A limited run of 75 units will be sold domestically in 2024 as the “EDITION ONE,” and due to its popularity, a limited run of 95 units of the “EDITION TWO” will be introduced in 2025.

On the other hand, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is a Maybach version of Mercedes-Benz’s top-of-the-line SUV, the GLS. It features a dazzling grille with delicate vertical louvers and an exquisite rear cabin designed for chauffeur-driven driving.
