Frankly, it’s pointless. No one wealthy enough to actually buy a Maybach has the time to skim through these words to find out whether they should or shouldn’t. Besides, people who buy Maybachs don’t read magazines, they’re in magazines. But for the sake of consumer advice and journalism it is my duty to tell you what the new Mercedes-Maybach S 580 is all about, so here goes.
FIRST CLASS
I’ll start with the cabin because most of that premium of about `90 lakh the Maybach demands over the ‘regular’ S-Class has gone into making the interior an even more special space to be in. Case in point, the use of leather pretty much everywhere – and I’m not just talking about the regular stuff, like the top of the dashboard or the seatbacks, I am talking about everything. The C-pillar? Leather-wrapped. Headliner? Soft suede, sun shades included. The cavity behind the rear seats when they’re not reclined? You guessed it – it’s leather.
