The Mercedes-Benz GLS 600 Maybach mixes a potent petrol V8 with a four-seat layout for luxury-first travel and serious pace. It shines on long road trips with a 615 L trunk, while its high price and 12 L/100 km consumption temper daily city appeal.

The Mercedes-Benz S 600 centers on luxury and long-distance comfort, backed by a 612-hp V12 that does 0–100 km/h in 4.4 s. Its four-seat cabin and 500-liter trunk make road trips easy, but the high price and 11 L/100 km consumption are less suited to city or budget-focused use.
