They will be all built at Magna Steyr’s manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria. Although price is yet to be announced it will certainlty cost more than the €480,000 from the G63 6x6, back in 2014.

In order to help passengers climb to the cabin of the G650 Laundalet there is a unning board, which hinges from underneath the doors. The new Maybach family member offers room for four passengers and rear seats feature the S-Class electronically adjustable individual seat system. This provides more legroom if needed.

Driver and front seat passenger are always seaten under a hardtop roof, while rear seat passengers have the opportunity to travel with the top down. By simply pressing a button a fabric roof retracts back automatically.

Keeping faithful to its limousine roots the G650 Laundalett also includes an lectrically operated glass partition, which splits the cabin in two. This glass can be changed from transparent to opaque. The limousine-styled SUV has also been fitted with retractable tables integrated in the rear middle console and two 10.0-inch monitors featuring the infotainment system.
