Mercedes-Benz is introducing a vehicle that combines the luxury features of its flagship S-Class sedan with the GLS full-size SUV as part of a push to increase profits through sales of upscale cars.
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 will hit showrooms in the second half of next year, the Daimler AG brand said Thursday at the Guangzhou auto show in China. The vehicle is made at Daimler’s U.S. factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and powered by a V8 engine including a 48-volt hybrid system to deliver a total 558 horsepower.
