MERCEDES-MAYBACH S680 4MATIC

Judging Questions

Based on the Mercedes-Benz S Class, the Mercedes-Maybach is the marque’s ultimate luxury sedan. With the available V12 engine, which adds 125 hp over the V8 found in the Maybach S580, buyers can crank luxury and performance to “11.” Inside the capacious interior, the rear seats are the place to be, where passengers enjoy the added legroom afforded by a 7-inch longer wheelbase than the S-Class, while the driver will appreciate handling abetted by rear-axle steering. Tranquility reigns supreme, as the Maybach cabin is among the quietest of any vehicle, gas or electric. Our car’s options include such luxuries as the $6,000 Executive Rear Seat Package, $1,100 refrigerated rear center console, and $1,300 21-inch Champagne flute-design wheels, no doubt inspired by the $3,200 Champagne flutes themselves. Luxury has its price.
