The new 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is here, and it’s designed to set the benchmark for automotive luxury once again. In this review, we take a detailed look at what’s changed, from the exterior design updates to the ultra-opulent interior, cutting-edge technology and chauffeur-focused comfort.
We explore the rear-seat experience, materials, screens, ride comfort and the features that separate Maybach from the standard S-Class. We also look at performance, refinement and whether this latest update keeps the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class at the very top of the luxury car class.
Is this still the ultimate luxury saloon? Or are rivals like Rolls-Royce and Bentley catching up?
This is our first look at the new 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.

The hybrid option would be sweet
They done a good job with the s class on this model
M-M-M-Maybach Music🔥🔥
Several decades ago, many cars had chrome strips on bonnets/hoods. They stopped fitting them for cost, trapping water/polish and noise. Advancements eh! Oh and cows are not murdered for their skin – leather is a by product.
january february march april my diverse new world smh
6:54The most entertaining🤣
The most nicest human being. Such a great great YouTuber 🥇
Bro should have dressed up 😂for this video.
Maybach or Mybach?
Illuminated grills look so shit
Trash
What an ungainly car, specially the front end. Lacks character & expression
Stupid touch screen every where 🤮🤮🤮 and the back light is very ugly design…
Im surprised i like this version, reasonable size wheels. The grill strip light tacky. Interior nice maybe could of took more chances inside. Not more tech. I like the looks of the grill, and the maybach wheels wiuld be good in different colors. The chrome hood fin while looking nice are allways problematic. Just paint one on or mold it.
This is the least impresive upgrade of all times… you didnt saw the last model?? It has the same features… it a small facelift, that's it
it doesn't look cool when you have to put "in a bling type of way"
The wheels on the Night Series are garish and stupid. Also, common sense says get a properly optioned S Class…these Temu Maybachs are expensive trash.
The exterior looks so shi compared to the interior
You Know When Someone is Desperate Because they KEEP Using the LOGO!!Tacky.
Joan Reels afungue branch in Japan awe anafanya pre-purchase inspection from there
Looking over to china you get similar build quality better tech and less logos everywhere for a fraction of
They need to get back the 62 style back lwb with back passenger with separate cabin at the back
Is it "MY Bach" or "MAY Bach" ?
Maybach adding the logo into their grills look so cheap
What about the v12?😅
Pinnacle of luxury? Rolls Royce would like to have word: Rolls‑Royce Phantom.
The software still looks 15 years old; at this point, they need a collaboration with some Chinese company.

Could have got some new clothes and trainers for this one. Ya look a disgrace but your taste is a little sketchy at the best of times.
Other than that. Interior of the car is pretty cool.
not enough maybach logos, looks like a kia
I am not allowed to comment on the presenter(s) ability based on the comment guidelines
Super embarrassing 😂
Yuck – looks like a knock off gucci bag in the front air in take.
We don't need brighter lights causing more danger for other road users
Why is it d pillar, not c pillar
The steering wheel alone could be worth more than my car.
i want to see them cover EVERY SQUARE INCH with an M logo.
make Mansorry look reserved.
The pinnacle of depreciation and everything’s gonna break that is..
Too much plastic. Imagine calling that luxury
Those lower grills on the front are ghastly
I brutally miss when Maybach was MayBach
MB needs to make a Maybach two seater coupe.
Maybach and V6 don't belong in the same sentence also all the screens, temu tablet and phone very cheesy and get me started on all the piano black and the fact that u don't get Maybach hood emblem is a crime
