New Mercedes-Maybach S-class comes to India on March 3

Mercedes says the new Maybach S-class will launch in India on March 3. Based on the new V223 S-class that launched in India last year, the Maybach will pack in a plusher cabin and more space owing to a 180mm longer wheelbase.

The new Maybach S-class does not stray far from the standard S-class in terms of looks. The longer wheelbase and larger rear door aside, this luxury limousine features a number of Maybach specific cosmetic tweaks, including the signature Maybach grille, unique wheel designs, additional chrome and the Maybach logo on the C-pillar.

The cabin design too, is in-line with the regular S-class but with Maybach specific upholstery — trim inserts and graphics for the touchscreen and digital instrument cluster. The Maybach S-class will be available in a four-seat layout with individual powered rear seats separated by a full-length floor console. In terms of features, the Maybach will pack in all the bells and whistles from the regular S-class with some additional kit and a lengthy list of options.
