2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 Review // The Ultimate Flex for Benz SUV Drivers

#mercedezbenz #maybach #gls600 #luxury #suv
When luxury isn't good enough, you need to dip into the Maybach brand for elite #german regality.
Hot on the heels of the new GLE and GLE Coupe, the 2024 Mercedes‑Benz GLS, Mercedes‑Maybach GLS 600 and Mercedes‑AMG GLS 63 introduces a host of new updates. A number of design, technology and equipment changes take the comfort, connectivity and performance of the full-size SUV model series to new heights.
With generous interior dimensions, the SUV models offer interior space for up to seven occupants. The new 2024 GLS model range will arrive in U.S. dealerships later in 2023.
Mercedes-Benz GLS: visual enhancement and functional off-road features
The new Mercedes‑Benz GLS models can be recognized by the even more striking radiator grille. The four louvers feature a Silver Shadow finish. The front bumper is also visually more prominent with integrated air inlet grilles, combined with a surround in high-gloss black, and a redesigned front underride guard. At the rear, the GLS impresses with new LED taillights showcasing a light signet formed by three horizontal blocks.
The interior of the Mercedes‑Benz GLS features seating configurations for six or seven occupants. With Catalana Beige and Bahia Brown, customers can choose from two new leather upholstery options. The range of interior trim finishes has also been revised with new High-Gloss Brown Linden Wood. MANUFAKTUR Piano Lacquer Flowing Lines, previously reserved for the Mercedes‑Maybach GLS 600, is now also available for the GLS family from Mercedes‑Benz. Another new detail familiar from the Mercedes‑Maybach GLS is the Silver Shadow finish of the center and side climate control vents.
The latest generation MBUX infotainment system brings with it a new look for the displays. The central display can be operated directly and conveniently as a touchscreen. The driver display can be individualized with three different display styles (Classic, Sporty, Discreet) and three modes (Navigation, Assistance, Service). The "Classic" style provides the driver with all relevant information. The "Sporty" style is instantly recognizable by its red accents and dynamic design for the central tachometer. With the "Discreet" style, only the most essential information is displayed. In addition, both displays can be shown in seven color schemes in conjunction with the ambient lighting. The result is an impressive color experience in the interior.
The "Off-Road Mode" in the current MBUX generation turns special content such as gradient, lateral inclination, compass and steering angle into a visual experience. Thanks to the standard Surround View system with 360‑degree camera, it offers the "transparent hood" function. When the Off-Road mode is active, the central display shows a virtual view under the front of the vehicle. This enables the driver to recognize obstacles in their path such as large rocks or deep potholes sooner and more easily.
The Off-Road Engineering Package, available for the GLS 580 4MATIC, includes an underride guard and in combination with the SUV’s standard AIRMATIC suspension, provides 1.2 inches more ground clearance.
All-wheel drive and a gear ratio designed for pulling power allow a tow capacity of up to 7,716 lbs and a tongue weight of up to 309 lbs. Helpful additional features for use when towing include Trailer Maneuvering Assist and the updated Trailer menu in the central display.

Perfect car for shopping at GoodWill.

Well done. Very informative.

Awesome video brother ♥️..,

Kirk! One day you and the fam will get a Maybach, get that coin, friend! Congrats! (Would love one of these for myself - my service dog would LOVE the back seats as well lol) Love the family content as always!

Maybe one day!

LOL, doing a Doug impression with the bounce mode!

What would your lease payment be on the GLS600?

[@KirkKreifels]

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[@wallbangerzsports]

more than your lifetime earnings

[@e.t.2230]

This is the exact exterior spec I’d get

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Kirk would you have this over a Century SUV? I think I would take the Century. But this thing is amazing. I have to give it to Maybavk for having that bouncing feature.😂

[@fadilrahman2157]

I don't know how, but after experiencing the interior of the new BMW 7 Series, this interior doesn't seem as futuristic as the former. Still highly luxurious

[@beepingbeep]

That looks nice

[@wallbangerzsports]

get your eyes checked Bozo

[@davidxavier1396]

FINALLY A BENZ FOR KIRK TO PIMP!! YES!!! hopefully more to come. You will get more used to the tech the more you use it. As for the door in the rear it sounded weird because it’s power open and close. The button for it is on the B Pillar. Try that and I’m sure it will open and close with pure aplomb.

[@wallbangerzsports]

We don't like German cars around these parts

[@cryptopimp5855]

GLS600 vs GX550 overtrail vs G63 ...what's you guys think...not that I can afford these lol

[@chibbyylol]

For the price of this one could get like 3x Gx550s lol

[@cryptopimp5855]

True lol I like all 3...I like to think of I actually won the lottery..which would be best choice

[@goldenaye3]

Why do you pronounce "MAY" as "MY" MY- BACH or MAY- BACH

[@squiggy4339]

So I'm confused as to why this car has a bounce feature on it! Does the 60+ crowd like this?? Well then there should be a GREAT market for for gold-plated, too-wide spoked wheels and low profile tires for this car! Apparently I've had the TOTALLY wrong impression of this crowd! 😆

[@MercOne]

The feature was intended to be used to free the car from mud, sand etc when stuck.

[@ASti_Spumante]

​@@MercOne you hit it on the head!!

[@archiegoodwinjr]

@@MercOne That is logical; therefore very Daimler Benz! I seem to have missed that explanation in this video.

Just wished it was a 2-door one but no it’s not a 2-door it’s a 4-Door 😊😊😊😊

[@gamzaify]

I need a rich person to actually tell me if they constantly store champagne in their cars to warrant the maybach having champagne glass holders

[@moeanthony9308]

Front of this looks like a Lincoln Aviator 10 years ago

[@wallbangerzsports]

Na more like a Dodge Stratus

[@BuRNingFLaN]

Very dated interior-- even the c class has the newer layout. Just wish Maybach wasnt just an Eddie Bauer trim-- make exclusive Maybach vehicles please🎉🎉🎉!

[@bigytv8392]

Does anyone else think it looks like a Lincoln?

[@wallbangerzsports]

Nope I think it looks like a Plymouth

[@faheemabbas3965]

This SUV’s design is everything wrong not only with Mercedes, but also with society. Insta car.

[@AlwaysL8FK8]

Peasants are not authorized by maybach to operate the ottoman 😉🤪

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Did you see that Trisha Paytas bought one of these and traded her RR Cullinan in as she wanted something less 'flashy'

[@wallbangerzsports]

Why would anyone have seen that? We have lives of our own to worry about

[@wallbangerzsports]

That's the geighist car I've ever seen

[@stephengneri2136]

I dont even know one person who could/would afford this.

That's because you're a peasant

How do they get away with open container law for the alcohol? Its illegal is most states to have open alcohol in cars!

[@barbecuetechtips6024]

Ahh yes the luxury skin deep, problems behind the enamel! Not impressed at all. You can get a car half the price that rivals the luxury. Get a v12 or don't bother.

[@yass123]

Fake Maybach. I'd get a 580 and keep the change. Doesn't deserve that 600 badge without a V12.

[@ASti_Spumante]

Respectfully the materials are different from a "regular GLS" quality control standard are higher as well.. I build the cockpit and center consoles in the plant. Whenever we first started building them only certain team members could even put parts on the truck and of course has a special team build them.. the engines come straight from Germany as well.

[@SurprisedCentaur-xh5cp]

Looks just like a Buick SUV and u save 120k

Cost $150,000 new. In two years, you can have one for $25,000. Please stick to Japanese car reviews. That’s why I follow your channel. Thanks.

[@chibbyylol]

The more kinds of vehicles he reviews, the bigger his channel can attract and get more vehicles sent his way to review

[@MercOne]

This car won't be 25K in two years. That's just total BS. I agree that he should stick to Japanese cars, he's totally out of his element here and the "review" was almost uncomfortable to watch.

I know, I think they are already 2 year old Maybachs on the market for 110k@@MercOne
