Unique Maybach Styling
The Maybach is set apart by its unique badge and grille with fine vertical chrome pinstripes. Revolutionary Digital Light headlamps are optional. The flagship also differs from its S brethren viewed from the side.

The new Maybach S is designed to be chauffeur driven and riding on a 7-inch longer wheelbase than the long variant of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Its trump card is its extensively upgraded first-class rear cabin.
Second-generation engine electrification features an integrated starter-generator. It is now incorporated into the Maybach’s 9G-Tronic automatic transmission. It boosts up to 20 HP and 184 lb-ft to facilitate efficient gliding when driving at constant driving speeds and enhance the start-stop.
The all-wheel drive Maybach S has continuously adjustably damped Airmatic air suspension. Dynamic Select features a dedicated Maybach mode that’s entirely focused on ride comfort. Optional fully active 48-volt E-Active Body Control suspension uses a stereo camera to scan the road ahead. And smooths out undulations. And new active road noise compensation and extended NVH measures make for a truly silky and silent drive.
