After seeing the actual car, I directly concluded that the new generation of Maybach S has arrived, and those who bought the old model before are expected to queue up for a new one.
In fact, the old Maybach S was almost perfect in the eyes of many people, and this generation ushered in a lot of discussions, so how to surpass the previous generation of Maybach S is a new issue facing designers.
My first impression when I saw the actual car was that the new generation of models has a stronger aura!
The reason is very simple. After the headlights are reduced, there is more room for the front face to play, so the size of the shield-shaped air intake grille has been increased, and the design of the grille frame has changed from hexagonal to octagonal, which is obviously more fashionable.
The fog lamp area of the previous generation model was very passer-by, just a few chrome-plated strips. On the new Maybach S, the fog lamp is surrounded by a large circle of chrome plating, which also enhances the stability and refinement of the lower half of the front face. At the same time, the details are still very delicate mesh grilles, which can be said to be luxurious.
Let’s take a look at the other differences between the Maybach S and S classes.
The dense straight waterfall-type chrome-plated strips are also exclusive to Maybach, and a crease is also made on them to make the entire grille more three-dimensional; the top of the grille is Maybach’s logo, but the three-pronged logo is still retained on the hood; in fact, these planes in the middle are all sensor arrangements used to assist driving.
It can be seen that the Maybach S has a rib line extending from the middle of the air intake grille to the center of the hood, which has been specially chrome trim. This is a specially prominent design element of this generation of Maybach S, which can be traced back to the 770 series of Mercedes-Benz’s most peak model in the 1930s. There is no such detail in the ordinary S-class model.
The Maybach S headlights come standard with a multi-beam of light LED system. The high-end model’s "multi-beam of light LED digital lighting system" Digital Light refers to a new lighting resolution that can exceed 2.60 million pixels, allowing the headlights to project the effect of meteor showers.
Walking to the side of the car, the new Maybach S-class wheelbase has been lengthened by 180mm and stretched to 3396mm, obviously all placed behind the B-pillar, which allows the rear triangular window to be fixed on the C-pillar, and the length of the rear door is enough to make the rear cabin look more grand. The whole car uses a hidden door handle, which can be popped and closed only by touching the handle, which is full of ritual. It is said that the lighting effect of the door handle is also brighter than that of the ordinary S-class.
In addition, the full set of silver window edges and B-pillars can be immediately recognized as Maybach on the road; the Maybach logo behind the window once again shows its exclusivity. Another feature of the Maybach S is the big cake wheel hub – the 19-inch exclusive wheel has a glossy design, which is "beautiful and moving".
It is a pity that the Maybach S we explored did not have a two-tone body. It is said that there will be a 4mm color line on the two-tone body, and that line is sprayed by hand. The two-tone body takes a whole week from the start of painting to drying and then to the completion of the color line spraying.
The rear design of the car is basically the same as that of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The inverted triangle rear light group will make the vision more subdued, and the bottom set of chrome decoration also highlights the high-end attributes of Maybach.
The "S480" logo on the rear of the car means that this is the starting model of the Maybach S, but it is also equipped with a 3.0T inline-six engine plus 48V light mix – not a V6 engine, brothers – with a maximum power of 270kW and a maximum torque of 500N · m. The motor can also output an additional 180N · m and 15kW, and it is still matched with a 9AT gearbox.
The interior design of the Maybach S basically continues the new generation of S-class digital luxury design. The 12.8-inch large screen of the straight waterfall is made of OLED material instead of traditional LCD, which brings higher display brightness and color saturation. The 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard looks flat, but it is actually a naked eye 3D effect. At the same time, with the second-generation MBUX car machine, the entire human-machine interaction system has cancelled the physical buttons, just like operating on the large iPad Pro.
The difference between the Maybach S and the ordinary S-class in the interior is that the steering wheel has been redesigned separately. The new V-shaped three-frame steering wheel is also made of walnut wood, which is thicker than the ordinary S-class cylindrical design. The hole in the middle corresponds to the Maybach "midline element", and the English letters of Maybach are also on the bottom. The multi-function buttons on the steering wheel are still fully touch design – the "ok" button in the middle is also capacitive touch, which can be slid up and down. This hidden skill we worked on for a while – more digital age feeling.
Hopefully, this will make the new Internet billionaires of the digital age fall in love with the feeling of driving.
At Maybach’s level, the last thing to worry about is the workmanship. Top-of-the-line Nappa leather, diamond double-stitch quilting, glossy walnut veneer, silver in aluminum rather than chrome, and delicate knob hemming on the facade are all designed to create a luxurious, comfortable atmosphere, like being on a luxury yacht.
However, the real selling point of the flagship of the Maybach S is the rear cabin space – I don’t say "rear space" because the luxury of the second row of the Maybach S is not just about riding, but more like providing a first-class overall environment.
This Maybach S480 is a five-seat model, but it is clear that the middle seat is "very temporary", while the left and right independent executive seats are arranged from the head to the legs for comfort. The rear executive seats are also made of Nappa leather with good visual and tactile feel, and the diamond diamond-shaped sewing process is very good to show the softness of the seat, so you don’t need to sit down to feel that luxury and comfort.
After being seated, the seat belt will be automatically delivered, which is a configuration only available in general sports cars. The entire seat system can be adjusted to a maximum inclination of 43.5 degrees, and the travel of the legs is increased by 50mm, allowing the rear passengers to achieve a half-lying posture. As long as there are no passengers in the front row, the right seat in the rear row can be adjusted to "lie down mode" with one click, and the front row will be automatically stored. It can even adjust the angle of the second row of display screens for easy lying down and watching. This function can be called "first class on the road".
In addition, Maybach S seats have almost all the functions you want, such as ventilated and heated massages, which can bring a little warmth to Lawton’s bosses on the road. If that’s not enough, Maybach also offers the "Seat Comfort Package" – more adjustable functions to fit the VIP’s body, and has massage and shoulder and neck heating functions.
Of course, the back row of Maybach S is not just "comfortable and able to lie down", the strongest point of this generation of Maybach S is "strong sense of technology".
Although there were many people competing to close the door for the bosses, the dummy hand was not very elegant. Therefore, the Maybach S added an electric rear door switch. With the button on the top of the head, the door can be automatically closed with just a touch. This configuration is so advanced that it is only available in tens of millions of models like the Pullman. Now, bosses can choose it on the Maybach S for a little more money.
In addition, the new car is equipped with a function called "intelligent sensor assistant in the rear". Sensors and intelligent algorithms in the car will provide an adaptive lighting system based on the eyes, gestures and body movements of the rear passengers. It can automatically adjust the brightness, light range and lighting position. The rear passengers can also switch the door, adjust the position of the front row, and switch the sunshade on and off through gestures.
The sound system of the Maybach S cannot be ignored. The Burmester Sound of Berlin 4D surround sound system has 31 speakers and 8 harmonic exciters. While providing beautiful sound, it can also actively reduce noise, further strengthening the Maybach S-Class’s title as "the quietest car in the world". Remember, there is no one.
Summarize:
As we all know, the Chinese market is the country where Maybach is sold the most in the world, and the number of other countries combined is only half of the Chinese market. It is said that 700 billionaires choose Maybach models every month. After experiencing this generation of models, this number may increase. Queues and price increases are essential.
Why are China’s wealthy people willing to choose Maybach? Is it because it is cheaper than Rolls-Royce? Maybe this is part of the reason, but the main reason may be that Mercedes-Benz is indeed the best at meeting the needs of billionaires, especially in an era where young billionaires are emerging.
For many billionaires who have driven and ridden in many luxury cars, they may not care about whether their car is 2 million yuan or 10 million yuan. The difference is like whether you spend 2 yuan or 10 yuan. But what they care more about is which car allows them to take off the pressure and responsibility in front of others and enjoy a moment of ease and comfort.
So, choose a Rolls-Royce to escape the pursuit of the world, or sit in the Maybach S more comfortable, I think the answer is self-evident.
