Recently, a video has surfaced on social media showing Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phu, also known as Shark Phu, receiving the handover of his newly purchased car. This car happens to be the luxurious SUV Mercedes-Maybach GLS 480 4Matic with a price tag of around 10 billion VND.

Interestingly, a Mercedes-Benz salesperson shared that Shark Phu remarked, “The more difficult the market is, the more I enjoy buying cars.” This shows that the shark not only seeks out investment opportunities in challenging market conditions but also indulges in purchasing cars. At present, many car manufacturers are competing to lower their prices.

Shark Phu Acquires a Luxury SUV Mercedes-Maybach GLS: “The More Difficult the Market Is, the More I Enjoy Buying Cars”

The exterior of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic, the latest addition to Shark Phu’s collection, is black – the preferred color of businessmen when it comes to luxury cars.

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic, also known as the “beloved SUV,” caters to different walks of life. It is currently the only luxury SUV being sold in Vietnam for a price below 10 billion VND. Specifically, the manufacturer’s official price for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic is 8.4 billion VND, which translates to approximately 10 billion VND after taxes and fees.

When compared to the top-of-the-line Mercedes-Maybach GLS600, the more affordable Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic luxury SUV doesn’t differ much at first glance. The only noticeable differences are the slightly smaller wheels and the “480” logo at the rear of the car. On the inside, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic exudes luxury with 2 VIP rear seats that can recline up to 43.5 degrees, a detachable multi-function tablet, 2 premium MBUX entertainment screens, a foldable work table, electric curtains, panoramic sunroof, luxurious champagne glasses, and many other high-end amenities.

The main distinction between the Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic and the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 4Matic lies in the drivetrain. Underneath Shark Phu’s newly purchased luxury SUV, you’ll find a 6-cylinder, 3.0-liter engine that qualifies for more tax benefits compared to the V8 twin-turbo 4.0-liter engine of the GLS600.

The heart of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS480 4Matic luxury SUV churns out a maximum output of 367 horsepower in the 5,500-6,100 rpm range and a peak torque of 500 Nm in the 1,600-4,500 rpm range. Power is transmitted to all 4 wheels through the 9-speed 9G-Tronic transmission.
