Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS is a very specific luxury SUV: a GLS-based X167 that drops the third row and commits to a four-seat cabin. It also costs clearly more than the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, regular GLS and Maybach EQS SUV in Malaysia, while sitting below the Range Rover. If the brief is a petrol-hybrid Maybach SUV with four seats, this is the one.
