Mercedes-Benz India will expand its Maybach range in the country, as it announced that the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Limousine will finally come to India on March 3, 2022. The arrival of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Limousine will also mark the first India launch in 2022 for the brand with a three-pointed star. The all-new offering sits on top of the S-Class line-up as its most luxurious iteration with more rear legroom, more creature comfort, and more opulence as well. The uber-luxury saloon is although based on the new S-Class, has an extended wheelbase of 180mm, making it nearly 5.5 metres in length. [3]

Figure 1 shows Inside, Maybach has taken the already luxurious cabin of the S-Class to the next level. More to the point, this Maybach S-Class features two individual first-class style seats in the back with all the bells and whistles. Not to forget, it also comes with a refrigerator to accommodate a bottle of champagne and a couple of champagne flutes. [1]

For India, Mercedes will probably offer two powertrains in the Maybach S-Class. The S580 will get a 4.0-litre, V8 turbocharged petrol mill linked to a 48-volt mild hybrid system. On the other hand, the S680 will come equipped with a 6.0-litre V12 turbocharged petrol motor. Both the engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox. [1]

Mercedes-Maybach S-class: Styling and interior

As with its predecessor, the new Maybach S-class doesn’t stray far from the standard S-class in terms of looks. Longer wheelbase and larger rear door aside, the luxury limousine features a number of Maybach specific cosmetic tweaks, including the signature Maybach grille, unique wheel designs, additional chrome and the Maybach logo on the C-pillar.

The cabin design too is in-line with the regular S-class with Maybach specific upholstery, trim inserts and graphics for the touchscreen and digital instrument cluster. Expect the Maybach S-class to be available in a four-seat layout with the individual rear seats seperated by a full-length floor console. As with the regular S-class, the chauffeur package – adds powered rear seats, seat massage and a boss mode to stretch out on the co-driver side – will be fitted as standard.

In terms of equipment, expect the Maybach S-class to pack in all the bells and whistles from the regular S-class along with some additional kit and a lengthy list of options. [2]
