Prices for Maybach’s vehicles here in Australia range from $395,500 for the GLS-Class Maybach GLS600, with prices rising to $573,192 for the S-Class Maybach S680 sedan. These prices do not include on-road costs.

The most expensive Mercedes-Maybach currently available in Australia is the S-Class Maybach S680, which is priced at $573,192 before on-road costs and any optional extras are factored in. Maybach offers a number of personalisation options for every buyer which can result in a final delivery price much higher than the $573,192 price listed here.

Mercedes Maybach vehicles receive a number of bespoke and luxurious features, with the driving experience headlined by an incredibly powerful yet smooth engine, often a V12 or V8 engine, though a number of all-electric Maybachs are set to arrive in the coming years. Inside, Maybach vehicles feature large, reclining and massaging leather-upholstered seats in the rear of the cabin, large high-definition OLED displays for rear passengers, ambient lighting, refrigerators and a seemingly endless range of personalisation options.

The question of which Mercedes-Maybach is best depends on if you’re looking for a luxurious SUV, or a large sedan package. For buyers looking for an opulent SUV experience, the Mercedes-Mayback GLS if your best option, while the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class remains the best option for those looking for a sleek sedan package with a heap of interior space in the rear seats.

While previous Maybachs were produced in its home market of Germany, the company’s current lineup, including the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and GLS SUV are produced at a new facility operated by Mercedes-Benz in Vance, Alabama in the United States.

Maybach takes its name from the company’s founder, Wilhelm Maybach and his son, Karl Maybach. Wilhelm Maybach worked as a technical director for the Daimler company and created a company specialising in aircraft engine manufacturing, which later turned its attention to passenger cars in 1919 when it launched its first luxury concept, the W3.
