The timing seems right to say, “The sky is the limit!” when we discuss opulence in SUVs. The upper tiers of the SUV spectrum have broken past ceilings of price and performance as we knew them, as the top marques have now found ways of affixing their esteemed emblems on high-riding automobiles. The latest to join this fancy fair is the Mercedes-Maybach GLS and at least for the Indian audience, it isn’t just a pricier variant of the popular SUV. And that is because most of the new-age technology that left us baffled on the new GLS but never came to India is standard on the Maybach GLS. So what you will sign the cheque for is not only exclusive paint and upholstery but also the very cutting edge of technology available on production-spec, fossil-fuelled cars.
