2024 Maybach S580 - Ultimate Mercedes Sedan!

Thanks: Silent Auto @Silent-Auto 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Starting at $ Highs: Hypebeast-meets-aristocrat vibe, silky turbocharged powertrains, practically floats down the road. Lows: Not as recognizable as a Rolls-Royce, massive markup over the standard S-class, V-12 engine guzzles gas like a pickup truck. Verdict: As the ultimate Mercedes sedan, the Maybach S-class out-luxes everything else in the brand’s portfolio—and well it should at this asking price. Overview Billionaire buyers looking for the ultimate in luxury will find the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S-class a sedan fit for their regal routines. Based on the Benz-branded S-class, the Maybach version turns luxury all the way up and features interior materials that put it squarely in the same class with high-dollar rides such as the Bentley Flying Spur and the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Like those cars, the Maybach is designed to pamper every occupant, especially those in the rear, who are treated with options such as reclining seats with massage, a beverage cooler, and electrically operated doors. A standard air suspension virtually erases potholes, making it a peaceful place to close a multimillion-dollar deal or sip a glass of champagne on your way to the red carpet. And depending on how you customize it, the Maybach S-class can get you to your destination without attracting attention from paparazzi, or it can announce your arrival with hypebeast flair. A Night Series appearance package is now available for the Maybach S-class that features darkened chrome exterior accents peppered with rose-gold details in the headlamps. The Night Series models come in gray, black, or white exterior colors or can be had with a two-tone Onyx Black and Mojave Silver scheme. The Maybach rolls on special dark-finished wheels embossed with a pattern made entirely of Maybach logos. The car’s cabin is decked out, of course, but the Night Series takes it a step further with unique finishings, and you can choose from either an all-black leather upholstery or a white and black duo. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options. If you’re gonna go with a Maybach version of the S-class, you might as well go big and get the S680 and its powerful V-12 engine. Standard features are of course plentiful and include luxury items such as soft-close doors, an air suspension, a 30-speaker Burmester stereo system, and a rear-seat entertainment system with two touchscreens and much, much more. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Under the hood of every S580 sedan is a 496-hp twin-turbocharged V-8 engine, which is augmented by a 48-volt hybrid system. Going with the S680 swaps in a 621-hp V-12. All models will come with Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive system. The V-8 makes 33 more horsepower than the old S560 from 2020, and it packs quite a punch. During our testing, the S580 rocketed to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. But that’s not the most impressive thing about the Maybach S-class. During our time with the car, we were impressed with the ride quality and the nearly silent cabin—we recorded an extremely low 64 decibels inside the car while cruising at 70 mph. The V-12’s power rating is the same as the 2020 S650 model and does not benefit from a 48-volt hybrid system, but we haven’t had a chance to test the new one yet. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo The Maybach S-class has a seven-inch-longer wheelbase than the already-large Benz-branded S-class sedan, which provides even more stretch-out space inside its leather-lined cabin. So many luxury features are standard in the Maybach we couldn’t possibly list them all here, but all models will come with exquisite leather on virtually every interior surface; a 64-color interior ambient lighting system; heated and ventilated front seats with massage and four-position memory settings; heated rear seats with power adjustments and massage; an air ionizing system with a signature fragrance; and a panoramic sunroof. For buyers who intend to be chauffeured, Maybach can add the optional Executive Rear Seat Plus package, which includes rear-seat folding tables, an extended center console, additional rear-seat wood trim, and temperature-controlled cup holders. Also optional are electrically operated rear doors, a refrigerator, and Maybach-branded champagne flutes. Read More
