Listed below are the most incredible features you will find on this fantastic car.
10 Classy Exterior
Even when it is not built to be as showy as its super-luxe rivals, the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-class(S580) has an exterior styling that is designed to make it stand out. It is considerably bigger than the standard S-class with a stretched wheelbase and at 215.3 inches in length. Details found on the front include a chrome fin smack in the middle of the bonnet and the Mercedes-Maybach radiator grille with the word MAYBACH etched into the chrome top of the grille.
The S580 comes with wider rear doors with the C-pillar sporting a fixed quarter light, and the Maybach brand logo. The picture of elegance is completed with 19 or 20 inches 34-bespoke alloy wheels.
9 Executive Rear Seat Plus
Do you want to experience the magic of feeling like royalty while being chauffeured around in total comfort? Then the Executive Rear Seat Plus Package is a must for you. In addition to the standard executive seats, this package comes with an electronic console in the middle, two folding tables, two extra USB ports, and two HDMI ports.
It also comes with two temperature-controlled cup holders, two Maybach customized silver plated champagne glasses, and a refrigerator compartment to store cooled drinks and food. The rear doors are electrically regulated and open and close with very little effort.
8 64-Color Active Ambience Lighting
Entering the rear of the S580 is an experience in itself as 253 LEDS combine to put on a "Welcome Rear" light show to make you feel at home. This is the Active Ambient Lighting, the adaptive rear lighting used for the first time in the Mercedes-Maybach. The intelligent light band offers rosé gold, white and amethyst glow as color themes with both comfort and safety functions.
The brightness and positioning of the lighting system can be altered by the occupants to suit their needs which may be a precise light for work, a soft light for relaxation, or a wide range in between.
7 Active Road Noise Cancellation
The 2021 Maybach S-class has taken noise cancellation to another level with the Active Road Noise Compensation, making an already quiet interior even quieter. The Burmester sound system's bass speakers produce sound waves that mirror the waveform of the low-frequency noises generated from the road surface.
The system uses acceleration sensors, microphones, and a special algorithm to measure, monitor, and adapt in a matter of milliseconds. An extra absorbent foam material is laid around the rear wheel arches, and tires are also available with foam absorbers to further reduce noise.
6 Superb MBUX Infotainment System
Another new piece of technology on the S580 is the second generation of MBUX, which connects to most of the vehicle systems and detectors to make it easier to control vehicle functions. The user interface is on large touch screens with a similar grid layout found on tablets.
This new version of MBUX comes with an increase in processing power and voice controls. More information is made available to drivers and passengers of the S580 through the voice assistant, programmed to understand commands in up to 27 languages.
5 MBUX Interior Assist
The MBUX Interior Assist, available to take luxury to the next level, is designed to recognize and interpret the intentions of occupants using laser cameras. It reads the body movement, eye movement, and hand gestures of occupants and uses this information to assist in whatever vehicle functions that may be required automatically.
For instance, if a passenger enters and settles in the rear seat, then reaches for the seatbelt, the MBUX Interior Assist will interpret the hand gesture, and the belt extender will automatically offer the seat belt.
4 Maybach Signature Fragrance
The 2021 Mercedes Benz Maybach is fitted with an electronically operated ionizer to filter and purify the air inside the cabin. This helps to get rid of harmful particles that can cause irritations or trigger allergic reactions. Each time you step into the Maybach S580, you can be sure that your olfactory senses will be pampered by clean air and a unique Maybach fragrance.
A canister of this signature scent is attached to the air ionizing system allowing the scent to waft into the cabin, and the luxury vehicle surely smells like $180,000.
3 Massage Seats
The 2021 Maybach is fitted with regular executive leather seats engineered to provide luxurious comfort to the occupants. But what happens when you are stiff, stressed out, and yet trapped inside the S580? A gentle rubdown, yes, a warm massage can get you energized and ready to go on.
The 2021 Maybach is an absolute wonder on wheels with climate-controlled rear seats with heated panels that warmly massage sore neck, shoulders, and back muscles. The footrest also has a calf massager.
2 Augmented Reality Head-Up Display
The Augmented Reality Head-Up Display is a beautiful piece of technology that helps drivers with navigation. It transforms the Maybach S580 windshield into an exciting digital information screen. It projects a virtual picture of important navigation information directly in the driver's line of vision, allowing the driver's attention to remain focused on the traffic conditions in front of him.
AR Heads-Up Display connects to the car's GPS and infrared cameras to notify the driver of the right lane to take, where to turn, and to identify the distance from other cars.
1 Safer Back Seats
For 2021, the 100-year-old Mercedes Benz Maybach marque now comes with several features that help to make the rear seats safer. Apart from the standard rear-seat airbags meant for broadside impacts, the S580 also sports rear airbags that can be deployed in a head-on collision.
These rear seat airbags deploy at slower speeds than the front airbags and protect the heads and necks of rear occupants. Seat cushion airbags and inflatable belt straps also enhance safety during collisions.
