Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 Performance Overview

Positioned as the performance flagship of the Mercedes-Maybach SUV line, the GLS 600 has been tracked across 3 verified tests spanning 2021 to 2025. Throughout that run, it has used the M177 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assistance, holding output at 550 hp while refining launch performance. The first recorded 2021 SUV set the baseline at 4.5 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the model’s early character as a large hybrid luxury SUV with straight-line pace beyond its size.

By 2024, the standard SUV reduced that figure to 4.2 seconds, showing incremental gains within the same basic powertrain format.

Across all tests, the GLS 600 averages 4.2 seconds to 60 mph and 12.77 seconds at 107.6 mph in the quarter-mile.

Today, the GLS 600 stands as a single-generation, hybrid-only model whose measured performance has steadily improved rather than shifted through major mechanical reinvention, with the 2025 Night Series currently representing the quickest verified expression of the nameplate.
