The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC is the chauffeur-class flagship of the Mercedes-Benz GLS X167 line — the SUV peer to the Maybach S-Class saloon and the largest vehicle in the Maybach catalogue. The 2023 Facelift X167 brought a revised LED headlight signature, refined Maybach grille treatment, MBUX with second-row tablet integration, and a chassis recalibration around the same M177 powertrain.
The Larte Design Charisma is Larte's flagship widebody-class programme for the X167 — one tier above the entry-level Black Crystal aero treatment, and the headline body-kit for any X167 GLS or Maybach GLS donor. Sister Larte programmes include the Larte Winner for the Mercedes-AMG GT43 / GT53 X290. The full Larte Design collection sits alongside our wider Mercedes-Benz body-kit catalogue and the complete body kits range.

The Facelift release re-cuts the original Charisma component schedule around the 2023+ donor's revised LED signature, the new Maybach radiator-grille frame, and the lower rear valance with the relocated number-plate housing.
Engineered around the 2023+ Facelift Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC. Dimensionally compatible with the standard X167 GLS 580 / GLS 450 / GLS 63 AMG donors on the same body shell — AMG-specific factory aero is replaced wholesale by the Larte composite attachments. Pre-facelift 2020–2022 Maybach GLS donors are served by the original Charisma schedule; cross-fitment is supported VIN-by-VIN through our Custom Body Kit Design & Manufacturing Service.
Charisma builds typically step from the factory 22–23" Maybach wheels to 23"/24" staggered Larte forged monoblock or three-piece designs. Browse the full forged-wheel catalogue or specify a one-off through our Custom Forged Wheels Manufacturing service. Typical fitment 285/40 R23 / 325/35 R24 — full clearance for the optional carbon-ceramic brake package.
Quote turnaround 24–48 h. Production 6–10 weeks, installation 2–3 weeks, worldwide shipping from the Larte atelier in Karlsruhe. Order via +44 7488 818747 (WhatsApp) or [email protected].
Will the Charisma Facelift fit the pre-facelift 2020–2022 Maybach GLS 600?
The Facelift component schedule is calibrated to 2023+ body lines. Pre-facelift donors are served by the original Charisma; cross-fitment is supported VIN-by-VIN.
Does the kit interfere with E-ACTIVE Body Control or AIRMATIC?
No — Charisma components attach to the body panels and bumpers and are mechanically independent of the air-suspension hardware.
Does the front bumper preserve the radar and 360-degree camera array?
Yes — radar emitter and camera-aperture cut-outs are pre-machined to factory specification; radar revalidation included where local regulation requires it.
