The Maybach GLS600 is the most luxurious Mercedes SUV currently on sale and the Maybach S-Class of SUVs. It was introduced for the 2021 model year and is based on the current generation of Mercedes-Benz's three-row full-size SUV. Powering the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque assisted by a 48-volt mild hybrid system and paired to a nine-speed automatic gearbox sending power to all four wheels. It can launch from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and is capable of a top speed of around 130 mph. Distinct exterior traits of the Maybach GLS600 compared to other versions of the GLS consist of a unique Maybach grille inspired by that of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept, a traditional Mercedes-Benz Three-Pointed Star hood ornament, Maybach badges on the D-pillars, exclusive alloy wheel options, and additional chrome trim. Air suspension is standard on the Maybach GLS600 along with a Maybach mode that tunes the suspension to practically not allow anyone in the vehicle to feel any bumps in the road. Inside, the Maybach GLS600's cabin is like that of a first-class flight, especially the rear seats, adorned in the finest leather and wood trim. It offers only two rows of seats, and the rear seats come with tons of legroom, reclining functions, folding tray tables, and a mini fridge between the two rear seats. The Maybach GLS600 has the least amount of cargo space out of all versions of the GLS, coming in at around 19 cubic feet behind the rear seats, primarily due to the mini fridge and rear seats being fixed in place. In addition, many examples of the Maybach GLS600 are fitted in two-tone exterior paint schemes, such as the one pictured in this post in dark red and black.
Pricing for the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 starts at close to $175,000. The example pictured in this post marked the first Maybach GLS600 I have ever seen in person, which occurred early last month and approximately three years since the Maybach GLS600 first went on sale. I have also seen two or three other examples of the Maybach GLS600 in person since I took these photos early last month, but I was unable to take photos of those other examples because I was behind the wheel when I saw them. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the Maybach GLS600 is the least common version of Mercedes-Benz's three-row full-size SUV by far, while I have seen plenty more standard GLS' and at least a handful of AMG GLS63s in person so far. Overall, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is an amazing and intriguing ultra-luxury SUV best known for being one of the most comfortable and plush vehicles on the market today.
