The Mercedes-Benz Maybach is not for everyone but the luxury it affords is truly amazing. It is based on the S-Class and its features put it in the class of the world’s most luxurious vehicles.
Every occupant of the Maybach is treated like royalty. From the rear reclining massage seats to the rear beverage cooler to the electronically operated doors, the Maybach delivers in every aspect. Don’t like potholes, the air suspension ride virtually eliminates them.
The 2024 features a new Night Series appearance package. The Night Series has dark chrome exterior accents with rose gold headlamps. It is available in gray, black and white or a two tone Onyx Black or Mojave Silver. The Night Series allows the buyer to choose either all black upholstery or a black and white combination.
Engine Transmission and Performance
Every S580 sedan has a 496hp twin – turbocharged 4.0 liter V-8 engine with a 48 volt hybrid system. The S680 has a 621hp 6.0 liter V-12, and all come with the Mercedes exclusive 4Matic all wheel drive system. The ride is as quiet as it can possibly be. Standard features include soft close doors, an air suspension system, a 30 speaker Burmeister stereo system and a rear seat entertainment system with two 11.6 inch touchscreens. This only scratches the surface of what’s available.
Interior Comfort and Cargo
The Maybach has a seven inch longer wheel base than the S-Class sedan with plenty of room to be comfortable. All models come with high grade leather on almost every place that can be touched, a 64 color ambient lighting system, heated and ventilated front seats with massage, four position memory settings, heated rear seats with power adjustments and massage, an air ionizing system with fragrance and a panoramic sunroof.
Infotainment and Connectivity

Its navigation system has video directions along with Apple Car-Play and Android Auto. It also has wireless connectivity, 6 USB-C ports, a 30 speaker Burmeister Stereo sound system, a wireless phone charging pad and a rear seat entertainment system.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
Mercedes doesn’t manufacture a vehicle unless the safety features are second to none. The Maybach offers the latest and most technologically advanced safety features. Standard features include; automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control with a semi autonomous driving mode.
The Maybach embodies the Mercedes-Benz motto “The Best Or Nothing.”
