Part of the second Maybach generation introduced for 2021
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has long been the gold standard for full-size luxury sedans, but for decades, that reputation came with an asterisk: The S-Class was only the gold standard if you didn't count Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Those marques exist in a different world, one that transcends mere luxury. Starting with a wheelbase more than 7 inches longer than the S-Class' — most of which goes straight into rear-seat legroom — and with available twin-turbocharged V12 power, the Mercedes-Benz Maybach sedan ascends to the realm of opulence with aromatic quilted leather, throw pillows for rear passengers, and silver Champagne flutes with their own cupholders.

The Maybach's regular color palette includes 10 two-tone combinations, but the lavish Edition Nordic Glow has more to offer than just its bespoke purple-over-white paint. Based on the V12-powered S 680, it includes nearly every available option, plus dark-chrome exterior trim that is typically reserved for monotone colors or grayscale two-tone finishes. The interior is finished in an exclusive Rose Grey Nappa leather with light gray stitching and piping, accented by herringbone-pattern dark walnut trim. Only available in the U.S., the Edition Nordic Glow is limited to just 50 units.
Competitors to consider
In this rarefied air, the Mercedes-Maybach only has two real competitors. With its bluff front end — featuring a power-retractable hood ornament — and rear-hinged back doors, the Rolls-Royce Ghost has greater presence, but at a far greater price. The Bentley Flying Spur is the sport sedan of the class, with a top speed above 200 mph, but the trade-off for stability at that speed is a firmer ride than with the Maybach or Rolls.
Which Maybach does Edmunds recommend?
Beyond just the V12 engine, the range-topping S 680 includes a number of features not available on the regular Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the lower S 580 trim, so it would be our pick. After all, "more" and exclusivity are the whole point of a car like the Maybach.
