The Mercedes-Maybach S680 Haute Voiture is a special edition of the S680 that is based on high fashion. The S 580 is assembled at Mercedes-Benz's plant in Chakan, Pune. Mercedes-Benz launched the S 580 and the S 680 in India on 3 March 2022. In Germany Mercedes-Maybach announced the launch date of May 2021 for ordering and the delivery date of July 2021. Called the S 480 4MATIC, it was developed for the Chinese market due to the high displacement tax imposed in that country and is not sold anywhere else. A third engine option is the 3.0-litre petrol inline six-cylinder engine with E-Boost. The turning angle can be set at 4.5° or 10°, reducing the turning radius from 13.1 metres (43 ft) to 12.2 metres (40 ft) and 11.2 metres (37 ft) respectively. The rear-wheel-steering system for reducing the turning radius is optional extra cost. Both are fitted with standard 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. Īvailable engines are a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 for the S 580 4MATIC and a 6.0-litre biturbo V12 for the S 680 4MATIC. Another first for Mercedes-Benz is the frontal airbags for the rear passengers. Several design cues, separating the Mercedes-Maybach from Mercedes-Benz, are carried over. The Mercedes-Maybach is 18 centimetres longer than the predecessor. The Z223 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class was revealed on 19 November 2020 with model designations S 580 4MATIC and S 680 4MATIC. It is also used as a starter motor in lieu of a separate and dedicated starter motor. This also provided the power for the air conditioning system and for recharging the battery. The models with six-cylinder inline petrol engines have a 48V electrical system to provide additional power when needed. The W223 directs heat from the engine to the wheel arches and underbody to improve airflow and has a drag coefficient of 0.22. Boot capacity has increased by 20 litres (0.71 cu ft) to 550 litres (19 cu ft). Ĭompared to the previous generation W222 S-Class, rear headroom has increased by 16 mm (0.63 in) and rear legroom has increased by 41 mm (1.6 in). Air suspension is standard and can automatically lower by 20 mm (0.79 in) at 160 km/h (99 mph) to increase stability. The W223 S-Class is based on the second-generation Modular Rear Architecture (MRA) platform and uses a four-link front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension. The W223 S‑Class was unveiled on 2 September 2020. It replaces the W222 S‑Class which has been produced since 2013. The Mercedes-Benz W223 is the seventh generation of the S‑Class produced by Mercedes-Benz since 2020.
