Mercedes Maybach GLS600 4Matic – Walkaround in 4k HDR

Vehicles wearing the Maybach badge, such as the 2022 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600, offer the utmost in luxury and deliver a transportation experience as rich as caviar. A twin-turbocharged #V8 is under the hood and drives all four wheels through a standard nine-speed automatic. Power is plentiful and the GLS600 glides along with on air suspension. But the GLS600 is less about its powertrain and chassis and more about its overstuffed cabin, which is fit for the real kings, sports stars, and hedge-fund managers who will own one of these posh palaces-on-wheels. Nappa leather, premium wood, and other high-end finishes give the interior a lounge-like environment. A pair of rear seats recline and massage you. The trade-off is that the GLS600 isn’t as practical as its Benz- and AMG-branded counterparts, as it is not offered with a third row of seats and its cargo area is far less capacious. That won’t be a problem for those buyers who seek out its sybaritic qualities.

The #GLS600’s twin-turbocharged V-8 makes 558 horsepower and can motivate the big luxury SUV from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, according to #Mercedes-Maybach. The engine is assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system that gives a little extra shove right from the start. If that’s not fast enough for you, check out the Mercedes-AMG GLS63, which offers a 603-hp version of this powertrain and leapt to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds at our test track. During our initial test drive, we came away impressed with both its silky-smooth ride quality and its confident handling. An air suspension is standard, and it features a Maybach mode that all but erases bumps in the road.
