2023 Mercedes-Maybach GLS-Class
Starting at $171.150

Highs Lavish cabin, impossibly smooth ride, looks as expensive as it is.
Lows Costs the same as a midwestern starter home, regular GLS-class is more practical, may draw too much attention for undercover millionaires.
Verdict The Maybach GLS600 is your ticket to living your Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous fantasy.

Overview
If the idea of parking a Mercedes-Benz in the manicured driveway of your private villa seems too lowbrow, then perhaps Mercedes-Maybach ownership is within reach. The Maybach GLS600 is a luxed-up version of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-class SUV with a focus on exclusivity and extreme comfort. A twin-turbocharged V-8 provides ample power for wafting down the highway and the Maybach's suspension has been tuned to erase any road irregularities. Inside, there are acres of legroom in both rows of seats, and the setup is especially focused on pampering those in the rear, with reclining seats, massage features, and even an available beverage cooler. The GLS600 is an SUV for kicking back and letting your driver worry about the traffic. After all, you have more important things to do, such as running your empire or unwinding after a day of dodging the paparazzi. For the rest of us, a Benz will have to do, since the Maybach's price puts it squarely in the realm of champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

What's New for 2023?
The GLS600 receives no updates for the 2023 model year, but a styling facelift is on the horizon for 2024.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
GLS600: $171,150
If you're in the market for a high-dollar luxury SUV, you're hardly going to listen to the likes of us when deciding which options to order. Plus, Mercedes-Maybach is making most things standard, including a semi-autonomous driving mode, nappa leather upholstery, and handsome interior and exterior trimmings. We'd suggest perusing the numerous personalization options, though, to really make the GLS600 your own.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The GLS600's twin-turbocharged V-8 makes 558 horsepower and can motivate the big luxury SUV from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, according to Mercedes-Maybach. The engine is assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system that gives a little extra shove right from the start. If that's not fast enough for you, check out the Mercedes-AMG GLS63, which offers a 603-hp version of this powertrain and leaped to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds at our test track. During our initial test drive, we came away impressed with both its silky-smooth ride quality and its confident handling. An air suspension is standard, and it features a Maybach mode that all but erases bumps in the road.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
While the regular Benz-branded GLS-class SUV is a three-row affair, the Maybach GLS600 offers just two rows, both of which offer heat and massage functions. The rear seats are the place to be; with acres of legroom and two power-adjustable recliner seats, riding in the back is akin to traveling in the fanciest first-class airline cabins. A three-across bench is also offered, but c'mon, the executive treatment is what this SUV is all about. Nappa leather covers the dash, door panels, and seats, while real wood trim with a handsome pinstripe adds a touch of class. A fragrance diffuser helps occupants create the sensory oasis they deserve after a hard day of being filthy rich. Cargo capacity isn't as generous here as it is in the regular GLS-class since the rear seats are fixed and don't fold to accommodate larger items. Mercedes-Maybach says there's still about 19 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and will offer a handsome set of custom-fitted luggage.
