    Ambient lighting has become a prominent feature in modern cars, superseding the engine as a key selling point.

    Sounded more like an advert that car journalism. The way they talk up some of the features, that are extremely dull/or obnoxiously ostentatious, just because they have their rep there, seems very disingenuous. There may some people who genuinely like the styling and features, but the polite way to phrase it is "contentious" or "polarising", because I'd wager there are a lot of people who don't like it and think it's a waste, myself included.

And I think Mercedes/Maybach are trying TOO hard with branding everywhere. With a Rolls Royce or Bentley, you DON'T NEED to repeatedly state who you are, you just have the delightful lady on your bonnet/hood, the self righting logos on the wheels and that's pretty much it, Bentley is the same... Maybach? Logo, logo brand, logo, brand, logo and more logos....

    I love Mercedes, I want to own a Mayback someday in my life, but this car looks to much like the EQS SUV, and it's just MEH 😕 it needs presence, masculinity and more straight lines...

    It's pretty much the same interior as the GLS.

    Sorry I 100% disagree with this blobby eye-watering ugly re-badged Mercedes.
    May as well put nice seats in a Mercedes Van snd save yourself a few hundred thousand pounds. True quality is the All Electric Rolls-Royce.
