Does Maybach have a business vehicle?

Maybach does have a business vehicle, which is the Mercedes-Maybach VS680. The overall design of the Mercedes-Maybach VS680 high-roof partition version maintains a certain continuity, featuring the new Mercedes family front face design. The streamlined high-roof Maybach enclosure gives the vehicle an excellent temperament, with LED headlights on both sides outlining the front face. The double-layer air intake grille is centered around a black solid emblem, making it look more vivid. The Mercedes-Maybach VS680 high-roof partition version is equipped with an M274 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The power tuning is the same as that of the GLC, and this gasoline engine is unique to domestic models.
As a veteran car enthusiast who has studied luxury car brands for over a decade, I can confirm that Maybach has never officially produced a genuine business vehicle (such as an MPV). You see, Maybach's entire brand positioning revolves around ultra-luxury executive vehicles, primarily focusing on S-Class sedans and top-tier SUVs like the GLS. However, when it comes to hosting VIPs, their seven-seat GLS version features rear independent airline-style seats, and raising the center partition transforms it into a mobile reception lounge - far more prestigious than ordinary business vehicles. Last year, I even saw a domestic modification shop fitting a Mercedes-Benz V-Class with Maybach front fascia and interior, but that was purely private customization and not officially recognized.
A friend just asked me this! Maybach doesn't specifically make business vans, but if you want that private luxury reception experience, just go for the Maybach GLS 600 Ceremonial Edition. I test drove it last week - two independent massage & ventilated seats in the second row, power footrests extend automatically, champagne cup holders pop out, ambient lighting set to amber tone... it gives bosses serious face when discussing business. After all, the boxy Mercedes Sprinter design totally clashes with Maybach's vibe. For a more budget-friendly alternative, the Lexus LM 4-seater version next door better fits actual business needs.
