Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Maybach unit has unveiled its all-electric Vision Ultimate Luxury concept car ahead of this week’s Beijing auto show.
The Vision Ultimate is 207 inches long, 83 inches wide and 69 inches tall. This makes it about five inches longer, seven inches wider and three inches shorter than the current GLS. The Maybach concept also is larger in every dimension than the Bentley Bentayga crossover, which likely would be one of its main competitors.
The interior features Mercedes’ dual-screen layout that combines a configurable digital instrument cluster and infotainment display under a single screen. Other highlights include leather upholstery, chrome accents and ebony wood reminiscent of that used in high-end Chinese furniture.
Rear passengers sit in individual, reclining seats. The center console between the seats stores a complete tea set with a kettle and various types of teas.
