2 Answers
The differences between Maybach and Mercedes-Benz S are as follows: 1. Dimensions: The Maybach has a wheelbase of 3365 mm, with length, width, and height measuring 5466 mm, 1899 mm, and 1500 mm respectively. The Mercedes-Benz S has a wheelbase of 3165 mm, with length, width, and height measuring 5259 mm, 1899 mm, and 1497 mm respectively. 2. Powertrain: The Maybach is equipped with three engines: a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a 6.0-liter turbocharged engine. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class comes with two engines: a low-power version of the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version of the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine.
I've driven quite a few cars, and recently had the chance to experience both the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Maybach. They feel quite different. The Maybach is actually an upgraded version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it's positioned much higher, mainly targeting ultra-wealthy individuals. Price-wise, the Maybach is significantly more expensive, with the base model costing over a million more than the S-Class. Sitting in the back, the Maybach's seats are more spacious and comfortable, featuring heating and massage functions, with super generous legroom. Its wheelbase is longer than the S-Class, making it feel like a small living room. The interior materials are also more luxurious, using genuine leather and real wood trim, along with exclusive Maybach branding. Technologically, they share some basics, but the Maybach has its own dedicated suspension system, making it quieter and smoother to drive. Overall, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is already quite luxurious, but the Maybach offers a top-tier experience, perfect for business receptions or showing off. If you're on a budget, the S-Class is more than enough; but if you want the ultimate experience, the Maybach is the king. Personally, I find the S-Class fantastic to drive, but after sitting in a Maybach, I realized that level of prestige is truly worth the price.
