the mercedes-maybach is the second sub-brand in the mercedes-benz group and provides both prestige and exclusivity to customers for whom status is important. the spacious interior envelops passengers in lounge-style, modern luxury that embodies elegance. this is represented by the hand-stitched door trims, chrome-plated tweeter grilles and fibre-optic cables for the ambiance lighting, which all together create a unique, capacious atmosphere.

the extended wheelbase design has emphatic lines which suggest power and dynamism, and combines stylish, effortless superiority with trend-setting exclusivity. one feature which encapsulates how the car is formed to offer privacy is how the rear doors have no triangular windows in order to keep the passenger seats out of view. even with the large windows, the vehicle is the world’s quietest production saloon as the level of wind noise is very low.
