BIG MONEY! 2021 Maybach GLS 600 vs BMW Alpina XB7



i'm jacob and we're going for a drive bmw alpena xb7 2021 mercedes mybach gls 600 with no launch control with launch control oh my god that's way faster than it should be so we wanted to compare the most luxurious suvs we can find from the german rivals of mercedes and bmw and they're both from each company's in-house specialty sub-brand so let's get into the horsepower and torque the mybach has 550 horsepower 538 pound-feet of torque from a 4-liter twin-turbo v8 with eq boost and the alpena has

612 horsepower 590 pound-feet of torque from a 4.4 liter twin-turbo v8 all right ready three two one oh gone completely dusted into my box yeah so one of these is definitely sportier and i happen to be in the sportier one which is the alpena there is no doubt in my mind this is way faster because every time we've tried to compare these this one just takes off the alpena is meant for drivers where this mybach is actually kind of meant for the back seats because we've got only two seat s back there

yeah considering it's meant to be a three row suv and you only have two seats in the back uh it's extra luxurious back there so a couple million of you liked our previous gls versus x7 video another couple million liked our gle bouncing video if you're one of those couple million maybe subscribe so you know when we do the next really cool comparison and the xb7 is the fastest x7 that you can buy but this is not the fastest gls that you can buy there is a gls 63 that is fa ster yeah and the gls 63

is also even cheaper than that so it also kind of splits the difference where you get more performance but less luxuries so it would also be a really good matchup with the xb7 and maybach only modifies the s-class and the gls where alpena will do a whole bunch of different bmw models so these are big three-row suvs let's start with the looks starting with the front ends the modbach has a totally different grill than every other mercedes it's not that pan ameri cana style it's like a

thinner version of it yeah it definitely looks more luxurious and the grill below looks very very chromy and it stands out yeah and it kind of looks a little cheap as well whereas nothing on this alpena front end looks cheap i love the alpena logo up front and we got a pretty big grill on the x7 as well i wouldn't say it looks cheap i would say it looks a little cheese but i like it and we got way better headlights on the bmw i would kind of argue that the gls headlights are just as good because

the suv headlights on the new mercedes are really really nice yeah but the overall front end on the alpino just looks so much more aggressive well remember how everyone made fun of the x7 grill because it was so big compared to this grill on the maibok it doesn't seem that big at all no it really doesn't so let's move on to the side where i have the better stance in the alpena okay the alpena can get dumped all the way to the bottom whi le you're parked where the mybach cannot the maybach

you can't dump all the way when you're in park but you can dump it when you're in driving in the car with your off-road assistance individual wheel settings but what the mybach has that the xb7 doesn't have is bounce mode with your free driving assist yeah that's to get yourself out of a stuck situation we previously experienced that in the gle [Music] but i feel like every mybach has that only for the reason that it looks s uper cool and it's part of the e-active body control package although it

is definitely the coolest party trick you can only use it below 15 kilometers per hour you can't use it in parks so you have to be in drive or even reverse actually so bmw wins for the stance but how about the wheels the alpena wheels always look amazing but we kind of have alpena ish style mybach wheels in the gls yeah they're very very similar multi-spoke design i think they both look really good i almost have to tie them but at the same time the alpena has the heritage of these amount of

spokes so i kind of have to give it to the alpena and i'm gonna give it to the maybach because the wheels are a bunch brighter and they really match the chrome accents on the side of the myback which i really like the xb7 only has that little chrome hockey stick at the bottom nothing chrome around the windows yeah the xb7 just has an overall sportier look from every angle because you also have a mybac h logo on your c-pillar where i don't have anything yeah i guess that's more of a luxury kind of

thing to throw on your suv and the mybach is definitely the more luxurious one of these two and now moving on to the back end who's got the cooler tail lights i gotta give it to the mybach on this one they look a little bit cooler totally agree and then if we move down to exhaust tips as cool as the xb7 is the my box are just a little bit cooler no way i'm giving it to the alpino because c ome on double dual exhaust it looks so good it's classy okay and then we should probably listen to both

of them from the outside and although we want to know how they rev we also want to know how quiet they are from the outside so let's take another listen yeah you pretty much can't even hear this maybach from the outside idling but how does it sound from the inside when i floor it in my back mode still pretty quiet but you hear a little bit of rumbling you're in my back mode whi ch is your most comfortable mode i'm gonna go to sport plus mode which is my most sporty mode and then floor it that

sounds pretty good but still not obnoxious like an m car or like a 63 amg yeah and they're both dead quiet inside but i do have to give it to the mybach for being slightly more quiet and then as for paint we both have them in black i think the green and blue looks much better on the alpena but we're missing the awesome two-tone that we can option on the gls uh yeah so we got to give them a tie for what we have because we both have the black versions of each one but overall looks wise if you

could spec one out the way you want it i would totally pick a two-tone mybach and i think that looks so much better than the xb7 and i thousand percent agree with that even though the alpena does look like more of a monster so the next thing that people probably really care about in these types of suvs is comfort so i'm actually gonna put myself into com fort plus mode and it is sublime in here we both have air suspension but i gotta give the win to the mercedes maybach yes we have a mybach

suspension mode and it takes your comfort and then it adds a little diamond next to it to prove to you how luxurious your comfort is in here yeah whereas alpena mode if they had one would probably be the more sporty mode whereas the maybach mode is actually the more comfortable mode so the maybach and alpena both give us different fonts on th e back of the cars who has the cooler badge slash logos i don't really know i think i gotta give him a tie i think alpino wins because the a is such a weird

shape to me okay that we'll give it a 0.1 of a win on that one and it's this mybach has a little too many mercedes logos and not enough maybach logos i do agree but the c-pillar one is pretty sweet and hey drake i'm a big fan of yours i know you're a big fan of my box we did try to reach out to you to see if you wanted to be featu red in this video to let us know which one you prefer to this mybach and the alpena unfortunately we couldn't get through to your dm and we assume drake is probably a

straight piper so hit us up yuri territory on instagram or straight pipes on instagram let us know if you want to come do some car stuff with us yeah bring all your mercedes out we can have a track day hey drake remember when you came to planet bowl when i used to work there back when you're on degrassi i don't think h e remembers that bro everyone remembers planet bowl friday night dj night cosmic bull so now to get some points back for the gls we should probably talk about the second row of

seats normally if we weren't comparing this alpena to anything else other than that mybach this thing would probably win against everything else but because we're comparing it to that it definitely wins for the interior on the mybach yeah it's definitely more rolls-royce-ish back here but the maybach can be optioned without just those two seats but lucky for us it is but you can't get a third row the only thing you can get is three seats in the back so we've got a center console with a fridge in

this maybach we've got some champagne flutes that are conveniently missing i'm not sure who took those out we've got hidden trays that you can work on down there we've got two screens that you can browse the internet and control the infotainment from and we've got some of the nicest airplane sty le reclining seats and don't forget about that tablet that is an android tablet that you can take out and also control your infotainment and all of your peasant blockers and shades and then we've also got

super crazy ambient lighting in the back of the maybach too but it is pretty normal mercedes ambient lighting and in the xb7 i actually do have three rows and all of them are very comfortable to get into they're not quite as comfortable as the seats on the mybach but i have no compla ints about sitting in any row in this vehicle yeah the xb7 also does have two screens at the back which does control the infotainment but i didn't see a web browser so you're gonna get points on the mybach there yeah

and there's no massages or anything back there we do have heated which is nice but it's kind of lacking a couple luxurious features like yours has and this mybach also has these huge side steps that also come out when you open the doors and it's extra wide at the back bec ause this car is about the rear seat room but i feel like the xb7 is meant to be sportier and still allow you to do everything you want to do where this mybach is like there's a lot of stuff you can't do but you are going to be

so comfortable so luxurious that it doesn't even matter so in the second row of the alpena you actually have extra pillow headrests for the seats yeah so you can put them on or remove them i would definitely just leave them on and the maybach of course also ha s that and it's got lumbar pillows yeah the lumbar pillows are pretty sweet because they also say my back and fun fact my iphone 12 pro max actually fully fits in the wireless charger in the back of the mai box which is so luxurious i'm so

surprised that an auto manufacturer actually planned for that the year that the car came out yeah well to my buck i would hope that they did that and just to prove how good the suspension is here's some gratuitous shots of the cars going over train tracks didn't even feel them if i didn't know i was going over train tracks i wouldn't even know i did it so let's switch up the cars talk about a little bit more technology maybe a little trunk room stuff go through cliche corner and decide which one

wins considering the prices are a little off just gonna floor it one last time oh yeah that's fast i'm going to keep it in my back mode one more time perfect recovery mode bounce by switch yeah okay bounce control alpena with the real l aunch control [Music] that's really fast [Music] all right for real sport mode launch still pretty quick i guess what we really need to find out is is the luxury worth missing out on the speed i think i've made up my mind but i'll save that for the end of the

video so back to these two interiors we've actually got much nicer colors in this alpena we've got some blue and white and you know how much i love white interiors the white interior is definitely pretty cool but considering this black interior actually looks amazing and i'm not really a fan of gloss black but seeing gloss black with these pinstripes i don't know what mercedes did but they figured me out cause i'm totally okay with this i don't think mercedes did that i think mybach did that but

there are a lot of very cool colors you can get in the my box too called mahogany macchiato beige interior and then you can also get a white interior in the mai box from what i've seen on some different page buil ders and my favorite part of driving this because yeah i guess you'd actually probably drive this if you owned one this steering wheel this gloss black again i don't really care about it because it's so expensive it just feels so nice okay but there's a leather wrapped alpena steering

wheel with the blue and green stitching plus the alpena logo is like top notch too and in the mybock the paddles kind of feel cheap and plasticky i don't really like them but i wouldn't ever use them either yeah and in the alpena we've got these little button paddles at the back that's a heritage thing that aren't really convenient to use either who's going to win the steering wheel battle i think we just have to give it to the alpena even though both of us wouldn't use any of these paddles

ever okay how about interior lightings overall in each of these cars i gotta give the wind to the maybach like a hundred percent the maybach is very good but look how great of a job i did of showing off the alpena's interior lights yeah but look how great of a job i did on the mybach lights i think the mybach did all that work bro it was me and the most important interior feature the visors three two one slide yes and double visor in the my block double pass no points my back before we get into

comparing the tech i want to compare the practicality so let's hit them with the box test one two three four five six seven boxes in the alpena so we only have enough room for corbin's box and adam r's box in the mybach not very surprising considering the my box back seats don't go down but now that i'm a dad you're going to be a dad soon we should probably do the baby seat test so it turns out the baby seat actually fits in both cars very easily because the maybach has a removable panel for the

isofix mounts most luxurious baby check but the most shocking thing is that the stroller actually fit around the fridge in the back of the my box yeah i was genuine ly shocked by that i i didn't think it was gonna fit great job my box slash up a baby collab i i don't know i don't know who made that work yeah i don't think there's any coal out there just happened to work kate this car is perfect for baby peasant blockers she doesn't like when people look at her and super comfy back seats like way

more comfortable than a nissan rug no shade nissan rogue but leaving the hospital but doing better than this oh and the built-in rocking baby to sleep m ode okay it's okay baby we're turning on oh yeah it actually works rocking you actually and baby's not sad anymore oh yeah we're going to talk about the tech in a second but first these seats are so comfortable in both of these i kind of just basically have to give them a tie yeah and they both have a massage they they kind of need to tie front

seat wise back seat wise you know my lock yeah and let's talk about some drive modes so we did show you that the maybach can bounce and with yuri's photoshop skills here's what the alpena would have looked like if it could bounce as well so don't forget to subscribe if you like cool comparisons and cool after effect photoshops yo corridor crew if you're hiring hit me up bro you're not leaving it's the only shot where the comping kind of betrays it i want to know how they actually did the the wow

there you go that was it that was it okay you know how much i love cups and cup holders do you have heated and cooled cup holder s in your mai box of course i do and when i press the button to heat or cool them the led lights up blue or red my led changes as well but it's small and not as impressive in the alpena xb7 but it is pretty cool that we both have cooled and heated cup holders okay back to more technology stuff we both have really wide digital displays yeah and the ones on the mybach are

basically the same as every other mercedes across the board however we do have special mybot gauges with the mybach logo and this alpena does have a customized gauge cluster as well with all alpena fonts and the tack goes green to blue which is very very cool i think it has more customization and therefore the alpena wins what there's no way these ones are so much more customizable than the mercedes but it literally just has a little maybach logo this alpena thing is fully reskinned yeah but the

amount of things that you can do with these gauges listen these are the better gauges even though i don' t like them as much and then as for infotainments i've got that awesome bmw infotainment with the rotor wheel i've got an alpena rotary wheel and a crystal shifter how about the mai box i have a really nice mybach logo on the palm rest and then i also have a little touchpad and a touchscreen and i also have android auto and apple carplay in the maiboc as do you and the bmw we both have very

high res reverse cameras they both have car wash mode but the car wash mode in the maybach i s just so much better because it goes through a checklist of things that you have to do before you go through a car wash whereas the car wash mode in the alpena just shows your parking camera basically yeah but like a straight down view so you know you line up and don't scratch those wheels i actually have to give the overall win to the bmw for the infotainment because i find it just so easy to use now

totally agree the bmw one is so great and this one has a built-in drive recorder that will record to the car where the drive recorder app on the mybock you need to actually plug in a usb to save your drive recordings and the alpena will rewind satellite radio with jump back but you actually have that ant tuned mix in the my box so i'm super jealous of that and then we both have radar crews and lane keep assist they're both very very good but the one in the mailbox is just that much better yeah

the one in the alpena does sway a little bit left and right but belo w 50 kilometers an hour you do have the traffic jam mode where it looks at your eyes with the camera so if you're in like daily commute traffic all the time this might be the better choice and if you have open roads and you want to chase people down the alpena might also be the better choice yeah but if i'm the type of person to buy in my box i might actually have a chauffeur so therefore the maybach was the better choice all

right train track test and what transracks pretty much a couple more fun little tests what's the top speed on your speedometer jacob 260 in the maybach gary 340 kilometers an hour in the alpena damn bro and they both actually have a vitality mode but the bmw alpena soundtrack is a little more classic and i've got gesture control so i can do all the cool hand waving stuff in the alpena i just tell my chauffeur to do that damn that's that's a good one so heading into cliche corner in the my block

i've got individual sport comfort my back an d curve and off-road i'm definitely going to leave it in curve mode for cliche in the mai box and i'm going to keep the alpena in sport plus so i can just leave you in the dust and so what curve mode does in the mybock is that it'll dip the inside basically like you're driving a motorcycle it's a really weird feeling but it always kind of keeps you level it's a really cool system and a gentleman's agreement to keep them in automatic okay this thing is

just like so fast for a huge suv through here yeah and i don't really care about going fast at all i just care about being horizontal and the mybach doesn't have any rear wheel steering so it does feel kind of big yeah let me see if i can see some of that rear wheel steering through cliche and it definitely feels a lot more like an m car than it does a rolls royce in the alpena xb7 yeah and that also shortens your wheelbase in like parking lots and stuff it's a really good system i love rear

wheel steering and t he steering effort on both of these is very light but it's not effortless like a rolls-royce would be and although we agreed not to use the paddles through cliche corner what about our pedals yuri yeah i've got normal ones in the xb7 but they are kind of nice i had fun using my mybach branded gas pedal through cliche corner and then my brake pedal as well they look fantastic that is a little way too luxury but i think i want to answer the question now jacob you always love

fast car s right i do love my fast cars would you take this faster xb7 that is a little bit less luxurious than that slower mybach which is super luxurious yeah it's almost like a one second difference to their zero to 60 times but yuri i would 100 percent go with the maybach because i just love how much luxury there is in here the maybach would make no sense in my life this car is perfect dailying an xb7 alpena would be so much better for my lifestyle but if i could pull off the mybach
i definitely would yeah and there is a bit of a price discrepancy between these two as well so we should probably get to the price the alpena is specked out to 179 hundred dollars canadian and the mybach is sitting at two hundred and thirty thousand two hundred dollars well i think the maybach is just like way more exclusive way more luxurious but a step below rolls royce because a rolls royce will cost way more than that to start off so although both of us picked the maybach you really can' t go

wrong with either one it just depends on what type of person you are if you want the sportier suv between these two there's no question that it's that xb7 yeah i mean like if i want to go biking somewhere i pretty much have to have the xb7 right yeah pretty much if you don't get the fridge option you could probably fit a bike but i also have a tow hitch on here oh yeah i can just do a bike rack tow hitch all right i'll pick the maybach let us know which one you would pick xb7 or the mybot do you

want to go fast or do you want to be driven around in style do you think the extra price of the mybach is worth it let us know in the comments [Music] Inglês
