Facelifted MercedesMaybach S‑Class Debuts With V12, PHEV and Superscreen

The ultra‑luxury sedan centers its upgrade on rear‑seat comfort and a plug‑in setup that pushes electric range close to 100 kilometers.

Overview

  • MercedesMaybach revealed the refreshed S‑Class with bespoke cues such as an illuminated Maybach grille, rose‑gold headlight and taillight details, and forged 20‑ or 21‑inch wheels with self‑leveling caps.
  • The dashboard now runs a triple Superscreen across the cabin with a 12.3‑inch driver display, a 14.4‑inch central touchscreen, and a 12.3‑inch passenger screen.
  • Rear passengers get two reclining seats with power‑operated doors, twin 13.1‑inch displays, a center console with a 10‑liter fridge, and silver‑plated champagne flutes.
  • The range offers a 4.0‑liter V8 with 48‑volt boost, a 3.0‑liter plug‑in hybrid with a 21.9‑kWh battery and roughly 100 km of electric range, and a revised 6.0‑liter V12, paired with Airmatic air suspension that adapts damping in real time.
  • Sales roll out first in Europe and North America, with South African availability still awaiting confirmation.
