Hypebeast takes a deep dive into the defining features and modern updates.

Through generations of refining and redesigning, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has remained a symbol of luxury and comfort-focused design. Having sold thousands of models worldwide, the series continues to be a go-to for those in the market for a high-end sedan. So, how exactly has the brand stayed true to its iconic heritage in today's landscape of luxury?

The answer lies in the brand's 360° approach to design. Understanding the purpose of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class - from everyday driving to chauffeured traveling - it has nailed down the various requirements for its models. Mercedes-Maybach has ensured it keeps these needs in mind, paying close attention to every detail in order to give its prestigious clientele an unfaltering series of automobiles that lend to a palatial drive, whether they're sat in the driver's seat or the rear.

For the initial launch of the Mercedes-Maybach series, the brand came up with a template of what future sedans would look like. Based on the already popular Mercedes Benz S-Class line, the debut model was fitted with a V-12 engine and extended wheelbase and therefore featured an enlarged rear cabin and top-of-the-range noise, vibration, and harshness measures that closely weaved the S-Class series together with Maybach's unique characteristics to create a fit-for-purpose, limousine-style car.
