Maybach makes some of the most luxurious cars on the planet, rivaling the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, but sometimes one might want that level of opulence with a bit more room. For that, there’s this Mercedes-Benz Luxury Metris, a Mercedes Metris van converted into a faux-Maybach, but for $300,000, is it worth it?

For reference, a brand-new Mercedes-Maybach GLS600, probably this van’s closest competitor in the current Maybach range, starts at $165,000 and tops out at $209,660. That means for the price of one of these four-cylinder vans, you could purchase a fully loaded, twin-turbo V8-powered Maybach SUV and still have almost $100,000 left over.

If we’re taking the more expensive sedans into account as well, a Mercedes-Maybach S580 starts at $184,900 and tops out at $233,500, meaning you could purchase a fully loaded, twin-turbo V8 Maybach sedan and still have $66,500 left over for the same price as one of these four-cylinder vans. Likewise, the twin-turbo V12-powered Maybach S680 starts at $229,000 and tops out at $268,410, which would still leave $31,590 left over for the same price as the van.

The first of the two up for sale from Wiresonly is a black 2020 model that appears to be inspired by the previous-gen Mercedes-Maybach S650. It features a custom body kit, as well as new wheels, trim, and likely paint to really help sell the Maybach image. Inside, it features all-new beige leather upholstery, custom door panels, “Flowing Lines” wood trim, and an Alcantara headliner. In terms of new features, the van adds a television partition, a refrigerator, a control panel, and privacy curtains to its custom power-operated rear seating configuration.

The second van for sale, a 2021 model, looks to be inspired by the current Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, and it wears a gaudier two-tone blue and silver paint job. Like the black one, it also features a new body kit, new wheels, and new trim to mimic the Maybach it’s emulating. The cabin receives tan leather upholstery, carbon fiber trim, and a custom steering wheel. Similar to the other van, it has privacy curtains and the television partition, but it also adds multicolor roof lighting, two retractable stowaway seats, and a double-sided glass partition that goes from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.

Needless to say, both of these vans are very nicely equipped, offering a large number of luxuries, but especially with the engines on offer, we can’t fathom how they cost more than official Maybach products. Perhaps they would be better values at a $50k-100k cheaper price point. What do you think? Are these Luxury Metris vans worth it? Let us know in the comments.
