New Delhi. Mercedes-Benz India has announced that it will start manufacturing the Maybach GLS at its plant in Pune. With this move, India becomes the first country outside the US where this ultra-luxury SUV will be manufactured. Earlier, the Maybach GLS was being imported into India as a fully built unit from 2021. This announcement comes with the launch of the new Celebration Edition of the model, whose ex-showroom price has been kept at Rs 4.1 crore.
Price will be reduced by Rs 40 lakh
Due to local manufacturing, prices of Mercedes-Maybach GLS will now start at Rs 2.75 crore (ex-showroom). This price is about Rs 40 lakh less than before. The company has taken this decision because for the first time India has joined the top-5 global markets of Mercedes-Maybach. With local manufacturing, the company hopes that the delivery time will be reduced and this vehicle will be easily accessible to more customers.
