The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 will likely continue to be offered with the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine with a 48V starter-generator integrated into the nine-speed automatic gearbox. This engine produces 557hp and 730Nm of torque, and an additional 22hp and 250Nm via the 48V electric system.
