2022 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 review: It's $300k cheaper than a Rolls!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

You're welcome - I've just saved you $300,000! How? The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a cut-price version of the big and luxurious Rolls-Royce Cullinan. While it may not use a V12 engine, it does have a pretty punchy twin-turbocharged V8. Is it any good? Paul Maric finds out.

    Excellent review Paul. Love this GLS Maybach. I reviewed the GLS 580 and it’s interior is truly phenomenal - massage, seat kinetics, and energizing comfort are my best features. I really need to find someone to help me film like you!

    Most HUDs are out of focus if they reflect off the windscreen as the windscreen is made of two sheets of glass laminated so you get double reflections. Without special and carefully designed engineering you can’t have it clear - certainly not from all angles unless it adjusts as you move your head position. This is why some manufacturers use pop up ones.

Sure, you get a nice car but rich people are charged stupid amounts of money for paint, interior trim and other options which are just staggeringly overpriced. You're probably thinking "yeah who cares, they can afford it" yeah sure they can but if I was in the market for a luxury car, I wouldn't want to be completely ripped off. Plus, they depreciate so quickly in value and there's always a new model around the corner which they're going to buy straight away. They're taken for mugs. Not that I care, I just want to make the point as a guy who will never be able to afford this.

    I really don't get this car... like why? maybe it's just my perspective... but it's really a passenger kinda car... it's not really family car... you don't really want kids with all those buttons... the car is not really great to drive... in my opinion it's a car best as a passenger... but it's so tight at the back... why don't people just get those luxury converted sprinters... probably cheaper but much more comfortable.

    I’m sorry to say Paul but from the outside it actually looks like a Chinese knock-off of another brand! Is it just me or did anyone else think that too?

    Hmmmm.. dunno. Reminds me of a cashed up bogan lotto winner that wears too much jewellery all at once. Like there's no getting away from the fact it's an SUV and they just simply are pleb mobiles with more or less bling. China will adore this thing. Watch it depreciate almost as fast as Dan Andrews reputation.

    Shouldn't you get a more desirable car when you spend more money?

    Why are they still making ICB’s when we all know! In 10 years time, it’s all going to be electric.

    Interior up front doesn’t look special at all. The chicken wire below the grille is hideous. A 600 Mercedes with a V8 is sacreligious. Are these American made too? My God.
