Mercedes-Benz Maybach
Mercedes-Benz Maybach Overview
Mercedes-Benz Maybach represents the pinnacle of luxury within the Mercedes-Benz family—offering an elevated experience of elegance, exclusivity, and advanced comfort. Revived as a sub-brand in 2015, Maybach builds on a legacy dating back to 1909, blending historic craftsmanship with modern automotive innovation.
Origins & Evolution
Founded in 1909 by Wilhelm and Karl Maybach, the company originally focused on engines and eventually built ultra-luxury vehicles.
Acquired by Daimler-Benz in 1960, the brand later relaunched as a standalone ultra-luxury marque in 2002. Though it faced sales challenges and ceased as an independent brand in 2013, it re-emerged in 2015 as a sub-brand offering super-premium editions under the Mercedes-Benz umbrella.
Signature Features & Luxury Focus
Maybach models stand out with extended wheelbases, rich handcrafted interiors, and exclusive trim options—offering a chauffeured experience akin to a luxury yacht or executive lounge.
The iconic upright grille, special Maybach badging on C-pillars, and opulent rear cabin amenities deliver a sense of quiet grandeur and refined prestige.
Range & Models Offered
Mercedes-Maybach is available in ultra-luxury sedans and SUVs, including versions of the S-Class, GLS-Class, EQS SUV, and SL convertible.
The Maybach GLS combines SUV practicality with Rolls-Royce-level comfort, while the S-Class sedan caters to executive luxury with enhanced rear-seat comfort.
Interior Innovation & Comfort Technologies
Rear Executive Seats in Maybach models recline deeply, often with footrests, built-in cooling/heating, and massage features—designed to pamper passengers fully. Refrigerated compartments, ambient lighting, and ultra-quiet cabins elevate the on-board experience.
Emerging features include gesture and eye-movement sensing via 3D cameras, which can automatically adjust seatbelts, open windows or sunroofs, and anticipate passenger needs.
