The flagship of Mercedes‑Benz’s S‑Class range receives a comprehensive upgrade for 2027, positioning the Maybach variant at the very top of the luxury sedan hierarchy. The automaker describes the refresh as the most extensive update ever for the Maybach S‑Class, blending fresh visual cues with cutting‑edge technology.
Exterior Evolution: Subtle Yet Striking
Stylistic changes focus on visual impact rather than a complete redesign. The front grille grows by roughly 20 %, and the new Digital Light LED matrix headlights feature a three‑pointed star pattern that doubles as a positioning light. The chrome‑trimmed air intakes retain their signature look, now adorned with a Maybach emblem pattern. Buyers can also opt for a illuminated grille frame and a custom hood‑cover badge.
Rear styling stays largely unchanged, with the sole highlight being the taillights that echo the three‑star motif from the front. A vertical Maybach “D” logo on the trunk lid gains a subtle back‑lighting strip for added night‑time presence.
Wheels & Badging
Maybach introduces a new forged‑aluminum wheel option that showcases a raised central logo, designed to stay perfectly level regardless of wheel rotation—mirroring a technique used by Rolls‑Royce. Customers can choose either a multi‑spoke chrome‑finished design or a fully black‑cast wheel with repeated Maybach insignia.
Interior: A Mobile Executive Lounge
The cabin is transformed into a private executive lounge. The former Hyperscreen is replaced by a Dual‑Screen Superscreen layout: a 14.4‑inch central infotainment panel, a 12.3‑inch secondary screen for passengers, and a 12.3‑inch 3D driver‑display. All screens run on the latest MB.OS operating system integrated with AI‑driven voice assistants that interface with Microsoft, Google and other cloud services. The AI can suggest destinations based on user habits, adjust climate settings according to tone of voice, and even learn preferred seat positions.
Beyond the standard leather finishes, Mercedes now offers alternative interior trims such as premium wood veneers and fully synthetic, textile‑based upholstery for buyers seeking a different kind of luxury.
Rear‑Seat Sanctuary
The rear compartment receives the most lavish treatment. Two 13.1‑inch entertainment screens are controlled via new touch‑sensitive joysticks that also manage climate, sunshades, ambient lighting and dual heated‑massage seats with hot stone therapy. A one‑touch power‑door system, fully reclining business‑class style seats, and a silver‑plated champagne holder with wireless charging complete the experience. Enhanced acoustic insulation makes the cabin whisper‑quiet.
Chassis & Suspension Intelligence
The new Maybach inherits the active suspension from the latest S‑Class, now equipped with forward‑looking terrain‑mapping sensors that memorize potholes and rough sections, automatically adjusting damping to maintain a buttery‑smooth ride.
Powertrain Options
- S680 V12: 6.0‑litre twin‑turbo V12, 621 hp, 900 Nm torque.
- S580 Hybrid: 4.0‑litre V8 mild‑hybrid, 530 hp + 23 hp electric, 749 Nm torque, 0‑100 km/h in 4.3 s.
- S560 Plug‑in Hybrid: 3.0‑litre inline‑six turbo, 443 hp + 161 hp electric, 560 Nm torque, 21.96 kWh battery delivering ~96 km electric‑only range.
All variants pair with a 9‑speed automatic gearbox and permanent all‑wheel drive. The latest MB.Drive Assist Pro suite adds Level‑2 autonomous capability for hands‑free cruising between predefined points.
