The face-lifted Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic (left) and Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4Matic (right) were launched earlier today by MBM as part of its 'Luxury Like No Other' showcase happening this week at NZ Wheels, Bangsar.


Following last month’s teaser, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) made good on its promise from which today by launching a sleuth of new high-end models that it dubs as its ‘2024 Dream Cars Collection’.

Amongst the new models debuting locally at the Mercedes-Benz NZ Wheels Bangsar showroom earlier today were the facelifted Mercedes-Benz GLS range, the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance super-PHEV limo, the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLE grand tourer, the Mercedes AMG C43, and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance F1 Edition PHEV supercar.

Notably, all these models form the Mercedes-Benz 'Luxury Like No Other' Showcase that is taking place at the NZ Wheels Bangsar showroom mentioned from today until April 7. There’s plenty to unpack here, so stay tuned to CariCarz.com for further reports of all the models shown today.

We’ll focus on the refreshed third-generation (X167) GLS flagship luxury SUV line first, which was revealed globally about a year ago. Like before, the model continues to see two flavours available locally, those being the GLS 450 4Matic and the ultra-luxurious Maybach GLS 600 4Matic.

Up front, the GLS 450 4Matic now rocks a revised front bumper and grille combo. Note the new gloss back-finished exterior trims too.


With the base GLS 450 4Matic, the 2024 model year refresh sees it don mild exterior styling updates via a new front bumper primed with new air inlets, finished in gloss black. The four louvres in the grille are also now finished in Silver Shadow hue instead of chrome.

Elsewhere, the facelift treatment also takes place in the rear, which sees the LED taillights now feature a new signet motif. There’s also two new colourway options available – Sodalite Blue Metallic and Manufaktur Alpine Grey Solid.

Besides the adoption of Mercedes’ adaptive Multibeam LED headlights, the exterior is also treated in AMG Line specification. The latter adds new 22-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels, as well as aluminium-look, illuminated running boards with rubber studs.

Changes in the cabin are led by the revised MBUX dual-digital display modules featuring new software with new display graphics, plus a sleuth of newly added functions too.

Aesthetic changes aside, the GLS 450 4Matic’s powertrain has been improved slightly. The 3.0-litre in-line 6-cyl turbocharged mill with mild-hybrid (MHEV) assist sees peak power raised slightly from 362 HP to 381 HP now, whilst torque remains at 500 NM.

Launched too was the refreshed GLS 600 Maybach, which also features mild exterior revisions.


Should the GLS 450 4Matic not tickle your fancy enough, then you might want to give the face-lifted Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4Matic a look instead. Effectively, this is the three-point star’s ultra-lux alternative against things like the Bentley Bentayga.

This opulent SUV sees its refreshed exterior continue to bear hallmark Maybach traits. Highlights include its prominent chrome front grille, 23-inch multispoke forged wheels, the latter being a new update here.
