Whether you opt for the 4.0-liter V8 biturbo with mild hybrid drive or the 6.0-liter V12 biturbo, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Sedan moves effortlessly and smoothly on any kind of road.
What the Critics Say
The Maybach's standard equipment list includes some of the most luxurious furnishings and equipment the brand has ever seen. Its exterior styling is also less ostentatious than that of its ultra-luxe rivals, which makes it perfect for tycoons with conservative taste.” — Car and Driver
This is Maybach coming into its own. This is Wilhelm's Phoenix, rising for the third time and finally spreading its wings. The people at Rolls-Royce like to pretend they aren't threatened by any car that doesn't cost what theirs do, because they don't believe any other car does what theirs do. They'd do well to pay attention this time, because people won't be buying the Maybach just because it's cheaper, but because the people behind Maybach are finally starting to understand how to do what Rolls-Royce does, but in a refreshingly modern way.” — Motortrend

Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Sedan Features
A Whole Different Kind of Luxury
Plenty of cars offer comfortable seats, good rear legroom, and a sophisticated ride. Plenty still offer a whole array of high-tech gadgets and toys but the mixing of traditional and high-tech luxury is where the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Sedan stands out. Its impeccably comfortable seats are covered in incredibly soft, smooth-grain Nappa leather and also incorporate integrated resonators as part of the 30-speaker Burmester® audio system, allowing you to feel the surround sound in new ways. A blend of traditional and cutting-edge design helps the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class make a statement. There are 800 different vehicle settings that can be set just how you like them and the car will recognize users by fingerprint or by face with the optional 3D Technology Package to switch everything to your specific setting when you enter the cabin. These settings will even carry over to multiple cars.
Attention to Detail
The true hallmark of distinctive luxury is how little things are handled. Ambient cabin lighting on the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Sedan is a 64-color LED system that is meticulously tucked into creases in the cabin to ensure that it is always indirect and unobtrusive. The Air Balance system purifies cabin air and gives you an option of subtle aromatherapy that won’t cling to clothing. Front and back seats offer a variety of massage options and the window glass is laminated to keep out heat, noise, and harmful IR rays. The stereo can be tuned to play for specific seats and navigation instructions are given to the driver discreetly via an ear-level speaker so as not to interrupt what passengers are listening to. The door sills and pillar emblems are illuminated and when the doors are unlocked, the ground next to them is illuminated by projectors in the shape of the timeless Maybach crest.
Engineering a Better Experience
The pleasurable experience of being in a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Sedan is built into the car’s very bones. This starts with the engine, a choice of V8 or V12, both with more than adequate power to move the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Sedan quickly when necessary. AIRMATIC® suspension provides an incredibly comfortable ride, soaking up bumps with ease. And available E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL will watch the road for hazards and prepare for them in milliseconds. The suspension works with the 9-speed automatic transmission to provide six different DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes, from sport to comfort. There is also a special Maybach mode, which provides the most comfortable ride, even adjusting throttle response and brake application so that starting and stopping won’t be too jarring. The 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system and rear-wheel steering handle difficult weather conditions and tight maneuvering when necessary.
