THE Mercedes-Maybach S-Class melds the perfection of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the exclusivity of Maybach, from impressive spaciousness and elegant design to premium craftsmanship and extrovert luxury. At 5,453 mm long and with a wheelbase of 3,365 mm, the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz model range is 20 cm larger in both dimensions than the S-Class Saloon with long wheelbase. Rear passengers benefit from this increased size as well as from standard equipment that includes executive seats on both left and right, innovative voice amplification and the extended rear trim elements with ambient lighting. In the rear, the Mercedes Maybach S-Class is also the world's quietest production saloon vehicle. Mercedes-Maybach vehicles epitomize peerless exclusivity. Some of the features that distinguish these vehicles from production models include extra spaciousness with lavishly designed, prestigious interiors offering extensive scope for individualization. As a result, the vehicles fulfill the requirements of even the most discerning customers worldwide. Mercedes-Maybach is not an equipment line – it is a sub-brand that in future will provide Mercedes-Benz vehicles in an even more exclusive form. Alongside Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Maybach is thus the second sub-brand in the Mercedes-Benz brand world. Providing both prestige and exclusivity, it is aimed at customers for whom status is important. To enhance the exclusivity, all Mercedes-Maybach S-Class vehicles will be S 600 fitted with its top of the range V12 biturbo engine and output of 390kW (530 hp). It completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds. With a displacement of 5,980 cc, the maximum torque of 830 Nm is available from 1,900 rpm. As standard, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is fitted with a panoramic sliding sunroof. This roof system and its large glass areas make an especially bright and friendly ambience in the interior. For the first time, the sliding sunroof is available with optional MAGIC SKY CONTROL technology from Mercedes-Benz: the glass can be switched to light or dark at the touch of a button. “The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is a vehicle that creates its own niche in the luxury segment, outside the existing market divisions, raising the benchmark to an entirely new level. This is also a car that delivers in equal measure the comfort of being chauffeur-driven or driven by our customers themselves. Strictly speaking, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has no direct competitors because it is positioned in a class of its own. We are confident this vehicle will have immediate appeal for the Saudi Arabian Markets, offering all the technologies and features that our customers are used to from the new S-Class, plus significantly extra on luxury, exclusivity and space,” said Safi Kobeissi, General Manager at Juffali Automotive Co. Ltd. (JACO), the exclusive distributor for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars in KSA. A sense of spaciousness: setting new benchmarks for sleeping and resting comfort in the rear. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is not necessarily chauffeur-driven; owners can also enjoy the comfortable driving of this special vehicle. On the other hand, the benefits of extending the wheelbase by 200 mm are felt entirely in the back of the vehicle where the specification has been refined even more. Due to the roofline, it was also possible to further raise the head clearance. A recommendation that the owner of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class will typically be found in the second row are the standard-fit executive seats on the left and right. These rear seats offer a unique level of comfort thanks to a special adjustment kinematics system. In contrast to the norm, the backrest is adjusted separately while the foot well and seat reference point remain unchanged. The First-Class rear suite (Centre console in the rear - Optional) is a visual continuation of the front console on the center tunnel. It is equipped with innovative thermo cup holders, which use Peltier technology to cool or warm drinks over a longer period of time. Like an aircraft seat, the center console is available with two adjustable tables which can be easily folded in or out using one hand. The table surfaces have leather inserts to provide a comfortable writing surface. As exclusive equipment to the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, passengers can enjoy a drive in style with the two high-quality, silver-plated glasses. — SG
