Mercedes-Maybach S580 unveiled, and it redefines luxury

Look to the side and it is evident that the vehicle is longer than the S-Class, there is chrome window trim, a triangular rear quarter window, and even an illuminated Maybach logo is there on the rear pillar. The vehicle comes with rear axle steering as standard.

The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has been officially revealed, with the first Australian deliveries slated to arrive in the fourth quarter of next year. This figure is 180mm more than what the Long-Wheelbase (LWB) S-Class offers (3,216mm).

The German manufacturer revived the Maybach nameplate in 2015 for its most luxurious models, and following on from the recent unveiling of the standard S-Class, the new Maybach model has now been revealed.

The Mercedes Maybach S-Class 2021 doesn't just offer an ultra expensive drive experience from within but looks the part of being a palace on wheels as well.

Like in a Rolls-Royce, the extended rear doors can be operated electrically, while the individually adjustable rear bucket seats feature backrests that can adjust between 19 and 44 degrees and there is a deployable leg rest on the passenger side. The aim is to ensure optimum NVH, and to that end, the Maybach S-Class gets plenty of insulation throughout its body, along with thicker laminated glass, and noise-reduced tyres with foam absorbers.

In addition, the Maybach S-Class gets an active ambient lighting system, which consists of 253 LEDs, a head-up display with augmented reality, along with an optional Interior Assist function, which uses cameras to track movements of the passengers and triggers certain functions.

On the safety front, a fully-equipped Maybach S-Class will have 18 airbags in total, along with a bunch of other safety systems. The motor develops 496 bhp and 700 Nm of peak torque, which is put right down to the rear wheels utilizing the 9-speed automated transmission.

Beneath the daily-buffed bodywor, over an extended wheelbase extended by seven inches, sits the same running gear as the top-spec S-Class, mating a four-liter biturbo V-8 to a 48-volt hybrid system with EQ Boost. Meanwhile, the new-generation S-Class can be slated to reach subsequent 12 months within the nation with costs anticipated to begin from ₹ 1.5 crore (all costs, ex-showroom) onwards. If that's the case, then Mercedes has got you covered too. These include Pre-Safe and Driving Assistance packages, so driver and occupants are well covered from autonomous emergency braking, to active lane keep assist, right on through to emergency stop assist.

It's unclear which powertrain is making its way to India, when the Maybach S-Class is launched here in the first half of 2021.
