Indian cricket vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has recently scored big off the field with his latest acquisition—a dazzling Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 worth a whopping Rs 3.5 crore (ex-showroom). Rahane’s high-end purchase not only places him in the league of cricketing celebrities with a penchant for luxury SUVs but also marks a significant milestone as the first Indian cricketer to own this lavish vehicle.
The Instagram post by AutoHangar captures the celebratory moment, featuring Rahane and his wife, Radhika Dhopavkar, standing proudly beside their new set of wheels.
Choosing the sophisticated Polar White shade, Rahane follows in the footsteps of Bollywood sensation Shilpa Shetty, who also owns a GLS 600 in the same elegant color. While the specific customizations and features selected by Rahane remain undisclosed, it’s presumed that he indulged in the premium options synonymous with the prestige associated with this SUV.
The Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 stands out for its luxurious features, with its reclining rear seats taking center stage. Configured as a four-seater, the SUV boasts a fixed center console featuring a built-in refrigerator for chilling champagne, accompanied by silver champagne flutes. Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated massaging seats, and more contribute to the overall opulence of the driving experience.
Beneath the hood, the Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 packs a formidable punch with its 4.0-liter V8 engine, complemented by a 48V mild-hybrid system. Delivering an impressive 557 bhp and 730 Nm of torque, this SUV ensures a thrilling ride for Rahane as it powers all four wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission.
As Rahane takes the driver’s seat in this luxurious addition to his collection, the Indian cricket star not only makes a statement of style and sophistication but also sets a new benchmark in the world of cricketing luxury.
