AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/24 Report--

It is not uncommon to mention the phenomenon of price increases for new cars in recent years. With the upgrading of consumption, the performance of the luxury market has become better and better. Many luxury brands have experienced varying degrees of "price increases" due to limited supply and demand. A few days ago, Mercedes-Benz had just released its new flagship Maybach GLS, when it was reported that the model had become the "king of price increase" again.

A few days ago, Sina Weibo certified car blogger 'Big Eye' posted price news about Maybach's GLS model, saying that the current price of the new car is equivalent to the guide price of 2.738 million yuan, coupled with the price of a Mercedes-Benz G500, means the price of the new car will increase by at least 1.6 million, and the full price of the new car will be close to 5 million.

At the same time, another Sina car blogger 'Gao Yan Will' also revealed that the current price increases for the three Maybach GLS models are about 80,160,130 respectively. Such prices can no doubt be compared with many ultra-luxury brands such as Bentley.

I have to say that even though Mercedes-Benz G of the same brand has been one of the best-selling models with a price increase of more than 500,000 yuan, the price increase of Maybach GLS may be more difficult to understand. In addition, according to an inquiry from an imported car dealer about the price increase of Maybach GLS600, it ranges from 1.6 million to 1.71 million, which shows the market popularity of Maybach GLS models and the degree of premium for their brands and products.

In fact, the Maybach S-Class, which comes from parallel importers, has been in the process of increasing prices, with a price increase of about 500000, so Maybach, as a Mercedes-Benz model that can compete with super-luxury brands such as Bentley and Rolls-Royce, may be more common, but it is unaware that the price increase on the newly listed Maybach GLS has reached as much as 1.6 million yuan.

According to industry analysis, Maybach GLS has a huge price increase because it is not only a brand new model, but also Maybach. In order to maintain a high heat, it is generally impossible for new cars not to increase their prices at the initial stage of the market, and there will be a huge price increase. For those in need, they will pick up the first batch of luxury cars on the market and spend hundreds of thousands more to enjoy the attention ceremony in advance. However, the market will eventually return to rationality, and the rate of price increase in the later period will also fall somewhat.

Mercedes-Benz brought the new Maybach S-Class and Maybach GLS to the Maybach Night on the eve of the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. Although the Maybach GLS model made its domestic debut as early as last year's Guangzhou Auto Show. However, a year later, the model was officially launched at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. The new car carries 3.0T L6 and 4.0T V8 engines, matches 48V micro-mixing system, and sells for 158.80-2.738 million yuan.

In appearance, the new car uses a new large-size intake grille with a straight waterfall design, the English logo "MAYBACH" is added above the grille, and the three-pronged star emblem is used to increase the texture and advanced feel of the new car. The two-color car paint is painted and the Maybach exclusive LOGO is embedded on the D-pillar, the first visual effect is noble and elegant.

Due to the modular platform based on Mercedes-Benz MHA, the new car offers more exclusive design and luxurious interior style, and its competitor should be the extended range Rover. In terms of body size, Maybach GLS is 5205mm and wheelbase is 3135mm.

Interior design, the new car is also a family style, two Dalian screens occupy the center console. The car is covered with a lot of leather and uses a number of Maybach logos.

In terms of power, there are 3.0T and 4.0T engines respectively, and both are equipped with 48V light mixing system. Among them, the 3.0T version can output up to 367 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. The 4.0T version can output 558 horsepower and 730 Nm torque.

As we all know, Mercedes-Benz Maybach can become another miraculous car after Mercedes-Benz G, not only because of the brand premium, but also because the market is in short supply. However, how long the high price increase can last will naturally be decided by the market.
