2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS-Class
Starting at $175.500

Highs: Lap-of-luxury interior, impossibly smooth ride, eye-catching the two-tone exterior.
Lows: Priced for exclusivity, cargo space isn't as generous as the Benz model it's based on, nothing subtle about its Maybach-ness.
Verdict: The Maybach GLS600 is the SUV you buy when you simply cannot be bothered with something as plebeian as a Mercedes-Benz.

Overview

If you're winning the game of capitalism then an ultra-luxurious SUV like the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 might just appear on your new-car shopping list in place of models that are merely luxurious, like the Benz-branded GLS on which the Maybach is based. The difference between the two can be summed up with one word: opulence. Every inch of the GLS600's interior has been optimized for comfort and richness. The GLS's third row has been ditched here in favor of a four-seat layout with miles of legroom for rear-seat passengers. This SUV is meant for chauffeur duty because you're almost certainly far too busy running your empire to distract yourself with driving. The GLS600 is priced for exclusivity too, so you're unlikely to suffer something as gauche as pulling up behind another one at the valet stand, unless, of course, you've purchased a matching set. After all, if you can afford one GLS600, it's likely a second one isn't too hard on the budget.

What's New for 2024?
The GLS-class's most upscale variant gets a few styling enhancements for 2024 that increase its hype-beast appeal. The grille has been reworked slightly and the front air inlets on the bumper now carry a Maybach logo motif. A new 23-inch wheel design is available and new puddle lights project Maybach logos onto the ground to beckon passengers into the cabin when the doors are opened. Updated quilted leather upholstery covers the SUV's four sumptuous bucket seats and is available in two new dual-tone color schemes: Crystal White / Silver Gray Pearl or Mahogany Brown / Macchiato Beige.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The GLS600's twin-turbocharged V-8 makes 550 horsepower and can motivate the big luxury SUV from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 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 leapt 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.
