Scottsdale has a way of attracting vehicles that make a statement, and the 2026 Mercedes-Maybach® GLS 600 4MATIC® SUV fits that environment with a confidence that only a handful of vehicles in any segment can genuinely claim. Built on the GLS platform but elevated to Maybach specification, this SUV combines a biturbo V8 producing 550 horsepower with a rear cabin designed to rival business-class aviation in terms of comfort and attention to detail. Available rear-axle steering, E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension, and a Burmester® High-End 3D Surround Sound System round out a package where nothing feels like an afterthought. Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale carries the 2026 Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC® for buyers ready to experience what this level of automotive achievement actually looks like in person.
Maybach occupies a position above the standard Mercedes-Benz lineup — a sub-brand associated with extended wheelbase saloons and ultra-luxury appointments that treat rear passenger comfort as the primary design brief rather than a secondary consideration. Applied to the GLS body, that philosophy produces an SUV where the rear seats receive more engineering attention than most vehicles devote to the entire interior. Massaging seats, individual climate zones, a refrigerated compartment, and a folding table in the rear passenger area establish the Maybach GLS 600 as something genuinely different from even the well-appointed standard GLS.
Maybach-specific exterior cues distinguish the GLS 600 immediately — a unique two-tone paint program, chrome window surrounds, Maybach-badged door sills, and a radiator grille with vertical chrome slats replace standard GLS components with elements that signal the vehicle's standing without requiring oversized visual statements. Exclusive wheel designs in sizes up to 23 inches complete an exterior profile that reads as wide and planted, with the raised ride height of a full-size SUV balanced by chrome and paint detailing that communicates refinement. In Scottsdale's afternoon light, the two-tone paint finish — with the contrasting roof color separated by a chrome dividing strip along the beltline — produces an effect that photographs struggle to capture accurately.
Rear passengers in the Maybach GLS 600 experience a fundamentally different environment from the standard GLS — Nappa leather surfaces every contact point, multicontour rear seats offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions, and a folding center console conceals a refrigerated compartment sized for champagne bottles. Individual rear screens provide entertainment and vehicle system control, while the panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light that makes the already generous rear headroom feel even more spacious. Acoustic insulation in the Maybach specification noticeably exceeds the standard GLS — highway speeds produce a cabin environment closer to a soundproofed lounge than a moving vehicle.
Powering this substantial SUV is a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 producing 550 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes-Benz's 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system. From a standstill, the GLS 600 reaches 60 mph in 4.8 seconds — a figure that feels entirely inconsistent with the vehicle's size and weight until you've experienced it from the driver's seat. E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension reads road surface data and adjusts individual wheel damping proactively, producing a ride quality that isolates occupants from road imperfections to a degree that few vehicles at any price point manage as convincingly. Available rear-axle steering reduces the effective turning radius, making the large SUV more maneuverable in Scottsdale's tighter urban environments than its footprint would suggest.
MBUX infotainment anchors the technology experience, presented across a dual 12.3-inch display configuration that integrates instrument cluster and central touchscreen into a unified glass surface. Natural language voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and over-the-air update capability ensure the system remains current throughout the ownership period without requiring dealer visits for software refreshes. Rear passengers access their own MBUX tablet interface for climate, seat, and entertainment control, providing the kind of independent cabin management that transforms long journeys from routine transportation into something closer to scheduled leisure time.
