Mercedes-Maybach GLS

How it looks when you see on the street: There’s a whole mood to the GLS, and its evident from first looks and the precise ribbing on its sparkly wheels.

How it makes you feel when you get in: Swanky, spacious, and a tad self conscious of all the extraness. We’re writing this review from an airline’s first class cabin, and the GLS exceeds in comfort and better functioning massage functions.

How it drives: GLS is a potent driving experience. It glides along handling this unapologetic power with ease. It literally glides on the road due to a feature embedded in the suspension. It has a big able-bodied V8 engine, which one day not so far away — will be a thing of the past to compensate for fuel consumption, which stands at 16 miles per gallon. That engine produces 558 horsepower and moves this big vehicle from 0 to 6 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds.

Space for people and things: All the space your heart desires for a two-row SUV — this interior is massive and amply appointed.

Best Features: The fit and finish from the outside is something to behold.

What makes it stand out: All that old-fashioned sparkle in that old Maybach crest, which harkens back to the art deco days of automotive luxury.

What should you compare it to: Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the Bentley Bentayga.
