Just two months after the mid‑cycle refresh of the standard S‑Class, Mercedes‑Maybach unveiled the most ambitious upgrade of its flagship sedan at an exclusive ceremony in Beijing. The 2026 Maybach S‑Class adopts the brand’s newest S‑Class design language, promising a “peaceful island” of serenity for its occupants.
Design Evolution
The facelifted Maybach S‑Class makes an immediate statement with an oversized radiator grille framed by distinctive Maybach vertical slats. A sleek air intake bears the iconic monogram, while the double‑star LED headlights, now accented with Rose Gold tones, echo the premium aesthetic of the standard S‑Class.
Wheel options include a polished 20‑inch forged multi‑spoke design and a 21‑inch Manufaktur wheel finished in gold‑tone plating, allowing owners to customise the car’s stance.
Dimensions and Exterior Customisation
- Overall size: 5,484 mm L × 1,921 mm W × 1,510 mm H
- Wheelbase: 3,396 mm (190 mm longer than the standard S‑Class)
- Maybach badge extends 290 mm beyond the conventional S‑Class lettering
Maybach’s Manufaktur program offers more than 150 new paint colours, with single‑tone or two‑tone combinations, and a Made‑to‑Measure bespoke service for truly unique finishes.
Rear Styling
The rear fascia retains the three‑star light cluster of the S‑Class but adds a pronounced diffuser and chrome‑tipped exhaust outlets, reinforcing the model’s high‑end character.

All three screens operate on a unified interface, delivering seamless connectivity and AI‑driven assistance.
