New Maybach S-Class Unveiled – Key Details

Gets new design updates with illuminated elements Adds advanced AI tech and more comfort features India launch likely in early 2027

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the updated Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, bringing a fresh set of design changes, more luxury features, and updated engine options. The new model builds on the recently updated Mercedes-Benz S-Class but adds extra exclusivity and comfort expected from the Maybach badge.

Exterior Gets Signature Luxury Updates

The new Maybach S-Class gets subtle yet premium design changes. The front grille is now 20 percent larger and comes with LED illumination. It also features Maybach’s signature vertical slats and a glowing Maybach wordmark.

The iconic Mercedes star on the bonnet is now illuminated, adding to the car’s road presence. The headlamps get a new design with three-pointed star LED signatures and rose gold accents, while the tail lamps follow a similar theme.

The sedan also gets new 20-inch and 21-inch alloy wheels, along with an illuminated Maybach logo on the pillar. It continues to be longer than the standard S-Class, offering more space for rear passengers.

More Customisation Options

Mercedes has expanded its ‘Manufaktur’ personalisation options for the Maybach S-Class. Buyers can now choose from a wider range of exterior colours and dual-tone paint schemes.

This allows customers to create a more unique and personalised ultra-luxury sedan.

Cabin Focuses on Comfort and Tech

Inside, the Maybach S-Class continues to prioritise rear seat comfort. The rear seats can recline up to 43 degrees and come with heating, ventilation, and massage functions.

The dashboard now features a large Superscreen setup with a unique Maybach theme and rose gold highlights.

Buyers also get more upholstery options, including extended leather and a new vegan interior option for the first time. Rear passengers now get two smartphone-style remotes to control various features.

AI Tech and Smooth Ride

The updated Maybach S-Class introduces advanced AI features, including a conversational assistant powered by ChatGPT, Bing, and Gemini.

It also uses a new electronic architecture with multiple supercomputers to manage infotainment, safety, and driving functions.

The special Maybach drive mode continues to focus on delivering a softer and smoother ride.

The updated Maybach S-Class is expected to launch in India in early 2027. The S580 variant is likely to be locally assembled, but prices could go beyond ₹3 crore due to added features and technology.
