GLS [Official] Mercedes-Benz GLS (X167)

Very interesting.

 

[HUTSUTAo]

A webpage from Croatia had an article about the new Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, which was removed very quickly from their webpage

There was no mention about a V12, but they said that this vehicle is powered by a 4.0L V8
with 550 hp(558 ps) and 730 nm torque(538 lb⋅ft) + the 48V electrical system that adds 21 hp(22 ps) and 250 nm torque(184 lb ft).[...

Wonder how the 580 and 600 coexist in the market?

We need separate threads for both the GLS63 and Maybach versions.
cramming all this info in one thread makes it inconvenient having to fish through for press release data, new pics and articles.

The live stream from Guangzhou just started.

I think this is an concert
The car presentation will come after it
look its the new GLS with new wheels new grill and some more space and info for the back with the same engine or we will get V12?

 

[Shellshock]

So they kept the same wobble Thermatronic on the front and the same plastic wobble P button from the Gle/Gls
ultimate luxury..with some attention to details aka VW/mazda level

GLS 600 is V8

So clearly it's just a GLS with fancy trim and business class seats.

But that was the plan all along.

Those back seats look royal.

Looks like this is MB's answer to the M50i engine from BMW. The MB has more hp, and the BMW more torque......shouldn't that be the other way around looking at history? LOL

Looks like the 3rd row seats were eliminated for the extra room at the rear.

Good, because the 3rd row is utterly useless in all these cars: GLE, X5, GLS and X7. And with utterly useless I am not even kidding. There is no point in having these seats. It's cramped like hell.

 

[braaf]

I'm probably gonna get chastised for this but the interior doesn't look very special. Maybe there are more variants that we will see at a later stage that might look better.

You can continue the discussion of the new Mercedes-Maybach GLS in the corresponding official thread:

Disagree. I found the GLS and X7 to be fine for 5’10 adult.

Only the AMG V8, not sure why anyone would have thought differently. I thought the V12 is now dead, meaning no more new products with it, and only the S650 keeps it, at least the last few months of this generation.

What has always intrigued me, is how does Pagani get it?

I love these wheels on the AMG GT 4-door, but cannot handle them on the GLS.

I prefer them in silver rather than black and I think they suit this vehicle well. The multi spoke wheels on the Maybach GLS are brilliant and totally in a different league to the monoblock for looks. This GLS 63 does look suitably mean as hell.

The 600 has 50kw more power and 30nm more torque than the 580 and it fills the gap nicely between the 580 and AMG 63 in terms of power. Mercedes have played their cards perfectly with these 2 top line models. Rich folks now have a great choice with either the super luxurious Maybach GLS 600 and the super fast and sporty AMG 63
