S-Class (W223) [Official] Mercedes-Maybach S-Class (Z223)

[Ozy]

The body design turned out great. There is a since of coherence about it, even in extra long wheelbase form.
I like it better than the W222 version. The interior is not special enough to separate it from the S-Class range IMO. Some extra steps should have been taken to differentiate it.
List of items I would have done differently.
1. Unique, more upscale Maybach steering wheel.
2. Unique HVAC supply vents with a vertical grid design like the grill.
3. wood grain designer center console.
4. Replace (or make optional) the Mercedes emblem with the Maybach on the hood, steering wheel and boot. The MB emblem is tacky with the Maybach together IMO.

I agree with you, these differences would be very welcome, but it’s quite a weird situation because the car changes depending on what you compare it with. If we compare it to the w223 then it’s more luxurious, gives a better experience on the backseat for sure, but as you said more would be welcome. On the other hand if we compare it to other luxury sedans like the A8 and the 7er then the w223 is already ahead of them, and you can get the Maybach for the price of the future AMG, with the same v12, so then it’s something very outstanding. Also it’s different when we compare it to the Flying Spur or the new Ghost, where I believe it is mostly a question of preference as oppose to which is better since all three options are special and great in their own way.

It's very nice, but one issue I have with this design... Russian doll syndrome. I already saw it. It's a more bulky waaay bigger CLA, CLS XXL. The top of the line, ultimate model with extra luxurious brand name should not resemble the entry model. ESPECIALLY when the "baby" model came out first. If it was the other way around you could say that the A/CLA mimics the top dog, then I sort of understand. The interrior is stunning though.

My issue with Maybach is that it is really little more than a specification package. I'd love to see bespoke, limited production vialble exercises based (at least remotely) on, for example, the "6" concept cars. As it stands now, Maybachs are basically "standard" M-B luxury sedans featuring makeup applied by inebriated visagists.

I don’t see where they’ve tried to be anything more than that since the brand was relaunched after the the 57 and 62 failed. It is a specification package not a separate car. Not sure why this is so hard for so many to grasp now.

The design looks incoherent to me, those triangular tail lights don't go very well with the various curvaceous elements. Also the headlights look very... underwhelming. They don't go well with a car that is supposed to look imposing!

The red one is just amazing imagine that red and the white interior its just elegance and class..I do like some of the two tone ot generally a fan of two tone...this is definitely better suited to the two tone then the previous gen..

The interior is beautiful and would love to drive in the rear compartment.

Love the New door opening a closing feature for rear doors .

Yes they could have done more to separate it from the S but I doubt they want that at this stage..with the changes they made they milk the money and increase profit while growing the Maybach brand ...

We will also probably have a EQS verion if your read between the lines of what OLA said today.

I never thought that a red car can scream so much opulence....

 

[MAJESTIC]

This is why Mercedes will continue to be a step above BMW and Audi IMO. This is such a well executed flagship, but this is the S-Class after all and Mercedes does not screw around with this car. The lesser brands should take notes.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Mercedes designers on form once again.

Yes more bespoke interior touches would have been welcome, but they're just following the same successful formula of the W222. It's an S class trim level selected by 1/6 buyers.

Nice wheels. Overall looks quite nice. I'd say the only version worth buying.

The engines for the S-Class Maybach

S 450 / S 480 4matic with 367 HP + 21 HP ISG (M256); Whether the variant starts in Europe has not yet been finally decided (S480 is the name for China)

S 580 4matic plug-in hybrid (367 +150 PS) (only for selected markets, market launch not right at the beginning)

S 580 4matic with 503 PS and 20 PS ISG (V8 M177)

S 680 4matic with 612 PS (without 48 volt ISG)

Where are all the normal crowds that would normally greet me?

I can project with the best of them.

I invite you inside.

A different side of me, do you like?

My other eyes.

I am so bright.

Guess which ancestor I borrowed these shoes from?

I'm ready-red.

Nothing is softer.

Pedal me.

I am Maybach.

Lovely, for shitloads of money you get spaghetti strainer in front bumper...

That red one with multispoke rims looks fantastic, but the 2tone gold and burgendy....mmmm not sure about that one

I like the 2 tone black and white, it suits this car very well, really classy.

Best seat in the house. I wish and so much wish Mercedes could have made the leather and wood unique to the Maybach, but they disappointingly used the same colours and trim as the S-class

The wood trim on the back of the front seats look so nice

I love the unique brake and accelerator pedals.

The center cap of the multispoke wheels looks magnificent with a sculptured 3 pointed star

wtf is this ?
this should not happen...a 250-300k eur car with this...even a Renault Clios is more precise.
And no, this are no pre-production cars, this are cars for f*** official pictures !
