2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580
Base price starts at more than $185,000
It's one of the most expensive flagship sedans on the market
A few months ago, the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 made its debut as the pinnacle of the Mercedes lineup. Now the company has revealed the price, and, unsurprisingly, it's not cheap. The base price for the sedan is $185,950 including destination fee.
That price makes the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class one of the more expensive flagship sedans on the market. It's more than $25,000 more than the top-of-the-line BMW M760i, and more than $50,000 more than the Audi S8. It's even $20,000-plus more than the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Maybach S 580 is cheaper than the $200,000-plus Bentley Flying Spur and the $300,000-plus Rolls-Royce Ghost.
All this money gets you an S-Class with a unique grille and fascias, as well as an extra 7 inches of length between the wheels. Nearly every surface of the interior is wrapped in leather, and whatever isn't is probably finished with wood or features a screen. Powering it is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 making 496 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. It also has a nine-speed automatic transmission, air suspension and four-wheel steering.

For some reason (yes I know there's no precedent), the normally-swinging rear doors just look wrong on this car. It's been a long time since I've seen a car that needs suicide doors this badly, but does not have them.

This is really the only version of the new S class I kind of like, 2 tone paint scheme looks good, the wood in the interior is a big improvement over all that horrible black shiny trim. I thought I read Mercedes was keeping the V12 for the Maybach.

I dont think there has ever been a Maybach that I would want to be driven in more than any Bentley or Rolls.
EDIT: Well I take that back. The Maybach Landaulet was pretty epic. Live that Oil Tycoon lifestyle.

I mean this is cheap when comparing against Rolls or Bentley but I would either get the regular S class and then jump to a Rolls and skip this all together. This isn't nearly has special and is too Mercedes than it is Maybach. Plus, I agree, I would want suicide doors in this price range.

I believe you can get the same “flowing lines” trim of this Maybach on a regular S-class.
