2019 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Offers Exclusive Luxury with New Features
Mercedes-Maybach stands for the ultimate in exclusivity and individuality.
The luxury brand combines the perfection of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the exclusivity of Maybach – now the top model from Mercedes-Benz is even more refined. A new radiator grille, optional two-tone paintwork and new exclusive color combinations in the interior ensure an even more distinguished look. The enhanced Mercedes-Maybach will celebrate its world premiere at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show on March 6, 2018 and will go on sale in the U.S. in late summer 2018 as a 2019 model year offering.
A reinterpretation of the Mercedes-Maybach radiator grille with fine, vertical struts accentuates the front end. The grille was inspired by a pinstriped suit, and first made an appearance in the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. You may remember it as the 20-foot long coupe that thrilled connoisseurs and fans of the brand when it premiered at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August 2016.
The two-tone exterior paint finish is also a classic Mercedes-Maybach theme, now available in nine different color combinations. A double clear coat is also available as a further new option for all dark colors . This creates a brilliant surface finish with a piano lacquer effect and a special impression of depth. The second bodywork clear coat, including intermediate sanding, is intricately applied by hand in the Maybach Manufaktur by specially trained varnishers.

The exterior look of the top model is rounded off by a new, luxury 20-inch multi-spoke wheel. There are also three exclusive 20-inch wheel options to choose from for the Mercedes-Maybach. This includes our favorite, the iconic wheel that first debuted on the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Cabriolet.
Two new exclusive color combinations are offered in the interior: Armagnac Brown/Black and Savanna Beige/Black. The black Maybach Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery appointments can also be ordered with a choice of copper-, gold- or platinum-colored contrasting topstitching. A newly available trim option is also available in designo Magnolia flowing lines.
Here is an overview of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class data (US spec):
With a length of 215 inches and a wheelbase of 132.5 inches, the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz model range exceeds the long-wheelbase S-Class Sedan by nearly 10 inches in both dimensions. The end result is increased rear passengers comfort and extra legroom. Naturally, a slew of rear passenger standard equipment that includes Executive seats and extended interior ambient lighting rounds things off.
Sales for the Mercedes-Maybach have been quite strong, the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Since the market launch in February 2015 over 25,000 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class models have already been delivered to customers. In 2017, more than 1 in 10 S-Class models sold was a Mercedes-Maybach. Top markets for the model include China, Russia and the U.S.
The 2019 Mercedes-Maybach enhancements will be premiered at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in March and will go on sale in the U.S. in late summer 2018.
