Mercedes debuts the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class

Mercedes debuts the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class

 

The distinctive look of the driver display in Exclusive display mode underlines the special status of the Mercedes-Maybach: The surrounds of the dial instruments are in the brand color rosé gold. 

This color is also used for the active ambiance lighting (optional equipment), i.e. the animated LED light band with intelligent comfort and safety functions. With rosé gold white and amethyst glow, the active ambiance lighting now has two new color themes.

There is plenty of classic luxury on board, too: new features include the large areas of trim on the front seats. High-quality wood surrounds encase the rear of the front seat backrests. If the First-Class Rear is specified, a similarly striking area of trim is positioned between the two rear passengers. 

Clear indications that the owner of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class will typically be found seated in the rear are the standard-fit Executive seats on the left and right plus the Chauffeur package.

The occupant is able to adjust the seat surface and backrest of the Executive seat independently. Using the footrest on the front seat and the electrically extending leg rest creates a continuous, comfortable reclining surface for a pleasant sleeping position.

The infotainment system MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) is even more personal and intuitive to use.

The second generation of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) introduced in 2018 has its debut in the new S-Class. The unique feature of MBUX is its networking with a wide range of vehicle systems and sensor data. Brilliant displays on up to five large screens, in part with OLED technology, make the control of the vehicle and comfort functions even easier. 

MBUX Interior Assist recognizes numerous occupant intentions. It recognizes eye direction, hand gestures, and the body language of the occupants, so as to assist with automatic vehicle functions as the situation requires. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is also able to recognize movements and gestures by the rear occupants with the help of 3D laser cameras in the roof liner. 

Offering exceptional comfort and performance through twelve-cylinders

For the Middle East, the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 4MATIC will be introduced. Powered by a V12 engine with an output of 630 hp (463 kW), the S 680 4MATIC marks the last twelve-cylinder engine available in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio.

All-wheel drive is standard equipment.

Suspension: comfortable setup with surprising agility

The AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously adjustable damping ADS+ is standard equipment. Using DYNAMIC SELECT, the driver is able to individually modify the characteristics of the powertrain, ESP, suspension, and steering. 

Optional rear-axle steering improves maneuverability in urban areas. This reduces the turning circle by almost two meters. Customers have a choice between two variants: 4.5° and 10° rear-axle steering. Instead of 13.1 meters, the turning circle is then 12.2 or 11.2 meters.
