Is the 2024 Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 the KING of full size luxury SUVs?

The new Maybach GLS 600 raises the bar for luxury SUVs. On the outside you will find a new grill, Mercedes hood ornament and 23in forged wheels. On the inside there is tons of leather, executive seating and a fridge. Under the hood is a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 the KING of full size luxury SUVs?

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

I went back and forth doing test drives and reading reviews of all the higher end SUV's. It was a close call with the Maybach, but I ultimately went with the fully loaded Kia Soul. 12% APR is steep, but the e-z 96 month loan, full tank of gas, and free car washes for a year made it all worthwhile.

[@RaitisRides]

I see what you did there Bobby!

[@calebhogue2619]

Lol the Toaster on wheels!

[@rafiulrasheen4738]

96 month loan? 12% apr? for a kia??? you’re smokin straight colombian crack

[@liberty4175]

No reliability though

[@MsBaztastic]

😂😂😂 too funny

[@kickstand801]

Here's a zonk that I would include: the badges. If this version of the mercedes is based on Maybach, then replace the Silver Star badge with the Maybach badge. That would really allow this car to stand out from the competition, and it's other German counterparts. Other than that, what a sweet looking ride!!!!

[@phantombru]

Maybach is no longer a seperate brand. Mercedes made Its top luxury Sub-brand similar to AMG

[@BillionaireDreamsCeo]

I agree I said that before

[@nitroseltzer2442]

I think the badges would work out perfectly if instead of having the gift wrap style logos on the front bottom panels, they instead have 1 larger logo that stands out. Add some led for night. It honestly just looks cheap.

Mercedes is killing it so far in 2023; their sales are up, and they have more profit per car than any other major car company. By keeping going upmarket and making ridiculously expensive, but readily serviced vehicles, they are winning big. the other luxury marks have no repair network, so a wealthy person is going to pick Mercedes a lot of the time for the convenience.
