Maybach EQS SUV First Look: The FINEST Maybach Ever? | 4K

Is this a review or an advert?

[@GadgetsBoy]

Says first look in the title so obvs an overview for us to see what it’s about

[@cwakefield11]

@@GadgetsBoy it’s more about the tone than anything else. Don’t you think it’s a bit sus that journalists get flown over, put up in nice hotels and get to spend time with a senior manager responsible for the project? To me, good journalism is objective.

[@GadgetsBoy]

@Cyrus Wakefield you know your so-called subjective journalists get flown to cover exclusive subjects all the time. Brands don't have a say over what you say. This is neither biased nor unbiased, just a simple news piece. This is not an argument, by the way. This is a normal process, especially with exclusive cars like this.

[@simonj8174]

Was this just someone reading out the press kit highlights

[@nathan_middleton_]

Sounded more like an advert that car journalism. The way they talk up some of the features, that are extremely dull/or obnoxiously ostentatious, just because they have their rep there, seems very disingenuous. There may some people who genuinely like the styling and features, but the polite way to phrase it is "contentious" or "polarising", because I'd wager there are a lot of people who don't like it and think it's a waste, myself included.

[@alko_xo]

I’m terribly sorry, but the more I watch this video the more I want to ask - is it prank?

I still think all Maybach models should change Mercedes logos for Maybach logos. Would differentiate them much better.

[@flat6gts]

I agree, there are too many Mercedes logo to remind you this is just a trim level. But then again I personally think the Maybach logo is really ugly, like what a child could draw - history be damned.

[@FRANKWHITE1996]

Ambient lighting has become a prominent feature in modern cars, superseding the engine as a key selling point. In the past, the focus was primarily on the performance of the vehicle's engine, but now, the ambiance created by the lighting has become a major factor in the overall driving experience. 😅

[@reececollison5101]

It’s a fantastic way of distracting your attention from the crap build quality 😆

[@MaticTheProto]

@@reececollison5101 maybe Tesla should look into interior lighting then, no? Also that isn’t true, in the bmw ix some of the lights accidentally highlight cheap plastic parts. Unfortunate since overall material quality there is good

[@jeffs6090]

Other than Porsche and Volvo. Not sure why they don't have it. Wish they did.

[@colingrubbs2916]

The ambient lighting idea was first introduced on the 2005 S-Class W221 model series the idea behind it was to provide a more relaxing atmosphere for the driver and passengers and to light up the interior so you would not be driving in a dark car.

Personally it looks way too brash to the point where it looks cheap.

Are they even serious? They should focus on making decent normal Evs to even compete with Tesla for example, maby they simply cannot do anything about that so they focus on jokes like this one... This is a nice luxurious suv/minivan for people who want toys and exclusivity but even for that I'd pick a Bentley for example

[@rickmorty7284]

Yea the engines are at least 70% of what made these cars special. Knowing that it took a lot of work to build that big V12 gave you a sense that the car was special. I'm really not sure what makes these generic electric powertrains special enough to justify the high cost of this vehicle.

[@MarkelTherapist]

The exterior is giving me Honda vibes. I don't know why

[@rg6982]

Nah Honda looks way better

[@Koulis_]

Looks like they are aiming at Lexus with the vulgarity of the exterior design. I'm sure the important Chinese market is part of the reason that these designs are moving away from the clean and purer shapes that used to be more prevalent in Europe.

[@davewinst1]

Shame maybach are just a glorified trim level these days rather than a standalone unique platform. They need to go back to their roots for me and go down the coach-build route. You can’t deny the luxury on offer but just missing that stateliness.

[@KamoheloRamone]

That's because Maybach doesn't exist anymore. Mercedes owns the name

Don't like the looks of the thing either. And I think Mercedes/Maybach are trying TOO hard with branding everywhere. With a Rolls Royce or Bentley, you DON'T NEED to repeatedly state who you are, you just have the delightful lady on your bonnet/hood, the self righting logos on the wheels and that's pretty much it, Bentley is the same... Maybach? Logo, logo brand, logo, brand, logo and more logos.... 😎🇬🇧

[@angelscompany111]

I love this car ♥Impressive

[@PrenumeNume-oh1yi]

In 2021 when Maybach presented that red/black car with wonderful headlights, beautiful rearlight, gorgeous seats and spaceship steerwheel I wanted to buy one, but now this car doesn't have anything that the 2021 car has. If Maybach wants to sell that red/black car from 2021 I can buy it for 300k euros. For this car I don't give nothing.
