Mercedes' GLS class, BMW's X7, in the luxury full-size SUV market competition, The German has always been at the front end, and Audi is slightly behind in this segment. Although there are Still Japanese products such as Lexus LX and Infiniti QX80 in the market, these Japanese luxury SUVs are actually ORVs with non-load-bearing body structures, and the real high level of luxury urban SUVs is still the Mercedes-Benz GLS class. And to say that the top of this high position is naturally the resurrected Maybach GLS level.
The first change from the Mercedes-Benz GLS Class to the Maybach GLS Class was its intake grille, where mercedes-benz's iconic starry sky or double stripes did not appear on the front of the Maybach GLS class, and even the shield grille of the Big Ben was replaced by a more rounded and full straight waterfall grille. But what is interesting is that the coarse chrome banner in the center of the mesh in the MAYBACH GLS-class grille has a red flag flavor instead.
In addition to the grille, the front bumper, sports skid plate and headlight style are actually the mold of the Mercedes-Benz GLS class, but through the full coverage of the dense middle mesh in the through bumper, the high polished silver sports guard, etc., will make the Maybach GLS class look more imposing visually.
Of course, Maybach also has its own signature thing, which is the two-tone body painting of the horizontal line through the hood. Demarcated by the high waistline, the paint on the hood extends towards the roof, body struts, and tailgate struts, giving the 5210/2030/1838mm full-size SUVs some personality.
But whether it is the high ground clearance, the wide metal surround decoration, or the high-density banner support of the 23-inch rim, and the M mark on the D-pillar, they also emphasize the car's essential business flagship status.
Entering the cabin, every detail that the Maybach GLS class can touch can be described by the word luxury, and a large number of solid wood of the Mercedes-Benz GLS class is not only inherited, but also made more durable and easy to manage by upgrading the walnut and piano baked black peach wood materials, steering wheel, front guard and door panels.
Since the 12.3-inch one-piece LCD screen and the partition air conditioner with the fragrance system will be operated by the multimedia controller and the three-dimensional control bar respectively, what we can see in the baffle area of the central control is in addition to the screen, which is the suture soft bag and the air conditioner outlet.
Of course, whether it is the fully enclosed Nappa leather seats in the front row, or in the independent captain's seats in the rear, the heating/ventilation/massage/electric and waist support/leg rest support functions are not absent, and the extended hip and backrest wing support will greatly optimize the somatosensory feedback in multiple dynamic changes, as for the vibration bumps caused by the tread, in addition to the spring responsible for filtering, this thick seat filling and standard air suspension system will also make them clean.
MBUX infotainment system does not need us to introduce, real-time satellite navigation, dual mobile phone interconnection, remote car connection and speech recognition control, etc., and now passengers will also get a rear independent LCD screen and multimedia controller, and Burmester surround sound combination, 64 colors breathing atmosphere lights, multi-layer soundproof glass and rear electric shading system of the whole car, etc., will also support the Hard Power of Maybach GLS level against Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
Of course, the Maybach GLS class will not be the kind of model that ignores the demands of modern technology in pursuit of the ultimate driving experience.
Mercedes offers a sufficient number of active safety systems, and they are almost all standardized configurations. The Maybach GLS-class adaptive cruise system can be used in the full speed range or with the assistance of traffic jam assistance for stop-and-go urban cruising. At the same time, its far and near light switching, side collision warning and protection and other actions are adaptively completed; and the driver only needs to flick the lever during the cruise, and the driving computer will complete the automatic lane change, and always keep driving in the center of the lane. It should be noted that traffic congestion assistance and active lane change assistance are both Chinese characteristics, so don't worry about them not being practical enough on complex Chinese roads.
Entering the EQ Boost of the Maybach GLS level in the form of a 48V light mix system can not help the vehicle achieve fuel consumption in many places, but the 12.0L/100km NEDC data is "saving" compared to the full-size players in bentley and Rolls-Royce, and it does not need to drink No. 98 gasoline like Bentayga, and it is close to the No. 95 gasoline of the 9 yuan class.
The integrated motor can only be used as an auxiliary, the Maybach GLS class depends on the 480, 600 model, or with 3.0T and 4.0T two turbocharged engines as the main force, please note that they all have only one turbocharger, the latter can pass the 410kW (558Ps)/730N·m power parameters, and with the support of 9AT gearbox and 4MATIC full-time four-wheel drive system, help the vehicle to complete 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.9 seconds.
Finally, the front and rear double wishbone independent suspension combinations in the Maybach GLS-class chassis, as well as the air suspension that can be used for smart magic body control, are all for integrated driving stability and comfort, and they do not take the vehicle to a higher off-road level. But in any case, the Maybach GLS class will be a benchmark SUV for the ride level, and some people may choose to use 174.00-298.00 million yuan to buy a supercar, but about the "sitting" thing, the Maybach GLS class is really incomparable.
