Mercedes-Maybach Gamme Mercedes-Maybach - utilitaires ou VUS
The Mercedes-Maybach SUV range occupies the top of the ultra-luxury SUV segment. It is centered on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS, launched in 2020, a large long-wheelbase SUV prioritizing rear-passenger space and comfort, often configured with four seats featuring a center console and lounge-type seats. Derived from the Mercedes-Benz GLS, it shares its imposing size while elevating materials, sound insulation, and finishes. This SUV targets a clientele seeking both a high driving position, road presence, and the refinement of a prestige sedan. Notably for the North American market, the GLS Maybach is assembled in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In Quebec, this type of heavy SUV, fitted with large 22- to 23-inch wheels and low-profile tires, fully justifies a second set of approved winter tires for safety on snow and ice, as well as careful tire maintenance.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Mercedes-Maybach roulent sur de grandes jantes : les VUS GLS et EQS reçoivent typiquement des diamètres de 21 à 23 pouces, tandis que les berlines Classe S adoptent souvent des jantes de 20 à 21 pouces. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) courant est 5x112, typique de Mercedes-Benz, avec un alésage central voisin de 66,6 mm. Les pneus sont de profil bas et de fortes dimensions, ce qui rend les équivalences et le choix de modèles homologués importants. Au Québec, l'achat d'un jeu de pneus d'hiver dédiés est obligatoire et fortement recommandé, souvent sur jantes de diamètre légèrement inférieur pour le confort et le coût.
