Mercedes Maybach S-Class
The Mercedes -Maybach S-Class makes no attempt to hide its origins. It looks almost exactly the same as the standard S-Class on the outside, which may appeal to rich customers that don’t want to draw attention like what they’d get in a Bentley Mulsanne or Rolls Royce Phantom.
From the driver’s seat, there is little to differentiate the Maybach from a regular S-Class, too. It shares the standard car’s large digital displays (one of which replaces the conventional instrument binnacle found in lesser vehicles), has acres of leather and wood, and sports the S-Class’ sporty circular air vents.
The Command control infotainment system is also present and correct, although – as almost every conceivable option comes as standard – there are many more menus to navigate through than in the regular car.
It’s only when you lower your well-heeled posterior into the rear passenger compartment that the extra expense of the Maybach really pays off. There’s extra legroom over the standard LWB S-Class and more headroom too. Buyers get a variety of leather, roof liners and trim finishes to choose from – all of which come as part of the price.
The only option available – ignoring paint finishes – is a First Class Cabin pack. It’s hard to imagine many owners not opting for it given the price of the car. It gets rid of the three-seat bench in the rear in favour of two individual chairs and adds a champagne fridge (integrated of course) complete with silver-plated flutes and temperature-controlled cup holders.
With a 500-litre capacity, the Maybach’s boot is 100 litres bigger than the standard S-Class’ but specifying the First Class Cabin option eats into capacity significantly thanks to the addition of the rear fridge.
