Description
Mercedes-Maybach unveils the 2027 GLS 680, the brand's most luxurious full-size SUV yet. Replacing the GLS 600, it debuts a more powerful twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque — a jump of 53 hp and 89 lb-ft over the outgoing model.
Design highlights include new DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps with a twin-star design and rose gold accents, a two-tone paint finish with new colors like Dark Petrol and Verde Silver Metallic, and an illuminated Maybach-specific radiator grille. An optionally illuminated Mercedes-Benz Star now sits atop the hood for the first time.
Inside, buyers get a full-width MBUX Superscreen and an MBUX Virtual Assistant enhanced with AI from ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing, and Google Gemini, plus a Burmester 3D Surround Sound system with Dolby Atmos and a 710-watt amplifier. Comfort features include front seats with a vibro-massage function alongside cooling and back massage.
On the chassis side, buyers can opt for Mercedes' new E-Active Body Control, which actively manages spring and damper forces to counteract roll and pitch.
The GLS 680 name replaces the previous GLS 600 badge as part of the broader GLS lineup refresh for 2027. It's expected to arrive in the US this fall, with pricing likely to start north of the current GLS 600's $181,350 base price.
