Words such as sumptuous and lavish don’t properly illustrate how luxurious the palatial Mercedes-Maybach S-class truly is.

Pros High-class cabin, stretch-out rear seat, seriously quick.
Cons Self-driving features still need work, still resembles an S-class too much.

PROS Exceptionally comfortable and quiet Outstanding rear-seat functionality and features Chock full of standard safety features Strong engines and brakes
CONS Mercedes heritage might not be special enough
The Q8 debuted as a new model for the 2019 model year, so the changes are minimal for 2020. Some options were reshuffled, likely in response to customer demand, and the DVD player, which was previously located in the glovebox, has been omitted from the Q8 entirely.
Pros The cabin might as well be a design study, rides like a car, possesses the curb appeal of much pricier hardware.
Cons Losing a row of seats reduces practicality, expensive, still not as much fun as driving a sedan.
