The Mercedes-Maybach GLS has found a place in the garage of several celebrities, including Kangana Ranaut, Shahid Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh, underlining its growing presence in the ultra-luxury SUV space.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 stands out as a luxury SUV built for a multi-crore lifestyle, blending a powerful V8 engine with the calm authority of a flagship vehicle, something I’ve noticed instantly changes how people react on arrival. From its lavish interiors and chauffeur-level comfort to reclining seats, massaging functions, and advanced tech, it’s easy to see why elite celebrities and Bollywood stars prefer its customization options like Emerald Green and Polar White, whether for a red-carpet debut or gliding through Mumbai streets with supreme comfort and a truly standout presence.
Shahid Kapoor’s Luxury SUV Choice
Known first as a Bollywood actor, Shahid Kapoor of Kabir Singh fame has added the Maybach GLS 600 to his high-end garage, finished in a striking Emerald Green shade and wearing the exclusive VIP 0700 plate. From what I’ve seen of celebrity car collections, this SUV fits perfectly alongside his Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, reflecting a consistent taste for a refined luxury badge and carefully chosen premium models that signal understated status rather than loud excess.
Deepika Padukone’s Luxury SUV Statement
Deepika Padukone often cruises in a Maybach GLS 600 finished in blue, with chrome alloys gleaming, a detail that reflects her global star power after iconic roles like Bajirao Mastani. From what I’ve observed in celebrity garages, she often shares rides with her husband Ranveer Singh, further amplifying her celebrity status every time the SUV rolls out, blending presence, elegance, and quiet confidence.
Ranveer Singh stayed ahead of his peers by snapping up the Maybach GLS 600, pioneering a new SUV trend while swapping classic sedans for this Brilliant Blue beast. His eclectic collection includes the Lamborghini Urus, but the GLS easily handles family duties, showing why this luxury SUV fits his lifestyle so well.

2026 Mercedes-Maybach GLS Made in India
From my time tracking luxury car launches, this move feels big as Mercedes-Benz India confirms local production of the Maybach GLS at its Pune facility, marking India manufacturing as the first market outside the United States for this ultra-luxury SUV. Earlier sold as a completely built unit or CBU, and shipped since 2021, the shift changes both pricing and ownership experience. The new Celebration Edition, priced at Rs 4.1 crore ex-showroom, reflects focused launch plans while keeping exclusivity intact, showing how serious the brand is about long-term presence in India.
With local manufacturing, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS now brings a big shift as starting prices drop to Rs 2.75 crore ex-showroom, a substantial decrease of approximately Rs 40 lakh in overall pricing, a smart automaker decision driven by India entering the top five global markets for Mercedes-Maybach for the first time, where locally produced units help the brand improve accessibility for consumers by decreasing delivery times, improving availability, and making this ultra-luxury vehicle easier to own without losing its exclusivity.
