About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class
2nd-generation Mercedes-Maybach S-Class (Z223), third model year; no redesign or mid-cycle refresh
Mercedes positions the Maybach S-Class as its most passenger-focused luxury sedan: a stretched S-Class built around rear-seat space, quietness, and chauffeur-style comfort. Its seven-inch-longer wheelbase, massaging rear seats, advanced cabin technology, air suspension, and extensive sound insulation distinguish it from ordinary full-size luxury sedans, while understated styling offers a less conspicuous alternative to a Rolls-Royce Ghost or Bentley Flying Spur.
The S 580 remains the core model, with a 496-hp V8 mild-hybrid engine, AWD, massaging front and rear seats, and a rear entertainment system. The S 680 sits above it with a 621-hp V12, while both regular models feature rear-axle steering, a 12.8-inch touchscreen, and a 30-speaker Burmester sound system.
