Meet the Mercedes S680 Maybach

You may have seen us introduce the Mercedes-Benz S-Class as the pinnacle of luxury and performance but what happens when the luxury and exclusivity of this model is elevated?

Originally founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach, the Maybach Company was bought by Daimler-Benz in the 1960s. The name returned as a standalone ultra-luxury brand in 2002 before finally becoming a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz in 2015, which is now known as Mercedes-Maybach.

The Mercedes-S680 Maybach First Class is the epitome of sophistication and elegance. With its stunning two tone paint finish, chrome accents and exclusive Maybach badging, this vehicle demands attention. The feature line across the two-tone paint is hand-painted, taking 18 hours to complete. The Maybach exudes an unmatched presence on the road, thanks to its 21-inch multi-spoke wheels and the iconic chrome grille with the prominent Maybach emblem.

Interior

Inside, the S680 Maybach offers an exclusive oasis of luxury. The hand-stitched Nappa leather seats, which naturally feature the Maybach emblem, provide exceptional comfort and support. The cabin has been designed to indulge your senses, from the Burmester 4D surround sound system to the ambient lighting.

Of course, unlike the other performance-focused models in the Mercedes-Benz range, the Maybach is design for rear passengers to be chauffeur-driven in ultimate elegance.

Rear passengers are treated to unparalleled opulence with the First-Class Package, featuring heated, ventilated and massaging seats, folding tables, and a refrigerator for your champagne. There’s even the option to create a serene atmosphere as part of the Air Balance package.

Technology

When it comes to technological advances, the S680 Maybach is loaded with the newest cutting-edge features. The MBUX infotainment system boasts a 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen, wireless charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, as well as a premium navigation system with augmented reality and Heads-Up Display.

Under the hood, the S680 Maybach is powered by a 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo engine that produces an astounding 621 horsepower and 900nM of torque. This power is seamlessly transferred to the road through a nine-speed automatic transmission and the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, ensuring a smooth and exhilarating driving experience.

With the AIRMATIC® air suspension and MAGIC BODY CONTROL®, the Maybach glides effortlessly over any road surface, providing a silky-smooth ride for its passengers. The innovative E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL® system further enhances the ride quality by scanning the road ahead and adjusting the suspension accordingly.

Safety features

Safety is paramount in the S680 Maybach, as it is with any Mercedes-Benz, so we are treated to a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a 360-degree surround-view camera. This magnificent machine also comes equipped with the revolutionary Mercedes PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side system, which uses radar sensors to detect an impending side collision and moves the passengers away from the impact zone.

There's no doubt that the Mercedes S680 Maybach is the pinnacle of automotive luxury and performance. If you're in the market for a vehicle that combines unparalleled refinement, cutting-edge technology, and exhilarating power, the S680 Maybach should be at the top of your list, and you will always be travelling First Class.
