2022 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 review: It's $300k cheaper than a Rolls!

- You're welcome - I've just saved you $300,000! How? The Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 is a cut-price version of the big and luxurious Rolls-Royce Cullinan. While it may not use a V12 engine, it does have a pretty punchy twin-turbocharged V8. Is it any good? Paul Maric finds out.

#mercedes #maybach #review - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Excellent review Paul. Love this GLS Maybach. I reviewed the GLS 580 and it’s interior is truly phenomenal - massage, seat kinetics, and energizing comfort are my best features. I really need to find someone to help me film like you!
Your reviews are excellent! Paul you are the one who reviews in detail and you only talks about the car And no other talks a great support to you, can you please review the Toyota Innova crysta
Heart warming to see that bugs stick to Maybach front decal as well as to ' 98 Corolla's.
Thanks for the review mate... the interior is absolutely georgous!
That's outrageous that it doesn't offer wireless smart phone mirroring when some dirt cheap cars do.
Dirt Cheap Cars : 😎😎😎
Do you mean apple carplay?? wtf is smart phone mirroring and who uses that?
@@Tomoyo0827 everyone in a modern car uses it.
@@dirtygore lol not everyone's uses it
Yes, even my wife’s Skoda has wireless smart phone mirroring!
Nice in black 🔥
Review 👌👍 as always
Great review as always, Paul. I hate SUVs as a rule, but if I had to have one, I'd probably have to go with one of these...
These must be marketed to Miami Drug cartel owners to be driven around in, when is too much bling too much! Great review as always Paul.
I am owning one of these car
Great review Paul, the suspension feature is awesome.
Is it only me or is it in general, the exterior is so bling and the front looks terrible, something like an after market work. Exterior and interior are Mike's apart.
Amazing detail video
fun to watch these machines which I could only afford in dreams.
Do these vehicles (Range Rover, Rolls Royce etc) include noise cancellation through the speakers? My 2008 Accord V6 Luxury had it and it reduced the cabin noise levels by 10dB.
moving up in the world of car reviews
It kind of looks like they have thrown the Autobarn Christmas catalogue of body enhancing chrome and mesh at it. Pretty vulgar if I'm honest. That said the body control and ride comfort as shown looks truly sumptuous.
It doesn’t really come with enough speakers tbh.. is there an option to get
another 20 ?
8:14 That guy's window.. lol
What an eye watering price! 😮
That’s my Dream SUV Right there with all the expensive options have the white interior an the head liner make it Blue
Its quite crazy how they can afford this stuff!!
Two videos in a matter of days? Christmas has come early!
The disco sport and kia ev6 videos were back to back
What's with the bad stitch job/damage on the lower spoke of the steering wheel at 5:10?
What advantages does this motorcar have over a train, which I could also afford
😂😂😂
Slightly better turning circle.
It can get you to every corner of Dingo Piss Station 1000kms beyond the last vestige of civilisation faster than a horse.
you have no idea how much a train cost do you? lol
@@Tomoyo0827
Neither do I care. Not even a tiny bit. Not whether you could afford one or twenty one of them. You are an irrelevance.
Excellent, I'm getting one to tow my van upto the Cape, then across the Gibb
This is what an almost $400k car looks like inside??? Gosh, for that kind of money, I was expecting a bit more... That's an insane amount of money 😖
It would have looked ok for the price if you had like a gazillion buttons and nobs in their and you would swim in your never ending journey of discovering all its quirks and features but unfortunately the screen makes it look like any other interior
in 5 years pick one up half price with likely half the eletronics broken. Good quality brand Mercedes is. 😆
100% Kyle!
We don't really know. They're using a new suspension set up. It isn't riding on air springs.
@@dragospahontu These days any car made in Europe shits itself after warranty ends. the engineers design the cars to only last that long. we live in such a disposable world now days.
@@kylegriffiths5990 not really TDI is solid. This Mercedes-Benz is for the elite only.
Appreciate your content .how about the AMG GLE 63 S REVIEW
Can you fully open window in the second row?
I am here to just remind you to consider adding the horn sound in your reviews Paul. Thanks.
Tuned in from Nairobi. Never misses his reviews!
Should've reviewed it in a tux
This is my dream car
Does it have iso fix points?
They would sell a heap of these if they priced them at $80k, lol.
Probably wont make any money silly boy
Their already selling heaps of their maybachs with the prices they have them at.
Well that’s just a stupid thing to say, there’s a reason why they sell yachts for no less than 10 million rather than a couple hundred thousand
Am I the only one who thinks Paul looks like a younger version of Slobodan Milosevic?
It is the car for the "king of the campsite" that pulls the largest caravan, and which has the highest grip on its glass.
Wow it has a 2022 kia sportage screen, I know which one I would buy with 300k change left over
This car really sips fuel especially when carsales tested the Yaris GR at 13l per 100km😂
Doesn't matter if it's 350000 or 3500 that front grill combo is questionable.
Whilst one's chauffeur would in all probability prefer a Rolls Royce as his master's Statement Car, this Mercedes Maybach would in all probability be approved for driving to the milk bar or one's Gulfstream IX Business Jet
Looks like you will have to buy a personal car cleaner along with the car to keep shine on the piano blacks and the chrome elements 😂😂
Amazing work Paul and Team , keep those reviews flowing .... Regarding the car , they focused on engineering and ride comfort ... Looks wise these cars look meh ... Nothing striking about them except for their size .
Funny you should say that...boss-type man from my office building had a guy detail his M850i every month and it only cost $250.
@@Tomoyo0827 That guy who cleans should fight for minimum wage lol
"These cars look meh" You don't know what you are talking about
Can you please do a review of 2022 palisade
How many seaters or rows?
interesting there is no panic button on the remote. for such a high end car would have thought safety is paramount. there is one on a toyota camry
I’d hate to think how much tyres would cost for that thing
Some people are smart enough to make money and dumb enough to spend on cars like this.
Yo pls review the 2021 Renault Koleos Intens
How many of these maybachs will you be buying?
No one wants a Renault
@@felix_five Bro its for all the peasants up here. Do u honestly think they'll be allowed to drive Maybachs?
@@HughRussell06 Already bought 10. Currently on a ship from Germany but may take a few months. Till then, I think my 20 running bodyguards should be good enough.
@@kimjong-un9535 I thought only government officials and important people were allowed to own cars in North Korea
Wow Mercedes’ made a bbq you can drive
Hey Paul can you please do a G Wagon review
No matter how cheap this is Rolls is a Rolls is a Rolls
7:19 how did you get my number, Paul?
This or the Bentley SUV? Which do you prefer?
This. The craftsmanship and the build quality is top notch. And the bentayga isnt a good car,the best bentley currently is the flying spur.
Yeah, the out of focus HUD, no wireless mirroring/crap screen integration does not represent 300,000 dollar quality.
Most HUDs are out of focus if they reflect off the windscreen as the windscreen is made of two sheets of glass laminated so you get double reflections. Without special and carefully designed engineering you can’t have it clear - certainly not from all angles unless it adjusts as you move your head position. This is why some manufacturers use pop up ones.
@@jerrymyahzcat fair call, wasnt aware of the intricacies involved with HUD’s in cars. With that said, I still feel for the price you pay for the vehicle, this shouldnt fall into the “most” and instead should be one of the “few” that gets it right
@@jerrymyahzcat the HUD in the mazdas that have them are perfection. Funny that a 40k car had a better HUD than a 300k car.
@@dirtygore Mazda uses a pop up rather than projecting on the double glazed windscreen.
Wow tomorrow I am going to trade in my old Mazda 3
Hello Where's engine number located?
Another wicked review, thank you! This is absolute porn on wheels this car…
So the more expensive an SUV the worse it looks 🤔
Would not pay this much for this shape and specs
i love how you spend $300k on a car where your entire cluster is a cheap tablet lol
He is like carwow because he does the same thing
I want the red two tone with purple 🥴🔥🔥🔥💯 damn 🔜
Yeah I dunno, still a lot of hard black plastics around the cabin, not just for that money but for the Maybach badge/claim!
If it goes fully Maybach u won't pay for it
wher's the back seats man
The reason they do not replace the Mercedes badge with Maybach is because Maybach is no longer considered as brand and it has merged in to a range of products within Mercedes.
Yep, Maybach is basically a trim level for M-B these days.
Gaudy with a capital G! The new Range Rover so much classier.
suction door.... lol this the correct term is soft close
As MercBenzKing says, "soft close doors of course " !
my man has viber on apple carplay
I like super luxury opulent cars like this but I can't shake the feeling that they are just a huge con. Sure, you get a nice car but rich people are charged stupid amounts of money for paint, interior trim and other options which are just staggeringly overpriced. You're probably thinking "yeah who cares, they can afford it" yeah sure they can but if I was in the market for a luxury car, I wouldn't want to be completely ripped off. Plus, they depreciate so quickly in value and there's always a new model around the corner which they're going to buy straight away. They're taken for mugs. Not that I care, I just want to make the point as a guy who will never be able to afford this.
When you can afford a GLS 600, you do not count cup holders as convenience of any sort
That's not a Maybach it's a Mercedes Maybach so it's worth it, Maybachs were discontinued because they were not selling to well
Review the new range rover!
Think I might buy a plane instead
$360,000 car that will be on Carsales in 3 years' time for $20,000
Lol what are you on? I want some !
07:20 "Sexy Mumma" 😆
That paint has an awful lot of orange peel! Also that 'chrome' is not chrome at all. It is chrome tape/transfer over plastic. Our GLS 500 was less than two years old when the fake chrome garnish around the tailpipes started peeling off.
The natty damage/stitching on the steering wheel spoke is also terrible.. (5:10).
The ultimate baller car
I think I might buy 50 Mazda 3's instead
Whaaat?! No remote start?? That’s disappointing for a 350k car.
yeah
That's it, I'm selling my kidney for one of these
I may be on my own here but I think coloured LED lights cheapens a car like this
It weighs over 3 tons, you said 2.5, that would be the non Maybach GLS.
I'll take a Rolls instead...
Not sure who will buy this? No chance to compare with other competitors in this price range.
Fixing this shatter on iphone will cost as much as new iphone, you should really consider Android device, they are way better and cheaper to fix.
I like its face
$360K for 4 seats! Wow. I'll keep me better specced and much better handling BMW X7 Thank you. As they say you can polish a t=+d but it's still a t=*d!
x7 is also an overrated pos… be a man and get an Isuzu
Huge grill and a lot of chrome looks very outdated, yuck. Skinny and inbuilt indicators should be illegal, I know it's the trend but they're hard to see especially in direct sunlight.
If I bought one, the first thing I’d do would be a full chrome delete
Unless tires and wheels as well if you were to take it anywhere out of the city.
I would like to borrow it and drive by soup kitchens throwing truffles at the homeless.
They should use smaller rims and thicker tyres if they are serious about prioritizing comfort over looking like a newly rich moron driving it.
Surprised at how ugly they made the exterior. I would just get the non-Maybach version as th standard car looks great. This looks like an aftermarket "pimp my ride" offering. Not elegant or attractive. Having lots of money doesn't mean you have taste and Maybach is counting on it
I would prefer KIA Grand Carnival over this
Mercedes Maybach
A bit of a basic key
I’m sorry to say Paul but from the outside it actually looks like a Chinese knock-off of another brand! Is it just me or did anyone else think that too?
Agreed.
Yeah looks like shit.
You sold me on it. Tomorrow bye bye Mazda 3....
👍
I really don't get this car... like why? maybe it's just my perspective... but it's really a passenger kinda car... it's not really family car... you don't really want kids with all those buttons... the car is not really great to drive... in my opinion it's a car best as a passenger... but it's so tight at the back... why don't people just get those luxury converted sprinters... probably cheaper but much more comfortable.
Hmmmm.. dunno. Reminds me of a cashed up bogan lotto winner that wears too much jewellery all at once.
Like there's no getting away from the fact it's an SUV and they just simply are pleb mobiles with more or less bling.
China will adore this thing. Watch it depreciate almost as fast as Dan Andrews reputation.
Interior up front doesn’t look special at all. The chicken wire below the grille is hideous. A 600 Mercedes with a V8 is sacreligious. Are these American made too? My God.
Cheaper ? No. Less expensive
No spare tyre? Forget it mercedes! You missed out on my sale.
Shouldn't you get a more desirable car when you spend more money?
Why are they still making ICB’s when we all know! In 10 years time, it’s all going to be electric.
