Mercedes-Maybach unveils 2027 GLS 680 luxury SUV

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the 2027 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 680, a comprehensively updated version of its ultra-luxury SUV that will begin arriving in global markets later this year. The vehicle, which debuted on July 21, 2026, introduces a more powerful engine, a redesigned cabin focused on chauffeur-driven comfort, and distinctive illuminated exterior details that mark a first for the brand.

The SUV’s exterior receives subtle but significant revisions to emphasize its exclusivity. The front fascia features a bold chrome grille with an illuminated surround and backlit Maybach lettering. Buyers in certain markets can also opt for an illuminated Mercedes-Benz hood ornament. Rose gold accents are integrated into the headlight clusters, which themselves feature a star-shaped daytime running light signature. Standard 22-inch or optional 23-inch wheels are available, with the larger forged rims incorporating a gyroscopic Mercedes star center cap that remains upright while the vehicle is in motion. New dual-tone paint options, including Dark Petrol and Verde Silver Metallic, are offered through the MANUFAKTUR personalization program.
