What is the relationship between Mercedes-Benz and Maybach?
2 Answers
Maybach is a brand under Mercedes-Benz. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Taking the Maybach S-Class 2020 model as an example, the car dimensions are 5466mm in length, 1899mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3365mm, a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, and a body structure of a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. The Maybach S-Class 2020 model is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 270kW and a maximum torque of 500Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission. It adopts front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension and a unibody structure. 2. Maybach belongs to Mercedes-Benz. The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class incorporates Mercedes-Benz's cutting-edge technology. The newly launched Maybach S600 has an appearance no different from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, is even larger than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and uses the Mercedes-Benz logo instead of the Maybach logo, but the car is named Maybach S600. 3. The Maybach S-Class is the largest sedan in Mercedes-Benz's lineup, with a length close to 5.5 meters. In the Maybach S600, one can deeply appreciate the need for caution and patience when navigating narrow alleys due to its 5.5-meter length. However, once on the move, the vehicle's tracking performance is outstanding, and the rear follows naturally and harmoniously, without causing any driving pressure.
Mercedes-Benz is actually the parent company of Maybach. Maybach was once an independent luxury car brand, but it was discontinued for a period before Mercedes-Benz revived it in 2002 as its top-tier series. Today, the Mercedes S-Class and Maybach S-Class share the same platform, but the details are vastly different. The Maybach has an 18cm longer wheelbase, diamond-stitched Nappa leather seats, and even extra chrome trim on the door panels. The driving experience also differs—the Mercedes chassis leans sporty, while the Maybach is tuned like a moving lounge. The most obvious difference? If you see a car with double M badges on the C-pillar, that’s the million-dollar Maybach.
