What are the differences between Mercedes-Maybach and S-Class?
2 Answers
The following are the specific differences between the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Maybach S-Class: 1. Body length: The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 450L are 5259*1899*1497mm, while the Maybach S-Class 450L measures 5466*1899*1500mm. The Maybach S-Class appears longer than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, with the rear triangular small window of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class located on the door, whereas the Maybach S-Class has its rear triangular small window on the C-pillar. 2. Power: Taking the Mercedes-Benz S450L and Maybach S450L as examples, although both models are equipped with a 3.0T L6 engine, the Mercedes-Benz S450L features a single-turbo engine, while the Maybach S450L comes with a twin-turbo engine. 3. Interior: The Maybach S450L also adds features compared to the Mercedes-Benz S450L, such as variable steering ratio, active grille shutters, rear multimedia controls, full-car soundproof glass, privacy glass, heated air vents, and a PM2.5 air filter.
I once drove a friend's S-Class, but it wasn't until I test-drove a Maybach that I truly understood the difference. The Maybach isn't just about extending the body length—the entire rear cabin feels like a first-class airline seat, with legroom spacious enough to cross your legs, heated and massaging seats complete with calf rests, whereas the S-Class rear, though roomy, sticks to a more conventional design. On the road, the Maybach's sound insulation is noticeably superior, gliding over speed bumps with barely a sensation, while the S-Class offers a sportier ride with more direct feedback from the chassis. Externally, the Maybach boasts unique two-tone paint and exclusive wheels, exuding an aura of prestige that's palpable even when parked. The price gap of several hundred thousand buys that exclusive sense of luxury—I'd choose the Maybach for business receptions, but for personal driving, the S-Class is more than sufficient.
