The 2023 Mercedes Benz Maybach GLS600 is not just the most expensive SUV you will find on the Nigerian road, but First-class travel takes on a fine form with the 2023 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. The standard-setting “S-Class of SUVs” is heightened with an exquisitely furnished, expansively indulgent cabin and a tapestry of luxury innovations.

The 2022 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 takes SUV luxury to massive heights and comes with nearly every available feature offered on the run-of-the-mill GLS models. The Maybach GLS 600 is also visually distinguished by its exterior featuring its own front grille design, along with copious amounts of metal mesh worked into the front of this imposing SUV.
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 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.
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 travelling 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.
