Since the GLS Maybach is not available for configure anymore, can you tell me the suspension option on the car you tested? Airmatic or E-Active? I don't know if E-Active was standard on Maybach.Reviewed this Emerald green GLS 600 facelift for my channel, no major changes to experience. It’s as good as it was earlier especially on luxury & comfort. Suspension remains as the best, even better than much more expensive Cullinan & Bentayga, and almost similarly priced Range Rovers. The subtle changes on exterior is good improvement, especially in the front.
Im not posting my video here as its in my local language.

Two tone paint jobs rarely suits SUVs but look very good on the GLS.
That‘s something you can’t believe until you drive one.
As in the Bentayga and Cullinan, the buttons and stalks are a bit cheap.
On the other Hand the M177 is gorgeous.
The leather is on par with Bentley If you tick the right boxes.
If you want the best leather you have to order the white leather.
The car is very unpractical, you can’t fold the rear seats and the trunk is small.

It looks great with those chrome wheels and the chrome panels in the front with Maybach badge intakes looks ok.
Yes it does. The hardware is completely different. The rear dampers are softer.
The Maybach is about 200kg heavier than the normal GLS580, with less seats.
2.8t instead of about 2.6t.
That’s why they had to do it.
So the E-ABC in the GLS Maybach is made to be more floaty & effortless?
Yes exactly. But it’s not floaty at all, it’s softer on the manholes and stuff like this.
You can drive 23“ with the comfort of smaller wheels.

Really appreciate the level of information and experience you have with these high end MB suspension systems.
Just for clarity, the V12 Maybach runs the regular airmatic system fitted to most 450's and 580's correct? This system has no ability to 'pre-empt' road surfaces which is the case with E-ABC. It this understanding correct?
I guess the GLS Maybach is Cullinan level then
Thank you very much I really appreciate that
Exactly.
Technically yes, but of course with different settings because of the additional weight of the V12 engine.
The 223 Mopf can use cloud informations (gps) to prepare the suspension for bumps, but of course it’s not as precise as a 3D camera who measures the potholes.
That’s because there’s no 48V system, btw the w222 had the MBC with V8 and V12 because it used the serpentine belt for the hydraulic pump.
Imagine a V12 48v compatible GLS with torque pulling from 1800rpm till redline, OMGThank you very much I really appreciate that

So for the W223 they actually went backwards with the V12 models, reverting to airmatic.
I have no idea what a 'Sepentine belt is' but I wonder why was no solution persued for the W223.
Exactly.
It’s the belt in front of the engine, I don’t know how you call it.
V belt or serpentine belt was the translation I found in the internet.
Basically the hydraulic pump is connected to the engine the same way like the compressor of the air conditioning.
I guess they haven’t planned the V12 for the non guard S-Class originally, because the guard always has the air Matic because of the weight.
The V12 in the Z223 looks like an afterthought.
Why?

In November 2014, Daimler announced the revival of the Maybach name as a
sub-brand of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222), positioned as an upscale
version akin to the more sporty Mercedes-AMG sub-brand.
