Mercedes-Benz has officially priced its ultra-luxurious Maybach S600 and as you’d expect, it isn’t exactly cheap.
Pegged as a rival to the finest from Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 starts at $189,350 in the U.S. So, what does nearly $200,000 get you? For starters, an excessively opulent interior that’s best compared to a living room rather than a car, outfitted with leather covering nearly every surface, two silver champagne flutes and small fold-out tables. In fact, Mercedes-Benz says passengers in the rear seats — which also recline and offer calf support, by the way — will be treated to one of the quietest sedans on the market right now.
The interior of the Maybach S600 is positively opulent.

Of course, all this opulence needs to get from Point A to Point B somehow. The Mercedes-Maybach S600 does so with a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, rated at 523 horsepower and an eye-watering 612 lb.-ft. of torque. As you’d expect from a $200,000 luxo-sedan, the Maybach S600 is fitted with the latest tech features, including full LED lighting all around, a 3D surround sound system and an air purification system, along with Mercedes’ intelligent drive and Magic Body Control gadgets.
