No new teasers by Mercedes. This is the new Mercedes-Maybach. The new flagship has its world debut at two cars shows at the same time. The Los Angeles Motor Show and the Guangzhou Motor Show. This luxurious limousine will be available next year.
Mercedes-Maybach is the new sub brand of Mercedes-Benz where they focus on luxury. Extra space and unlimited customization options are the most important characteristics of this sub brand. Mercedes-Maybach offers prestige and exclusivity and aims for customers who value on status. Customers can choose between two models. The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 with a V12 biturbo engine and the Mercedes-Maybach S 500 with a V8 biturbo engine. The new Maybach models are less interesting as their predecessors. That model was only available with a big V12.
The most important fact of the Maybach is the longer wheelbase of an extra twenty centimeters. The real limousine feeling is created thanks to the adjustments to the doors and window. The grill has undergone a subtle change compared with the S-Class. Three double chrome louvres and a vertical chrome strip create a new front. Even the bumpers are finished with chrome louvres. Remarkable is the absence of the Maybach logo on the front.
In the back of the car it became even more luxurious. The passengers of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class are overwhelmed by a real lounge style. Modern luxury predominates the interior and that is expressed in the rich use of beautiful materials like handstitched nappa leather and the analog IWC clock with imposed numbers on the dashboard. The 'Manufaktur' character is expressed by the exclusive wood and chrome finish, the chrome rasters for the tweeters and the hightech glass fiber for the illumination. Everything looks just a bit better and more exclusive. A lot of handmade materials increase the exclusivity of this model.
By introducing Mercedes-Maybach as a sub brand, Mercedes has to invest less money in building a new brand. You can just find this luxurious limousine in the Mercedes-Benz dealerships instead of exclusive Maybach dealerships.
