Watch: How To Easily Enter The Tall Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS is the German carmakers flagship luxury SUV with immense road presence

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 recently underwent a midlife update with which it got a few design tweaks, but maintaining the same premium cabin experience as before. But when you are spending a few crores for luxury and comfort, it also matters how easily you can get into the cabin.

It’s normal for tall SUVs to have side steps for easier ingress and egress of the cabin, but they would clash with the regal look of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS. So, the German carmaker fitted it with side steps that automatically extend out of the body to help you climb in or out of the SUV, as demonstrated in the video above. 

If it’s still too high for the passenger to get in or out comfortably, the ride height of the luxury SUV can be further decreased with the click of a button. This is possible because the Maybach GLS comes with adaptive air suspension technology.
