Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a very luxurious cabin (in high-gloss brown burr walnut) that delivers unmatched elegance and comfort all around. It comes with an exclusive package for that premium executive feeling. Its executive seats provide outstanding cushioning and ergonomics for everyone on board. And, to further enhance the wellbeing of all passengers, it has active ambient lighting and energizing air control systems. 

Upfront, it has a high-tech dashboard with a 12.8-inch OLED infotainment display at the center. Its infotainment runs on an MBUX multimedia system and offers augmented reality for navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an interior assistant. This is linked to a high-end Burmester 4D surround sound system for world-class acoustics around the vehicle.

Meanwhile, drivers have access to a premium, tech-savvy cockpit that comes with a 3D driver display, a head-up display, and a multifunction steering wheel with capacitive touch control panels. The Maybach S-Class’ cabin is also very functional (but in a very premium way). It comes with fast charging USB-C ports, rear folding tables, a refrigerated compartment, and even a high-end rear seat entertainment system.

In terms of dimensions, the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class measures 5,469 mm in length, 2,109 mm in width, and 1,510 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 3,396 mm and runs on an elegant-looking set of 20-inch Maybach 5-hole forged wheels.

From the outside, the Maybach S-Class is quiet yet bursting with aura and dominance at the same time. It has a very expensive-looking front end accentuated by a 27-vertical-strutted radiator grille with a high-gloss chrome finish and a prestigious “MAYBACH” lettering at the center. It has an ethereal flare courtesy of its digital light headlamps. It has an elegant side view, which is enhanced by chrome window trims and side garnishes, as well as body-colored, electrically-folding mirrors. For a more modern touch, it comes with seamless door handles.

Trailing behind this vehicle, its sleek digital tail lights will definitely catch your eye. It has sequential indicator lamps both at the front and rear. And, for a more commanding presence on the road, it is given an exterior ambient lighting system, which projects the iconic Mercedes-Benz logo wherever it goes.

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class utilizes the brand’s AIRMATIC air suspension system. Thanks to this suspension system, you’ll enjoy a very stable and agile ride even when passing through traffic and bumpy, uneven urban roads. It also delivers impressive handling on twisties and sharp turns. Additionally, it also features a Comfort driving mode, which enhances the riding experience for everyone on board. Ultimately, this ultra-luxury sedan shows us why Mercedes-Benz has always been a leader in terms of comfort and refinement on the road.

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid EQ Boost system that produces a maximum power output of 503 hp and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. It runs on the brand’s 9G-TRONIC (i.e., 9-speed automatic transmission system). This ultra-luxury sedan runs very smoothly both in the city and out on the open road. For a luxury vehicle, it has immense power and torque, allowing the driver to overtake on free-flowing highways with ease. It is super refined but can also give you an exhilarating experience when needed. However, if you worry about fuel costs, then you might have to pass on this one. This sedan’s V8 engine has a strong thirst for fuel,  especially if used on a daily basis. Additionally, in terms of sound, it is very quiet and relaxing inside courtesy of its class-leading NVH suppression system.

Safety is not an issue for the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class as it is equipped with a long list of advanced features such as active assistance systems for distancing, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, steering, lane changing, and braking, as well as an evasive steering assist, an Urban Guard vehicle protection, and Pre-Safe impulse among others. It also comes with several other safety and security features. 

In terms of braking, it utilizes an electric parking brake with a comfort release function. Its braking setup is supported by an anti-lock braking system, electronic stability program, brake hold and hill start functions, and a brake assist system.

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class still remains as a dominant option among influential people, executives, and elite consumers in general because of its timeless luxury and sophistication inside and out. It is just one of those luxury vehicles that would still be highly-respected and desired even after so many years.
