It's hysterically odd that driving two unbelievably amazing cars on the same day could lead to one of the most difficult choices I've ever had to make. On the one hand, there is the elegant and opulent Maybach GLS, and on the other, is the crazy and ballistic Lamborghini Urus. Now, you can't really compare the two, seeing as their respective clientele are miles apart, but if I had about ₹4 crore in my bank account just waiting to be spent (unlikely, but a man can dream), the question arose of which one would I pick.
I still find it difficult to fathom how Lamborghini made an SUV look like its supercars, and yet managed to give it that beefy look people expect from the type of car. The Italian brand has managed to shoehorn quite a few of its supercar design tropes into the Urus, from the extremely raked roofline and angular cuts and creases, to the Y-shaped motifs in the LED DRLs, the taillights, the doors, and even the spokes of the massive 23-inch wheels. This is a big SUV - it's over 5m long and 2m wide but somehow, it all looks rather compact.
And that's especially true when standing next to the stately GLS Maybach. This gargantuan Merc exudes class from every angle, giving off a very distinct luxury barge vibe. It's quite a climb to get in, yet those retractable footboards do make it quite easy. However, I have to admit, I'm not used to something being so convenient and ended up standing too close to the door and bumping my shins. I also love how this GLS looks like a regal manor riding on - enormous 22-inch wheels, and comes with a presence that's too hard to ignore on the road.
