Mercedes-Benz will reveal a new concept at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show and has dropped a new short video as well as sketch to go along with an earlier teaser it released. More importantly, the concept finally gets a name: Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury.
The company still won’t explicitly say what it is, and merely states the concept “shows how the typical strengths of an exclusive high-end saloon and an SUV can be combined.”
It has been rumoured that the concept will preview the next-generation GLS, albeit with plenty of luxurious items added befitting a Maybach model. Such a model will look to take on other luxury SUVs like the Bentley Bentayga and the upcoming Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
We’ll focus on the video first as it gives us a very clear look at the new Vision concept’s interior. Dimly lit as it may be, we can clearly see a high level of opulence here, with plenty of bright leather surfaces, chrome and rose gold trim, as well as elegant floral motifs scattered around the cabin.
There’s also plenty of blue lighting accents on show (like on other Vision concepts), including on the steering wheel which has been modified in look for the concept. Based on the attached sketch, a widescreen display will also be present as well. If it isn’t obvious already, there’s only space for four passengers, with a long centre console that runs from the front to the back of the second row.
We’ll know more about the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury later when it makes its official debut at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show, so stay tuned.
