How Luxurious Is The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600?

As an ultra-luxury vehicle, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 dazzles with theatricality and eye-popping prices. Its exterior is covered in Maybach badges and glittering chrome trim. Our car came painted in two-tone Obsidian Black and Rubellite Red paint for an additional $18,500 and ultra-cool 23-inch Maybach Forged Monoblock wheels, which are optioned for $6,000. The model-specific grille has Maybach badging, as does the tailgate, which keeps the GLS600 looking distinct from its Benz-branded or AMG-tuned GLS-Class siblings.
Step up to the gargantuan SUV, and it greets you with an animated projection of the Mercedes-Maybach logo. Opening the door reveals a second set of puddle lights displayed in a repeating pattern. Automatic running boards, which tuck into the underside of the GLS600 when the doors are closed, deploy for ease of ingress and egress. The act of approaching this Mercedes-Maybach alone makes you feel like a million bucks.
If the outside of the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a performance, the interior is like expensive box seating. Once you slide into the well-bolstered driver's seat, there are tons of comfort and entertainment features at your fingertips. While you're getting settled in the car for the first time, Mercedes-Maybach offers a choice to automatically position your seat based on your height. It works to mixed results depending on your preferences, but it's still a creative way to tailor the interior's ergonomics to the individual.
Our car is outfitted with a pair of reclining executive rear seats, so once everyone is buckled up, they're able to treat themselves to a massage in the heated and ventilated chairs. Other non-standard swanky amenities (and their prices) include a beautifully crafted two-tone leather steering wheel with a wooden rim ($600), a Champagne fridge ($1,100), and folding tray tables for the rear seats ($1,800). A standard 27-speaker Burmester 3D surround-sound audio arrangement provides the quality and fullness your favorite tunes deserve.
It's hard to complain about such a lavish cabin that's covered from the floor to ceiling with leather and trimmed with stunning natural-grain brown walnut wood panels. But if we must, one gripe (which is common to other Mercedes products) is the infotainment system isn't quite as intuitive to operate as we'd like, and flicking through the various menus with the thumb pads on the steering wheel or the trackpad on the center console can be frustrating. Using the touchscreen is the best way to go, but that involves leaning forward and getting fingerprints on the screen. It's a small nitpick of an otherwise outstanding interior.
