The Mercedes Maybach GLS 600 and its features: would you buy it 300 million naira?

Maybach is a German luxury car brand that exists today as a part of Mercedes-Benz. The original company was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach and his son, originally as a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, and it was known as Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH until 1999.

As of 2021, Daimler produces an ultra-luxury edition of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class under the Mercedes-Maybach name. The brand is now on the rise as the rich and the famous look for something that is not Rolls Royce or Bentley.

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 has been priced at around 300 million naira. It is the first SUV from the brand to get the 3-pointed star on the hood. Executive bench seats on the 2nd row get 93 MMS more space than GLS. Maybach GLS 600 is equipped with air suspension for maximum ride comfort.

It is a car that offers the luxury of the S-class, the muscle of the GLS and of course the opulence of the Maybach brand. No wonder within no time, it has become the chosen set of wheels of the rich and famous.

On the exterior, there is enough for you to differentiate this car from the Mercedes-Benz GLS, on which it is based. Apart from Maybach branding all over, this is also the first SUV from the brand to get the 3- pointed star on the hood. It is also 15 mm higher and 31 mm wider primarily because of the big 22-inch wheels it comes with.

There is extensive use of chrome on the grille on the huge number of vertical slats. The same is the case with the chrome inserts on the skid plate as well.

The SUV also gets LED headlamps and adaptive LED tail lamps, which add some more character. There is more chrome on the profile, especially on the B-pillar, which is really likeable.

Maybach GLS 600 is all beauty inside. One of those cars that you are even scared to touch the insides lest you dirt the Nappa leather upholstery.   There is an auto-retracting footboard here which pops out the moment you open the door.
