Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is that the S 680 gains the MANUFAKTUR Leather Package as standard equipment, expanding its Nappa leather cabin trim. Otherwise, this is a quiet carryover year with no major mechanical, safety, technology, or structural updates.
About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class
2nd-generation Mercedes-Maybach S-Class (Z223, 2021-2026), fourth US model year; no mid-cycle refresh
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is an extended-wheelbase luxury sedan built primarily around rear-passenger comfort, quiet travel, and smooth power. Compared with the standard S-Class, it adds substantially more rear legroom, power-adjustable executive seating, richer cabin materials, stronger sound insulation, and more rear-cabin technology. Its core appeal is chauffeured comfort with Mercedes driving technology, positioned against ultra-luxury sedans such as the Bentley Flying Spur and Rolls-Royce Ghost.
The S 580 pairs a 496-hp mild-hybrid V8 and AWD with rear-seat heating, ventilation, massage, and extensive cabin displays. The S 680 steps up to a 621-hp V12, expanded Nappa leather trim, and power-operated rear doors. Both have air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and a Burmester surround-sound system.

“The vehicle is a luxury vehicle with lots of leg room in both the front and rear, a comfortable ride and a quiet ride, lots of technology - a beautiful car, albeit pricey and basically a Mercedes S Class with more technology, luxury and an extension to the Mercedes S Class”
