It’s not each and every day that we can say we’re surprised by how small a hyper-luxurious automobile charges, especially when it involves anything with “Mercedes” or “Maybach” in its name. Today isn’t a regular day, then, because the new 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, which we just drove for the very first time, is coming in at, a-hem, “just” $ 190,275.
That is $ 22,450 a lot more than the smaller 2016 Mercedes-Benz S600 on which it is based, but the price tag difference shrinks to about $ 13K when you add features to the S600 that are common on the ‘Bach. But wait, there’s a lot more! The shipping charge has come down to the same $ 925 necessary in most other Benzes, which is about a third of the $ 2750 Maybach utilised to charge to drop off its 57 and 62 limousines. At $ 2,806 per added inch of length (the Maybach’s 8 inches longer than the S600), the Mercedes-Maybach’s not precisely a low-cost upgrade, specifically when you take into account that a $ 5000 bottle of champaign is most likely regarded a typical buy for the car’s target purchaser. Very good issue, then, that the S600 can be fitted with a refrigerator in between the rear seats—the residence fridge is for those $ 10,000 bottles, anyway.
Far much more essential to prospective buyers are the spoils, and you will get a lot of ‘em with the Mercedes-Maybach S600, like a lot of of the a lot more desirable possibilities on the S-Class. Common goodies contain special wood and decorative components, Mercedes’ nifty Intelligent Drive driver-assistance package, Magic Body Control (a.k.a. “Bumps-be-gone!”) adaptive suspension, infrared evening vision, a panoramic sunroof, the S-class’s warmth and comfort alternative packages, a heated windshield, a head-up show, Burmester “High-End 3D” surround sound audio, the Executive rear seat package, rear-seat entertainment, and, of course, the S-class’ fabulous perfume atomizer. Naturally, the Mercedes-Maybach will be provided with a lot of choices to tailor the vehicle to its owner’s liking, and alas, raise the price to more expected levels, but those have but to be fully outlined or priced.
As if it matters to the one %, the S600’s pricing is competitive with the $ 197,825 Bentley Flying Spur V-8 and the Rolls-Royce Ghost, each of which offer a greater sense of occasion, if not really the very same levels of technological sophistication. Given the state of the ever-audacious pricing policies of luxury carmakers—and Mercedes in particular—you couldn’t have convinced any one of us here that that the large ‘Bach would come in a cent below $ 200K, but right here we are. Will Maybach succeed below Benz’s wing exactly where it failed (practically) on its personal, specifically without having the size and glitz of its competitors? Properly, if not every person wealthy sufficient to own 1 desires to appear so lucky rich—it may just stand a opportunity.
