Maybach with yellow license plates refers to the 62 model. Introduction to Maybach: Maybach (German: Maybach) and Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH were a German ultra-luxury automobile brand and manufacturer active in Europe between 1921 and 1940. Reason for discontinuation: However, due to poor market performance, the Maybach series of sedans was completely discontinued in 2013. On November 19, 2014, Mercedes-Benz officially launched the new sub-brand Mercedes-Maybach in Guangzhou, and at the same time, the brand's first model, the Maybach S-Class, made its global debut.

I've known the Maybach brand for a long time. It's the top luxury vehicle series under Mercedes-Benz, with common models like the Maybach S-Class lineup, including the S 580 and S 680. The 'yellow plate' might be a misunderstanding, possibly referring to yellow license plates for large vehicles in some regions, but Maybach models aren't typically called that; they mainly come in dark or customized colors. These cars are based on the extended version of the Mercedes S-Class, featuring super-spacious rear seats like a mobile living room, and come standard with a V8 engine that delivers smooth and quiet performance. Prices start at 2 million yuan, with optional Nappa leather for custom interiors. Maintenance costs aren't low—a minor service can cost thousands—but reliability is high. If you want to experience luxury, the S 580 is worth a try, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, making it ideal for business elites.

As someone who frequently drives luxury cars, I've had the chance to drive my friend's Mercedes-Maybach S 580, and the rear seats feel like first-class airplane seats—extremely comfortable. The 'yellow plate' might be a misnomer; the actual model designation is Mercedes-Maybach, with options like the more economical S 450 or the top-tier S 680. The car is large but the 4WD system keeps it stable, with quick acceleration and no jerking. The interior is exquisite, featuring massage seats and a fragrance system. Fuel consumption is around 15L/100km in the city, and using 98-octane gasoline makes it even quieter. When buying, be aware that used models depreciate quickly—you might get one at half price after three years. Daily use can be challenging due to parking difficulties; I've experienced high risks of scratches in narrow alleys. It's recommended to hire a driver for full enjoyment and to rely on authorized dealerships for maintenance.

From a technical perspective, the Maybach mainstream models such as the S 580 are equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, delivering 496 horsepower, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The 'yellow plate' might refer to special license plates, but it is not related to the vehicle model. The suspension uses air damping to filter out bumps, and the standard four-wheel drive ensures safety and reliability. The advanced electronic systems include adaptive cruise control and OTA updates. The interior features high-end materials such as real wood trim, but they are prone to wear and require regular maintenance. The battery in the hybrid version is efficient, offering good range. There are few fault points, but the parts are exclusive, leading to high labor costs for repairs. The price range is 1.6 to 3 million, with options for different displacements and configurations.
