I've driven my friend's Mercedes-Benz S400 and compared it with the Maybach version on display. The most noticeable difference is the rear seat space; the Maybach S400 has an 18cm longer wheelbase, offering such luxurious legroom in the back that you can comfortably cross your legs. In terms of interior, the Maybach features higher-grade Nappa leather, with even the roof lined in Alcantara material, and an additional IWC clock on the dashboard. The driving experience also differs; the Mercedes S400 has a sportier suspension, while the Maybach's Magic Body Control air suspension makes going over speed bumps feel like gliding on a boat. The price difference is significant, with the standard S400 costing around a million, while the Maybach version is nearly half a car's worth more expensive. Additionally, the exclusive two-tone paint and wheel design are hallmarks of the Maybach, making it highly recognizable on the road.
