  • 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.
    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.
    The EPA has given the GLS600 fuel-economy ratings of 15 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. Those aren't particularly efficient estimates, but we're certain the big spenders who will be cross-shopping the GLS600 against the likes of the Bentley Bentayga and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan won't be too concerned with fuel efficiency. When we get a chance to test the GLS600, we'll take it on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route and update this story with the results.

    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 traveling 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.
