The Maybach nameplate returned in 2015 not as a separate brand but as a trim level for the already luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class. But it was more than just some posh on the wheels.

Maybach didn't make it well after the 2008 world economic crisis, and it was cut from the assembly line. Seven years later, Mercedes-Benz decided to introduce it as a trim level. The features and amenities installed on the S-Class, along with the Maybach badge applied on the C-pillars, were a statement for the new luxury line, which almost doubled the price of the S-Class. In 2018, a facelift was introduced.

The 2018 S-Class Maybach was longer than the longest S-Class, and between its front and rear axle, it could fit a SMART four-four. At the front, the grille design was different than the one existing on the regular S-Class. But the three-pointed-star badge was still installed on top of the radiator grille and on the hood.

Inside, the Maybach offered a higher level of luxury and technology than most of the limousines on the planet. It was certainly a car built for the rear two passengers since there were just two seats separated by an ample center console. The reclining seats, the touch-screens in the back of the front seats, or the electric shades for the side windows are just a few examples of fine luxury features. For the sound system, a 3D Burmeister unit with 26 speakers could ensure a concert-hall quality level. On long journeys, the rear seat occupants could enjoy an intense massage experience with specific music and aromatherapy surround them.

Mercedes-Benz offered this hi-class luxury experience with a choice of two gasoline engines. The base version, with 469 hp, was offered with rear- or all-wheel-drive.
