  • Mercedes-Benz USA’s CEO confirmed the Mercedes-Maybach GLS to Automotive News.
  • It will be built at the same Vance, Alabama, plant as the regular GLS, making it the most expensive passenger vehicle built in the States.
  • The regular Mercedes-Benz GLS-class is set to make its debut within the next few months.

Mercedes previewed the possible Maybach GLS with the Vision Ultimate Luxury concept (pictured above) last spring. Don’t let the weird sedan roofline and trunk fool you-imagine the concept with a regular GLS’s rear end and slightly less concept-y details, and you’ve got what the production SUV will look like. The Maybach GLS should make its debut later this year, most likely in China, before going on sale in 2020. We expect it will be sold in GLS560 guise, using the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 as the Maybach S560 sedan. Sadly, there’s almost no hope for a GLS650 with a twin-turbo V-12, but an all-electric version could be possible.
