The new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class: Travel in sovereign style, arrive in timeless elegance

Mercedes-Maybach has unleashed the most comprehensive update in the history of the S-Class flagship, redefining what a luxury saloon can be. The headline act is the debut of MB.OS—the Mercedes-Benz Operating System—inside a Maybach for the first time, delivered through the fourth-generation MBUX cockpit rendered in bespoke Maybach styling. The cabin now fuses handcrafted materials with flowing digital surfaces, including open-pore woods, new Mirville textile upholstery (leather-free), and a cocooning ambience that wraps occupants in quiet luxury. The exterior receives a more assertive presence: the iconic Maybach grille grows by 20 % and gains illuminated contours, while selected markets can add subtle lighting to the C-pillar badge and even an upright Mercedes-Benz star on the bonnet. Under the skin, newly electrified inline-six and V8 engines deliver effortless, efficient thrust backed by mild-hybrid assistance, while the legendary V12 remains available in certain regions. MB.DRIVE ASSIST PRO and a revamped sensor suite elevate driving and parking intelligence, and over-the-air updates keep the digital experience fresh. For those craving even more exclusivity, the MANUFAKTUR Made-to-Measure programme expands with near-limitless combinations of leather, stitching, embroidery and finishes, while the Night Series adds Nautikblau metallic paint and fresh wheel designs. The result is a rolling sanctuary of modern craftsmanship, digital sophistication and understated grandeur—proof that Mercedes-Maybach still sets the benchmark at the very top of the luxury ladder.
