Hey guys and welcome to the channel! My name is Nick O'Leary now this week I've got something
very very rare indeed to share with you all! Now Mercedes-Benz of course known for their
luxury models and in the UK starting from about £25k brand new
what happens if you spend 8x that amount?
I'm glad you asked let me show you...
This is the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 and starting from £165k, it's a head turner for sure! Now
this one if I'm not mistaken has every option ticked totalling the on the OTR price of £206k!
So today let's run through the top ten things you need to know about a Mercedes-Maybach GLS.
So then guys what is Mercedes-Maybach? Well quite simply Daimler who own Mercedes-Benz
also owns some sub-brands as well. So these can include Mercedes-AMG if you fancied a very high
performing car and sometimes the fastest and noisiest cars found in Mercedes-Benz.
Then we've got Mercedes-EQ which seems to be where it's all going, going All-Electric,
so that's the Mercedes-EQ range then there's the Smart range also known as Smart cars
in a Fortwo & Forfour, these are kind of very small electric cars designed for urban city
driving. But then on the opposite end of the scale is the Mercedes-Maybach.
So when it comes to one of these, Maybach hold nothing back
expect First Class attention to detail across every single inch of the car whether it be
from the front, the reclining seats or even the mats and the sheer number of badges on the car.
And speaking of the badges I've just spent a few minutes just going around and counting them all
and I'm pretty sure i just counted 29 of these
so as if the big Mercedes-Benz badge and the Maybach badge on the front
weren't enough...the Maybach symbol there's about 29 of them on this car alone which is just insane!
So I guess to shout out to everyone what you drive and what you own,
what better way to do it I guess? These can be found on the rear quarters, the
pedals themselves the touchpad, the screens oh and on the electric running boards.
Oh did I not mention? This car also has electric running boards!
Yes this has electrically extending running boards! So as long as it's enabled on the
multimedia system when you unlock and open the door they'll present themselves just like this.
Oh and of course a Maybach logo on there for good measure!
And then as soon as you've hopped in and let the car do the soft close on the door,
they'll automatically extend back in the way they were before.
Now when it comes to a Maybach the rear of the car is of course the most impressive part of it even
if you notice on the running boards, the running boards are actually thicker at the rear of them
because the rear passengers and their experience is the most important aspect of a Maybach.
Now as I mentioned earlier when it comes to the level and attention to detail that
a Maybach has it's insane aside from all the badges and logos everywhere I mean just look
at the mats they've got like a high piled kind of carpets they're just something that I'd find
in like a luxury home so not any of these thin mats that you'd normally see in a car.
When it comes to your experience on the road of course you're greeted by these two rear screens
and there's also a tablet in here as well which allows you to control many aspects of the car.
Now of course up front is MBUX, MBUX is the latest multimedia system by Mercedes-Benz but
this is extended to the rear of the car so you can literally go on here and control the sat nav
all from the back. I guess maybe not even talking to the driver up front which is
quite interesting so yeah you can go on here and just literally pop in on
the destination where you'd want to go and um yeah I guess your driver would take you there!
Tap on the home button of course yep you've got your sat nav here then you've got the
radio functions, media functions and then comfort functions to go through things like
the ambient lighting and yes as you've seen there is a full array of ambient lighting.
And I haven't actually noticed before in any other Mercedes but it's all up on the top here as well
behind the speakers, in the footwells, behind the seats,
under here, behind me it's literally everywhere it looks absolutely stunning.
Now of course with Maybach experience on that same comfort menu where you
can control all that ambient lighting there are massage functions which is
insane so I can do hot relaxing back massage, a hot relaxing shoulder, activating massage,
classic massage, mobilizing massage and an active workout backrest as well.
Just so many to choose from!
And now if I go to seat comfort you can control all the seat settings on here. Of course
memory one & two but you know you can virtually almost go to sleep in these you can lay down
and adjust the seats to have a quick nap while your driver is taking you somewhere.
Seat climate control, seat ventilation, heated seats oh and as well this is really cool!
When you put the heated seats on it also heats the panels up as well so
in the middle of the car you've got your kind of center armrest and here, when you
put heated seats on it heats these up as well so literally everything you touch is like super warm!
Which is just crazy! So let's see what we've got after this so we've got lumber adjustment,
so typical where it inflates the lower portion of the seat, side bolsters, you usually only get that
on sports cars on the front the side bolsters the ones where they kind of hug your kidneys.
So you can increase...oh yeah...there we go!
Yeah that that doesn't take long to inflate!
Sunblinds! Now usually you'll find this on an S-class. So Sunblinds being all
the blinds you see on the windows. So for example if I tap this one.
You have blinds just come out of nowhere so you can get a nice bit of
a bit of sleep. Now they're blinds for the roof as well and blinds for the windows on the other
side so...oh and I didn't even notice there's a little mini one at the back here as well which has
come across as well! So let's tap him and bring him back down.
Amazing.
Now of course this is literally just this screen here, there's also a browser on here, so you can
browse the Internet. Of course you would need to subscribe to this through Mercedes me. And
there's also HDMI as well so there'll be a little HDMI port on one of the sides where you can plug
certain devices in and obviously play music or videos or movies and things on the screen.
Now of course this is just literally everything on this screen but then there's a little tablet
in the middle as well and no you don't have to operate it from here you can tap the eject button.
And you get the nice little Samsung tablet to go with the car as well which is included!
Looks like it's virtually the same as on here but there's also a remote control
button on here and ah! I can literally control the screen in front from here so full control
and oh yeah now I can do this screen over here on the left!
We'll swipe left and right here and then I can do this one as well just in case,
you know you don't want to lean forward you can just do it from here! So it's a crazy level of
attention to detail that you have in one of these! Let's pop him back in there for now.
Now of course it's not all about the rear screens,
this car has some very very unique features there's a wireless charger just here
front and center. And then in here some very very clever tech so there are cup holders
there's a small one and a large one just in case on the side of your beverage I guess!
And then there's a button here where you can tap it and it will make the cup holder cool,
tap it again and it will go red to keep it nice and warm so a heated and cooled cup holder.
And yeah I guess if you want to keep like a warm drink like a coffee? I wouldn't...I would have a
coffee in here with everything being white! But yeah they're nice heated and cooled cup holders.
And just here as well if you purchase some champagne glasses the car can actually clamp
them together to stop them from kind of spilling or rolling over and speaking of the champagne!
In here there is a fridge literally for champagne so it's not for sandwiches or anything like that,
if I open this up here we've got a couple of compartments just here but then in here
there is a dedicated fridge just down in here. So you can literally I think it holds maybe
three champagne bottles in there so either two or three but yeah there's a dedicated fridge in the
back of here. Again different temperature adjustments on here that you can do but
yeah! All about that luxury lifestyle so let's pop that back up in here and secure
him back and look! There's another Maybach logo just there just like I mentioned earlier!
So one very unique thing on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600
is a thing called the off-road assist or free driving mode
and basically what this is it's a thing that helps free you if you're stuck doing some off-roading.
Now I don't know anyone who's going to do any off-roading in a car like this but
if you do and you do get stuck you can enable this
thing and it might help you get out of that sticky situation you're in.
But a lot of people online have just been kind of showing off and kind of showing what it can
do...I'm just going to show you and show you what it does so if i enable this...
Oh here we go!
And you'll see now the car will move up and down to get you out of that situation
and...oh my god...it's just so such a weird sensation.
It's so weird!
My god!
Right I'm gonna hit the stop button here.
There we go. Geez, so I've never been in a car like that before that's that's very very strange.
Let's press it again...
"Free driving mode for improved starting characteristics on sand, snow or loose surfaces".
It's so...I don't know if you can see on camera it moves so much it's oh my god! It's so weird!
Oh my god...okay I'm gonna hit stop.
And then guys when we get on to the engine of a Mercedes-Maybach, they are very very powerful.
They're not as normally as like a C 63 or a GLC 63, because remember it's aimed at the
luxury kind of side of things.
So you've got all that power...it sounds good,
but it's just not going to crackle and popple as much as some of the others.
So let's have a look!
So as I said it's 557hp and also features a thing called mild-hybrid, so it features an extra 22hp
of electric roughly around about 200Nm as well to aid in that acceleration.
And....urrr...I....yes...I have just noticed there is another
Mercedes-Maybach badge here which I didn't count earlier,
I didn't realise there was one under here. So that means there's 30 on this car.
Now also with the paints when it comes to the colour options the Maybach
also features two-tone paints.
So you can get this in a cavansite blue/high-tech silver colour,
obsidian black/rubellite red colour, obsidian black/designo kalahari gold metallic, emerald
green/mojave, high-tech silver and diamond white and high-tech silver and selenite grey.
And there we go guys that concludes this week's video on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600!
