Yes, it has a plush ride and tons of luxury, but it’s the twin-turbo V-8 that sparks the GLS580’s soul.
the opulent Mercedes-Maybach GLS600
There are options not available on a 450, as well. An available Off-Road package adds 1.2 inches of ground clearance and steel underbody protection. The E-Active body control feature can rapidly adjust ride height to rock the GLS out of loose surfaces.but the GLS580 is a versatile ride, as the real magic of the E-Active system is how it sharpens on-road dynamics. It uses stereoscopic cameras to read the road ahead and adjust spring rate and ride height in real time.
The GLS580 knows where it stands, and it’s comfortable and rich-feeling in every situation. When we tested the AMG, we found the throttle to be on the anxious side in daily driving. The GLS580’s nine-speed auto is less aggressive than the AMG’s dual-clutch transmission, with smoother mapping even in Sport mode. Flooring the aluminum pedal never induces a neck-snapping event at any speed.
You would think the GLS63 with 600-plus horsepower and torque would be a sure bet in a race, but the stability controls in the GLS-Class can’t be completely turned off. Since the GLS63 can be driven more aggressively with its extra grunt, it also gets more aggressive intervention from the nannies.
