The Mercedes S-Class Maybach adds a plus of luxury and exclusivity to the Mercedes S-Class. Maybach was a manufacturer of zeppelins, but after the Second World War, starting in 1960, it began manufacturing luxury vehicles together with Mercedes. Their vehicles stand out for their high quality, their exclusivity and their manufacturing method, since they used to produce their models by hand.
Currently, Maybach only has the S-Class in its range of models, to which it adds a specific interior and exterior design, and an extra comfort in its cabin.

The cabin is only suitable for four passengers, and those in the rear seats will gain more prominence.
