What is the difference between Mercedes-Benz S and Maybach?
2 Answers
The differences between Mercedes-Benz S and Maybach are: 1. Different body lengths: Mercedes-Benz S is the standard version; Maybach is the extended version. 2. Different body structures: Mercedes-Benz S is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan; Maybach is a 4-door, 4-seater sedan. Taking the Maybach GLS as an example: it is a full-size SUV, equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 367 and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The Maybach GLS has a length, width, and height of 5210mm, 2030mm, and 1838mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3135mm. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and has a fuel tank capacity of 85L.
I've also looked into the differences between the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Maybach, having driven the S-Class a few times and ridden in a friend's Maybach. The Mercedes-Benz S series, like the S350 or S450, is the flagship sedan of Mercedes-Benz, mostly priced at over a million yuan, focusing on luxury and driving experience, with decent rear space but relatively more practical. As for Maybach, models like the Maybach S-Class are extended luxury versions based on the S-Class, with a longer wheelbase—the rear seats are practically like a boss's private seat, featuring massage functions, fold-out tables, and even more premium interior materials, but the price directly doubles, starting at over two million yuan. So, the core difference is: Maybach pursues ultimate comfort and personalized customization, suitable for those who want to flaunt their status; the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is more balanced, great for daily driving, and the money saved could cover years of fuel. Choosing between them depends on personal needs and wallet thickness—Maybach is a status symbol, while the S-Class represents practical luxury.
