I don't know if I should get one. I don't really like white seats and I kinda want to keep my house too.
Oh but you could specify all the options which include, shower and kitchen sink, then you could live in the car!
Wouldn't want to move into a Maybach for a home? makes sense.
but does your house has a v12 that go 0-60 in 4 seconds?!?
Thought so. Priorities, man, priorities.
@@noblestar7742 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@noblestar7742 I don't know. If this benz had something like that, it would drive up the price.
I'm glad that the V12 is still alive
True story, same here.
They can make them because only handful of people will buy it. The v12 isn’t mass produced so they can still keep within the emission levels
The question I have, does the even need a V12? I know the basic idea, more cylinders means the engine is smoother when it delivers power. However, from an enthusiast’s standpoint, in the future, ICEs should be largely reserved for high performance cars and sports cars, as well as other vehicles that cannot transition to clean energy propulsion solutions very easily, like long distance lorries and buses. The S680 V12 Maybach emits more than 300g of CO2/km and you can easily get that same V12 smoothness from an electric powertrain. What’s more, an EV is near-on silent, which perfectly fits the requirements of a luxury car and zero emissions vehicles get financial incentives in an urban environment, which is where a car like this will most likely end up. So for me at least, it’s nice the V12 is around, but this is a “wasted application” of an exotic combustion engine. Luxury cars should be electric or hybrid as far as possible, just my two cents. I can’t wait for Rolls Royce and Maybach to release EVs.
@@magnustan841 you don't pay more then 200k $ to waste time charging the car, even if you have a chauffeur, anytime he waists charging the car is time he can't be driving for you, add to that the huge space eating batteries and it's not a luxury car anymore since you have to wait for it all the time, have no more space because of the batteries, have plebian levels of trunk capacity. It ain't working sunshine, when you pay big amounts you want no compromises, EV are pure compromise for a Maybach
@@antoniohagopian213 Well, if you’re wealthy enough to buy one, you will have the money to install a home charger. Okay, I get where you’re coming from, I agree with the space argument. So maybe not right now, but the next Maybach model should be an EV, like an EQS Maybach. My main gripe is why weren’t luxury car makers one of the first to release an EV on a dedicated EV platform, where you can optimise the use of space. When VW announced they were throwing their weight behind EVs, I thought one of the first new EVs to come out would be an electric Bentley. I still think EVs and luxury cars are a perfect match, if charging infrastructure were good enough.
I freaking love Rory - I just recently found him (so apologies for my ignorance) but if he is not recognized as such already Rory will be recognized as one of the greatest car reviewers out there in no time! Keep up the work mate!
You're not fooling anyone Rory! 😂😂
He’s the best of the best along with Chris Harries we absolutely just love to set down and listen to them
yup Rory Reid really did came alive on this channel. Unfortunately being on Top Gear didn't do much good for him. Last two seasons he was on he didn't feel like a good match. Most of the material was Chris Harris and Mat Leblanc doing fun stuff together and Rory was neither here nor there. I'm glad he found his own rythm here.
Me thinks him too much sugar in tea.
he is a beat!!!! nerdy looking, but hey who cares
I know I'm getting old because my first thought on seeing the interior is denim stains
😂😂
Mmm..wealthy people's denim do not stain 😃
It’s synthetic leather which is much harder to stain
Wealthy people don’t wear denim
Same here. After having damn near a white interior in my BMW I said never again. Black or dark brown interiors from now on
Honestly when you watch Rory talking you feel like an owner 😍😍😍
Imagine having an ‘entry level’ maybach 🤣
Those are for your “2nd class” billionaire rappers and/or Russian oligarchs.
Eeeewwwww !!!! entry level!!! eww
Those are for peasant.
Pleb mode
Mercedes have fucked up bad but then they all at it
Not going to lie, being to open and close the rear doors from the front is a different level of gangster. LOL
All taxis in Japan have had this feature for decades :) also the hand me the seat belt tech; didn't that Premier in the 90s SL 600 :)
My VW Caravelle does this ! On both sides. And closes , it’s not that impressive
@@Ben-oy1td its a mini van and those are only boring sliding doors.
@@alanmay7929 the point was automatic doors are not new of a “different level of gangster”
And ideal for taxi service in these COVID19 times....
Thankfully someone acknowledges the Mercedes Maybach as the best, something I've always presumed so. Others are just too afraid to deem a Mercedes to be better than a Rolls.
Fact. The room in the back compared to a rolls ghost or a flying spur is way more bigger
£201,000 for the Maybach S680 doesn't appear too "expensive" when the entry level Rolls Royce Phantom (in today's prices) is £351,486 and that's before options are added to an already bespoke vehicle.
Mercedes Benz certainly scored a masterstroke when they revived Maybach and it seriously needs a GT Coupè (whereas Maserati, Bentley and Rolls Royce et cetera have one) to compete with luxury rivals - excellent work.
There is a s class coupe maybach version, check it out it’s v12 too
@@cherrysprite2932 discontinued 3 and a half years ago
@@v12-s65 I know doesn’t mean he can’t buy it
@@cherrysprite2932 well it's very hard to get hands on them. My dream would be the S65 coupe facelift
Maybach never disappoints with their great cars
Or Mercedes
They are invasion of privacy , a fancy invasion of privacy , which removes it from true luxury . RR and Bentley do not video you , take your fingerprints or listen to everything you say . Mercedes does .
Ugly af, New 7 Series is much more better in every aspect
I like how he keeps reminding us that this is like "the 1st class in airplanes" like any of us poor fucks has been inside there. 😂

It is a different pleasure to watch car reviews from Rory, even the cars that i already watched before. Keep it up man! 👍🏻
9:59 - the way the car lowered it suspension before lift off is just amazing. - like a kat stalking, before it goes in for the kill.
Yeah fantastic, something that Citroen has been doing since the 1950's
Mate, you are heads and tails above all other auto reviewers, from the the thoughtful scripted commentary to your authentic delight when you really dig something. i look froward to each new installment.
same
The change in music when he took over the wheel! Dope! That really sent the message home on what this car was all about!
I just love Rory no one else can put a smile on my face and have me tied to a video like he does!!!
Always love your work Rory! Glad you got to relax a little and still tell the story
I absolutely love this channel! Let me rephrase that, I absolutely love the personality of the presenter of these videos. Thank you for the continuious engagement and entertainment!
Second that notion 🙏🏾
Rory is so well spoken. I like watching His reviews. Keep it up mate
for a guy who loves benz so much i’m still surprised that he owns a X5 💀
Considering that x5s competitor is gle i would have choose x5 too it looks better well atleast from outside
It's the dough💵💴 that rules
See his comparison of the GLE and X5 and he explains why
he choose X5 because of the mercedes fake exaust design.
@@rahulbaishya8498 drive better too
Woaah thanks soo much mate! You and your team make so damn brilliant content! Love y'all 🧡
Aston Martin were criticised for using the "same" 6.0 V12 for decades but Mercedes, curiously, seems to escape the same criticism. This engine was first used in the early 2000s with the C215 CL65 AMG,.....
So basically a smal luxury house on wheels. I could live in that. Much cheaper than the average house over here.
You can't have a shower or cook in it though
@@silotx also he cannot poop in that.
@@abcd5893 sure he can
Maybe if its hot enough I can cook an egg on it.
Finally, an honest british reviewer...
Even bentley is worth a lot more than a RR...
RR is selling only comfort, n sacrificed a lot on performance, coz it must remain heavy to achieve that...
One thing that i like ab Maybach is that Maybach redefine luxury
It is a crime not to opt for a two-color paint for such car. In two-color paint, this car looks sensational.
I agree, but it would probably add another 15k to the price!
Requires 2 weeks of someone hand painting it. Adds $20,000 CAD.
the reason for the demise of two tone paintwork has always mystified me, manufacturers can't be bothered i guess
@@keithfarrell4928 Absolutely revolting imho. All black or all white!
@Flinty94 So you either have small pocket or imagination then.
The music on this review is the same as my landline phone. You just made me get up to answer it.

Such a brilliant review from the speaker, and yet a beautiful car beyond class

I love how Rory is trying to be so polite to that guy driving the car for him. He was just trying not to be a scumbag! love it ❤
Your videos are cool and interesting. A good viewer experience. Thank you!
To be honest, If I had a car like that I would definitely drive that by myself. Cars are life man

Good to see you man..!!
I really liked this review..Thanks for creating such nice contents
Me who couldn’t even afford a 1.5 litre mazda:
Wow what a cheap car!🤡
Unoriginal get come friends.
@@f171q8 says the guy hating on a youtube comment
@@Amokof Not u here too
It actually did sound almost too cheap (though I'll have to properly convert from pounds to USD) compared to what a fully loaded Bentley or Rolls would go for. It did not have the Rolls or Bentley exterior appearance, though - it's almost like Mercedes wanted to go soft after the stand-along Maybach brand failed to have enough sales.
The price of the Maybach has dropped alot. Use to be around a half a million and now it's a quarter mill
Less than a quarter even
happy to see you being extremely happy about it
This is guy is so good that I don't mind torturing myself watching these ultra-luxury reviews. Well done mate.
"Properly, properly quick!" This Texas dude will be using this in the office from now on. Let the eye-rolls commence. :D
What a great reviewer Rory Reid is! So glad Autotrader has him now
Comprehensive review with demonstrations. Wonderful
1:31 Falsetto: "How cool is that?!"
Me, as Chipmunk: "Not really that much."
"And there is an airbag [in the seatbelt], like planes!"
Bro what planes are you flying on
😄 🤣 😂 😆
I'll put an order in for one!...oh reality check, I can't afford a fiesta
Thoroughly entertaining, loved it!
You're right that car is brilliant. You're good man your attention to detail and your ability to articulate it clearly is impressive.
You sir are a gentleman of charm, wit and sagacity. Prodigious work 😎

Great review as always 👍.
If I was working for the other car channels, I would hate you guys………….that’s how awesome you guys are👊🏿👌🏿👏🏿
THE BEST OR NOTHING MERCEDES ALWAYS PROVES IT .
Amazing car. Only 1 big problem. It's an S class just like any other taxi at any Swiss or German airport. No badge exclusivity. You can pull up at the Ritz hotel in your S class Maybach and right behind you is Mr. Smith in his 2003 Phantom and he still is the King of the hill in the eyes of the mortals!
Some people like understated cars.
😂😂😂
Maybach has their badge.
Classy Car presented by a Classy Motor Journo. Nice Job... again Rory!
Great job on the car, and knowledge,thank you, may God bless you and your channel.
hits hard when you realize that the people who own these type of cars don't watch these videos
not true everything started whit a dream i will have one point!
Quite the contrary.
@Flinty94 🧢
I always appreciated Rory, but now even more, for mentioning Gangsta Rap!
The subtitles: "My Back Mode" and "this is special to My Back"
It does not give Rolls Royce and Bentley "a run for their money" at all, it may compete with luxury levels, build quality and technology but it is way behind in the "exclusivity factor", at the end of the day it just looks like a luxury version of an ordinairy mercedes s class.
If mercedes would just get an exclusive coachbuilder to build something that does not look like an S class on that Maybach platform, something that looks unique, expensive and exclusive than they could really compete with Rolls Royce and Bentley but as long as it looks like granddad's S class I doubt that will ever happen.
That lower air intake mesh looks like something from the bottom shelf of a cheap auto parts store that someone uses to dress up a base model Toyota Corolla.
Plastic as well….
@@rare6499 it has to be cos of pedestrian safety
@@dietznutz1 not true. The Phantom radiator grille is made of metal. The details on the front of the Maybach are on the lower part of the bumper as well, which is not so critical for pedestrian safety. This is purely cost driven from Mercedes.
And the docked chinese tablet clustermeter made the interior looks extra cheap.
@@rare6499 My father had S-Classes when the grilles were metal, when I got my first one he came out and tapped the grille and commented on it being plastic, he wasn't impressed, that kind of took the wind out of my sails. LOL
Amazing technology, debatable looks
Yeah the w222 looked way better
@@Digitalstar3 for me it's not about other generations of S-Class. For the uber luxury segment it just looks too taxi like. A RR Ghost is way more stately. Every ugly body kit in the world can't fix that.
@Jens Laukens allow me to correct: third world s-hole
Im glad i have stumbled upon this channel
Well, since you put it that way, that will be the one I'll be buying. Nice review. Thanks!
I don't know if these 3 cars are really competitors. IMO, Rolls Royce is the ultimate luxury & comfort showcase, Bentley is a performance limousine & Maybach (Glorified S Class) is a technology showcase stuck between wanting to be a comfort limo & performance limo. Great review as always, Rory 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
They are direct competitors. They are in a six figure range that most people in the world can't afford. The Rolls-Royce Phantom is double the price and for what reason? This car checks all the boxes just like the Rolls. It really comes down to brand loyalty. I think Lexus should make a car to compete in this segment. Including a hood ornament.
They play the same game so they're competitors. They're all geared towards luxury and comfort. They just bring different proportions of the various elements. The Rolls goes for the highest quality, the Maybach pushes the boundary with technology, and the Bentley adds a flare of dynamism.
@@emadahmed7145 rolls is certainly overpriced imo, the Phantom and the new coming Ghost are great though but not worth the price.
I prefer the maybach over the other but I’m also young, rolls and bentley are really traditional in their forms of luxury and it’s kinda boring to me. Maybach is more of a modern luxury which I like more, it’s more exciting
@@futuretyrant2905 great point, my man 🤜🏿🤛🏿
Its a Mercedes S class that's been to the Maybach mod shop not a ground up super luxury vehicle like Rolls Royce or Bentley. I notice this has the same "Hey Mercedes" system just like the on the A class or the Vito van that will really appeal to the uber rich.
Been waiting for this review for some while now
Phantom is comfier, 95% of journalists confirm this. However you are entitled to your opinion so keep up the good work!
95% of journalists haven’t driven both a phantom and a new Maybach.
So, what is the Doug Score for this one?
Never a bored moment when Rory reviews a car
You really love Kyries. Always rockem well also
Its on a Sunday and surely i have time...to listen to you Rory
No EV will ever replicate the exquisite autobahn bred dominance at speed of the Twin Turbo V12 Mercedes Maybach. Easily a 200mph car unrestricted, it's already nearly a classic just for the hyper speed luxury experience.
It's a tought call. I feel like the Maybach delivers a classic limo experience in sedan format whilst Bentley and RR lean more towards the GT side of things.
Excellent and entertaining review of this car (that I can only dream about :) )

Hey Rory was the footage of you in the back from a handheld camera? Seemed pretty shaky for an uber-luxury sedan.
Outstanding review for an outstanding car...
Great video, can you do the pullman please. Thank you
Absolutely gorgeous soundtrack on this video! The review was pretty good as well.
Good to see Merc revived the Maybach after halting production many moons ago. I'm surprised at the engine choices though- thought they would atleast be hybrids- but if you have that amount of silly money why would you care about the petrol bill.
With them having ev versions of so many of their classes coming in 2023 and the equs ( s class) on the road right now I’m sure there will be a hybrid s class coming soon if it’s not already out an electric one sooner then later
This red color with black package would look insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rory always got that drip. Nice kicks
Clicked like before even looking.
Not for the car. But for the production team.
You guys never disappoint 👍🙂
IMAGINE WATCHING AUTOTRADER VIDEOS ON THAT TABLET🤩🤩🤩
I had to come back and watch this again.
Holly Molly the turn dude 🧐
I love how everyone is making a big deal about the new doors that open and close automatically. While they were a standard feature on Japanese taxi's for years 🤣
I don’t know the stats of the features like how fast and safer it does and what not but wouldn’t be surprised if these reviewers who have been passionate about a wide variety of cars for decades and have cars given to them by companies for reviews are making a big deal of these features because the features have been tweaked to be better then other cars versions of the same feature
My goodness, this is the epitome of luxury available in any car on planet 😍
