2023 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS Review

If you're familiar with the Maybach name, you're likely thinking of an extra-large and superbly luxurious Mercedes S-Class sedan. But what you might not know is that the GLS, Mercedes' largest SUV, has been getting the Maybach treatment since 2021. The Maybach GLS 600 is the brand's most opulent and most expensive SUV. It looks much like the regular GLS but sports unique exterior trim and, of course, the revered Maybach badge. You can also opt for an available two-tone paint job. But what's inside really sets it apart from the regular GLS.

The Maybach GLS 600's interior is adorned with the best Mercedes has to offer, including soft Nappa leather that covers most surfaces, high-quality wood trim and outstanding technology. The Maybach SUV also comes standard with impressive features, including heated and ventilated front and rear massaging seats, cupholders that can be heated or cooled, and an interior fragrance system. Maybach also removed the third row to provide more legroom for the rear passengers, who are treated to power-reclining executive-style seats. If that's still not enough, the sumptuous cruiser comes equipped with an adaptive air suspension that's enhanced for ride comfort. The Maybach GLS goes above and beyond the regular GLS, and then some.

As amazing as the Maybach GLS 600 is, it's not the only uber-luxurious SUV you should consider. There's the more affordable but still very lavish BMW Alpina XB7 and Bentley's sole SUV, the Bentayga. The Land Rover Range Rover is another compelling option, but make sure you aim for the top-spec Autobiography and SV models.
