Overview
- Mercedes‑Maybach’s refreshed flagship, which adds the brand’s latest tech and trim updates, opens for orders in select European markets from March 25, 2026, with series production starting in April at Werk 56 in Sindelfingen.
- In Europe the S 680 badge now denotes an updated 612‑hp V8, while the V12 stays only for certain non‑EU markets and the armored Guard model due to emissions rules and falling demand for twelve‑cylinder engines.
- The car debuts the Mercedes‑Benz Operating System, known as MB.OS, with the wide Superscreen up front and two 13.1‑inch displays in the rear; Motor1 reports the virtual assistant will use generative AI such as ChatGPT 4o and Google Gemini.
- Maybach‑specific touches include a larger grille, rosé‑gold inlays in the headlights, market‑dependent illuminated badging, and floating wheel center caps, plus extra cabin hush, executive rear seats, and optional power rear doors.
- A fully leather‑free ‘Mirville’ interior made from linen and recycled polyester is offered for the first time, and though prices are not yet published, German outlets expect about an €80,000 premium over the standard S‑Class, putting entry near or above €200,000.
