We may not know too much about cars, but we know a game changer when we see one. Introducing the Maybach GLS 600, where heightened luxury meets comfort and complemented by innovation and interior furnishings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a bit of background. The Maybach brand exists as part of Mercedes-Benz, with sleek and sophisticated luxury design blended with comfort. The latest model, though, takes it to another level in the form . \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Maybach GLS 600 combines the Maybach\u2019s attributes such as the grille with touches of Mercedes\u2019 luxury GLS SUV, such as the sophisticated interior completed with four individual seats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The highly anticipated model is now available in Bangkok through Benz Star Flag dealership, one of the few selected dealerships to represent the exclusive Maybach GLS 600 model. Benz Star Flag is an authorized market leader that exclusively sells Mercedes-Benz , with fluency in the luxury auto segment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have developed a strong leadership position at Benz Star Flag, and are one of the few dealerships that are selected to distribute the Maybach GLS 600,\u201d says Khun Chayuth Yangpichit, Managing Director of Star Flag.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Benz Star Flag is an exclusive one stop service dealership that sits on <\/span>Vibhavadi-Rangsit road, spanning over 18,500 square meters in space. The accessible location makes it easy and convenient to reach, as its facility sits right in the center of Bangkok.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Benz Star Flag has all that a Mercedes-Benz customer would need, from maintenance channels to paint and body repair, to showrooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have a deep understanding of what the ultra luxury market customers want and need, and have been developing on site exclusives to reflect that,\u201d says Khun Chayuth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe are creating a very personalized experience for Maybach GLS 600 customers,\u201d says Khun Chayuth. \u201cIn tune with the vehicle\u2019s comfort and luxury, our customers will have access to a special service lane in our dealership, with personalized and attentive service.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The launch of the Maybach GLS 600 speaks volumes about the shifting preferences of the auto industry. Now, more people are looking to purchase luxury SUVs, which has become a segment of its own beyond high performance sports cars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a wider array of lifestyles in today\u2019s age,\u201d says khun Chayuth, \u201ca luxury SUV is in a leading segment of its own, and it appeals to a wide array of people from families to active professionals. We are confident that the Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS 600 will redefine modern luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to the rise of luxury SUVs, Benz Star Flag also crafted an exclusive experience for potential and existing customers, such as the launch of its rooftop showroom, with the capacity to showcase two vehicles. Maybach owners are privy to exclusive parking, a private elevator as well as a private lounge within the dealership facility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Maybach GLS 600 is luxury redefined, and our facilities and exclusives intend to reflect that,\u201d says Khun Chaiyuth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Benz Star Flag hosted an exclusive launch event for the debut of Maybach GLS 600, where we also had the opportunity to sit down with Roland Folger<\/a>, President and CEO, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Thailand\/Vietnam.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Vehicle Run Down<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a truly unique and special model,\u201d says Roland. \u201cThe vehicle combines the GLS\u2019s technical attributes with the Maybach\u2019s luxury touch. It\u2019s everything you look for in a luxury SUV.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Maybach GLS 600 is truly top of range, from the immaculate handiwork to the technology package. The engine itself comes out of the AMG range, following a one man, one engine concept.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe interior, from the leather to the wood and stitching are hand picked and hand manufactured,\u201d says Roland. \u201cWe take it one level higher in making the vehicle special\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The most distinctive attribute may just be the two tone option for the vehicle, which are actually hand painted by Mercedes\u2019s in-house team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our whole company, there are maybe 3-4 people in the whole company who can make this two tone color by hand, it\u2019s real craftsmanship,\u201d says Roland. \u201cFunnily enough, a robot would not be accurate enough to be this precise with the craft.\u201d<\/p>\n

It can be said then, that no model of the Maybach GLS 600 is truly alike.<\/p>\n

Personalized Luxury<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonalization is at the very core of expectations now for luxury SUV buyers,\u201d says Roland. \u201cIt’s similar to staying in a luxury hotel or buying artwork. Ultimately, it\u2019s about personalization and how you want to be different to everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

This distinct personalization of the two tone attributes goes beyond car options, but about knowing that someone personally brought the design to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a world of mass production, this added emotional aspect is valuable,\u201d says Roland.<\/p>\n

The Pandemic Fuel<\/h2>\n

\u201cSome significant changes happened with the pandemic,\u201d says Roland. \u201cIt acted as a fast forward button, and digitized changes that may have taken 4-5 years took place in less than two.\u201d<\/p>\n

One example, more people started purchasing cars online through the Mercedes-Benz website, with this function also available in Thailand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a counter movement to personalization, as you receive a lot of information online, as well as leverage our dealership network here in Thailand, such as Benz Star Flag.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Roland relays, more people are viewing car showrooms virtually, and communicating directly online with Mercedes-Benz\u2019 product specialists. The core of the Mercedes brand however, has remained constant whilst evolving with changing consumer preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always tried to get as close to what the market wants, across the globe,\u201d says Roland. \u201cAt Mercedes-Benz, we have a wealth of high performing, high quality vehicles in our portfolio with a vast range.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even the SUV alone has a wide array of choices. Think about this, the GLA, GLC, GLS and even the G-Wagon in its own category.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the SUV range, we have multiple versions of one model. There\u2019s about 16-18 variants produced by Mercedes. From our entry versions to sedans and up to the ultimate luxury of the Maybach, we cater to all preferences,\u201d says Roland.<\/p>\n

The Carbon Neutral Mission<\/h2>\n

Mercedes-Benz has set a goal to be carbon neutral by 2039, but <\/span>Roland Folger says ambitions have already turned into actionable steps, with progress to be made by 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe plan to offer only electric variants by 2030,\u201d he says. \u201cHowever, the infrastructure in markets we operate in also has to be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

In order for Mercedes to invest in eco-friendly solutions, it also has to be possible to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIn order to invest, we need cooperation from governments and for the infrastructure to be ready, such as setting up EV charging stations nationwide,\u201d says Roland. \u201cFrom Mercedes\u2019 side, we are committed and capable, but it has to be possible for us to drive this change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
