Mercedes-Maybach GLS review with max speed on the Autobahn! 😱

Need help buying your next car? Click the following link and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson! bit.ly/-Help-Me-carwow
.............................................................
This is the Mercedes-Maybach GLS!
It’s the ultra-luxurious (& ultra-expensive!) version of Mercedes’ largest SUV, and Mat’s here to see if it’s really worth the eye-watering £160,000 starting price!
Now, of course, the GLS may be powerful, but you don’t pick a Maybach for performance… You choose it for the incredible interior! And trust us, this GLS doesn’t disappoint. Name an in-car mod-con, and you can guarantee it’s got it. From super-reclinable back seats to a fridge and built-in champagne flutes, the Maybach GLS is built so passengers can travel in pure comfort.
Of course, the luxury doesn’t end with the back seats! Although the dash and features up-front may mirror the standard GLS, this version has been elevated, with Maybach badging and leather found throughout… Even the door bins are lined with it! What’s more, you’ll find a load of styling upgrades on the outside too, from the bespoke Maybach grille up front to the chrome rear bumper at the back.
Peer under the bonnet and the Maybach can still pack a punch, with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 & a small electric motor combining to produce 558hp & 730Nm of torque. But then again, it needs that power when it weighs in at 2.8 tonnes!
So - is it worth the hefty price tag? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

The cars Mercedes (and Maybach) do. So it really is appalling that they can't make an effort and even think up any NAMES for their models! Try explaining to your friends which one you have! This of course applies to other makes, but RENAULT did manage this! No more Renault 4's, 5's, 6, R8, R10, 12,14,16 19,21,,25, etc.! Just CLIOS , MEGANES, TWINGOS, CAPTURES, KOLIOS models, etc.

Quality doesn't compare with Bentley and Rolls-Royce - which is why they cost more.

[@100mcreations6]

@@modfus brand reputation bro..

[@modfus]

@@100mcreations6 No doubt Mercedes has much broader brand recognition - they make everything from trucks to hatchbacks - so sure, they have strong brand reputation across a much wider range of people. Most people will never own a Rolls-Royce or Bentley, they make no apologies for their exclusivity. Mercedes-Benz is a far more accessible brand.

[@v5k456jh3]

@@modfus Maybach is about as accessible as a Bentley m8

[@Meow-ee9zo]

@@modfus I think the Maybach is the better car for being chauffeured around in since it seems to have the most space in the back, but quality/luxurywise the RR and Bentley are still miles ahead. And if the jetset wants a car to be chauffeured in they'll just get a Phantom or (used to get a) Mulsanne instead of these SUV's

😂😂 thats a joke right? You know the U in SUV is 'utility' right? Cant even fold the back seats, weighs the same as the moon, has white leather, shit range etc. Nothing utility about it, nor does it have much sporty about it because its tall, heavy with soft suspension. So, out of the SUV name, its shit at the S and the U bits. 🤷‍♂️ Its a limo on stilts. At that, its great, but its a terrible SUV.

Definitely the best looking luxury SUV in my opinion. It looks elegant, especially with the silver/black two tone but more sporty and athletic than the Bentayga and Cullinan. It's also more modern which might not help long term reliability but definitely everyday usability.

[@xubarney1326]

idk...the bentayga is said or marketed to be more sportier or athletic and quite is in my opinion

best looking? loll this suv competes against proper range rover do u really think this looks better than a range rover?

[@ivanv2551]

Best looking ? Yeah no. 2 versions of an engine lower ? No 8 seats ? Bulky space in the cabin ? Not worth it
