🚗

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS specifications centre on one V8 powertrain shared by both trims. There is no engine choice to make here. The spec sheet is really about rear-seat luxury and cabin technology. There is a single engine and one drive layout. The numbers describe a chauffeur car more than a driver's car. Weight and size keep the figures modest.

Under the bonnet sits a 4.0 litre V8 twin-turbo petrol with 48 volt mild-hybrid assistance. It makes 557 bhp and 770 Nm. A nine-speed automatic drives all four wheels. The engine displaces 3982 cc across eight cylinders.

With a large V8 and a heavy body, the Maybach GLS is not built for economy. Its ARAI rating is 8.5 kmpl, as expected from this much engine and mass. Mild-hybrid help eases things a little in stop-start traffic. Real figures fall below the rated number in the city.

The cabin is arranged around two rear lounge seats rather than outright passenger count. Boot space is 520 litres and the tank holds 90 litres. It rides a 3135 mm wheelbase with 160 mm of ground clearance. Length is 5208 mm and width 2030 mm. The kerb weight is high for this size of SUV. The V8 has torque to spare at low revs.

Refinement and quiet are the priorities across the whole car. The rear seats are the focus of every design choice. Four-wheel drive keeps the big SUV sure-footed. Check the Maybach GLS price detail to understand the full outlay at this level.

Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS power and torque explained

The Maybach GLS keeps its engine choice simple. Both the GLS 600 4MATIC and the GLS 600 Night Series share one 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 petrol. It gets mild hybrid help and sends power to all four wheels through a nine speed automatic.

This is a flagship SUV built around the rear seat, so the V8 focuses on smooth, low-effort pull for the people in the back. A big petrol V8 like this is never light on fuel, so it is worth checking its real fuel economy figures for yourself.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best.

Peak figures come from the 4.0L V8 Twin-Turbo Petrol Mild Hybrid spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 4.0 litre V8 makes its full 770 Nm of torque at just 2500 rpm. That low-down muscle moves this heavy SUV off the line cleanly, so your passengers barely feel it gather speed. Power then climbs to 565 PS at 6000 rpm, leaving plenty in reserve for a safe highway overtake. The 3500 rpm gap between peak torque and peak power keeps the V8 pulling in city traffic and out on the open road alike. It suits an owner who is driven more often than they drive, and who values calm, unhurried pace. Because both trims share this engine, you can compare both GLS 600 trims on styling and kit instead of speed.
