedes Maybach GLS to share engines with its sedan counterpart, which means that the 4.0-litre V8 and the 6.0-litre V12 petrol engines are likely to be on offer.
