PS : Use headphones for the finest creaks, squeaks and rattling that Mercedes is famous for. A C Class that I personally drove creaked like an old rusted ship over rough seas. Cheaper mainstream cars I that own(ed) have none of these ambiental music as does the best "of" nothing.
This is shocking. It’s as if this was my dabba Gen4 City’s cabin. No premium customer will put up with this. Off chance this is a abused or PDI fail piece?

One would think so, but no, far too many Mercs with groaning and creaking problems, in fact this was one of the better interiors by their standards.

I've personally experienced the creaks in a moving C Class and a stationary E Class, the center panel is the weakest link, it'll groan when pressed and creak like something is broken inside when flexing back.

Here's another example of a 2020 model :



It may not matter when driving, but if one is shelling out 8 figures for basically a 4 seater car and much more so for a luxury Maybach spec, the interiors should be quieter than an acoustic studio, no tyre hum, no flex, no creaks, not even a door thump when shut.

The Audi A4 2021 I drove felt like it meant business, at a fraction of the cost.

Probably that is the case then with the new ones. Because when you google Maybach 62 or 57 you get a lot of results with the MM logo.

Today is this conversion to the MM logo like an optional extra I am curious?

Till 2013, Maybach was an independent brand in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio. This is around the time when the aforementioned Maybach 62/57 were available with no 3-pointed star logos.

From 2015 onwards, Maybach became a sub-brand of Mercedes and that's why we have cars with a small MM logo on the side and the 3-pointed star everywhere else.

Re: Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 India launch next week

As good as the car is, I can't seem to look past the front bumper. The chrome mesh grille looks a bit over done and tacky IMHO. Mercedes could have really used a stronger bumper design to eventuate the 28-slat grille.

Re: Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 India launch next week

Ugh, this is really vulgar in my opinion, the Range Rover does luxury SUV best, the Cullinan and Bentayga are monstrous but this takes the cake with the chrome lashings.

One for the Jio garage no doubt!

Re: Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 India launch next week

This, to me, seems like a GLS decked up at a Karol Bagh shop. Those truck-loads of chrome don't gel well with this SUV's design, nor does the dual-tone paint scheme.

It comes with an aspirational brand name + price tag and hence, it should have takers.

This seems like the complete antithesis to the oh so graceful and timeless S class that Mercedes is about to launch. Hopefully it's available in more 'normal' colours as well.
