Thought this wasn't going to production but maybe sales of Maybach S600 were strong? I heard they were not but haven't read any sales notices. Stretched version of the GLS will be great.

Competition in that category include the Bentley Bentayga. IMHO, the back seat is nothing impressive in terms of room. (Very pretty in terms of style and quality). They should have had a much longer rear door / window / back seat. It looks claustrophobic compared to the below Range Rover LWB.


The Range Rover LWB Autobiography Black Edition back seat is AMAZING in terms of style, quality and room. Perfect for having a driver (and at the $200k price point - many might have a driver).





The Rolls Royce Mulliner SUV will hopefully be like the back seat of Ghost EWB or even the Phantom EWB which is literally a living room on wheels.

The Bentley interior pick is deceiving.
I'm 6'4" and when behind the wheel, there is no legroom in the back seat.
Had a rental for a week and my son (same height) was extremely uncomfortable there and so was I, since I had to move the seat forward.
RR LWB is absolutely comfy for both of us.

I sat in the Bentayga at Manhattan Motorcars. The back seats are not roomy at all. Your analysis is spot on.

Would have been much better if they had a voluminous back seat like the RR LWB.

I love the look of that Range Rover interior. Love the color of the seats. The MB looks too busy--too many different colors, patterns, finishes, etc. and it really does look cramped for something with a Maybach badge.

How can you tell that the MB looks too busy? No interior pic was posted

Seems like the Maybach G650 Landaulet comes first
https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...ml#post7048018

This definitely features S-Class rear seating...
