Product Overview

The 2nd-generation Maybach S-Class Z223 is the flagship limousine from Mercedes based on the 7th-gen S-Class (W223 / V223) full-size luxury sedan. While barely larger than its predecessor physically, the Z223 Maybach offers ride quality and feature comfort improvements.
As before, the Maybach S-Class Z223 is engineered to be chauffeur-driven. With its extra 18cm of wheelbase compared to the LWB S-Class, the Z223 offers a luxurious, First-Class rear seat experience. A new addition is the optional electrically-operated comfort rear door, allowing the chauffeur to operate the rear doors from the driver's seat.
For cabin comfort, the Z223 also features active road noise compensation that uses the vehicle's bass speakers to cancel road noise actively.
On the outside, the new Maybach S-Class can be configured with dual-tone paint finish that accentuates the vehicle's luxurious appeal.
Like the standard S-Class, air suspension is standard, while the new E-Active Body Control replaces the Magic Body Control found in earlier models. The 2nd-gen Mercedes-Benz Experience (MBUX) dominates the experience, with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and an optional 12.8-inch OLED center display.
Further novelties include the rear-wheel steering that is able to turn the rear wheels to a maximum of 10 degrees, making the extended wheelbase vehicle more maneuverable.
