Wilhelm #Maybach could be considered the father of the Luxury Automobile, being the designer of the first "Mercedes" which appeared in 1901 for a customer whose daughter Mercedes later named the model and the legendary car brand!

Today as an off shoot Mercedes trim much like AMG, the modern #MercedesMaybach is a huge hit, with cars like the S680 Maybach and more surprisingly, the GLS Maybach which has been a massive success too!

So unsurprising that given the direction of the world, Maybach now finally gets its first fully #electriccar. It’s based on the EQS SUV, but essentially tears put the 7 seats, in fact all of the interior, and replaces it with S Class Maybach seats and rear cocoon. And then a tonne of other Maybach DNA in every area.

In terms of propulsion, we have the same two large PSMs front and rear - but now encased in to reduce noise. They make 658hp and 950nm and are paired to a 108kw battery and 4Matic all wheel drive. Helping it do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, not that the passenger will care! They will care more about the 600KM quoted range, which is damned impressive for a large and heavy EV SUV like this.

Air suspension is of course standard, with continuous damping - the Maybach driving mode makes the rear even more comfortable thanks to an oscillating node in the rear helping reduce any rear movement. Oh and the usual rear wheel steering these cars have.

In terms of acoustics - Further rubber mountings for these too, and acoustic foam in key areas like the wheel arches to reduce noise, and acoustic glass too - all standard my Maybach stuff! The Maybach driving mode returns in the EV too, more comfortable than “comfort”, and EV Maybach get’s a unique sound profile called Aerial grace.

But what is MUCH more Maybach, is that interior. As I said, pulling the best parts from the S680 and GLS Maybach, we have the same cocoon rear commanding seats with waterfall style wood trim. Extensive use of high quality materials covers what is a truly epic luxury interior - tonnes of details to show you inside!
