The sedan will be available in the S 580e version for the Indian market. Bookings have opened, and deliveries are scheduled to begin in November 2026.

Mercedes-Maybach S 580e: Engine and Performance
The Mercedes-Maybach S 580e uses an electrified 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six petrol engine. The petrol engine and electric motor work together to produce a combined output of 585 bhp and 750 Nm of torque.
The key performance figures include:
Power and torque: 585 bhp and 750 Nm.
Electric range: A claimed electric-only range of up to 100 km.
Acceleration: 0–100 km/h in 5.1 seconds.
Top speed: Electronically limited to 250 km/h
The plug-in hybrid setup allows the car to cover shorter journeys using electric power, subject to battery charge and driving conditions. The petrol engine provides additional power when required.
Exterior Design and Styling Updates
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class retains the overall shape of the S-Class, with several changes to its front-end design. These include a larger grille, an illuminated Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star and revised headlamps with star-shaped daytime running lights.
Other exterior details include a redesigned lower bumper and an illuminated Maybach logo on the D-pillar. The car is also available with 20-inch and 21-inch alloy wheel designs, along with two-tone exterior paint options.
These updates distinguish the Maybach version from the standard S-Class while retaining the saloon's familiar overall design.
Interior Features and Superscreen Technology
The cabin gets Mercedes-Benz's Superscreen layout, which combines three displays beneath a shared glass surface. The setup includes:
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster: Displays driving information for the driver.
14.4-inch central touchscreen: Provides access to the infotainment system and vehicle functions.
12.3-inch passenger display: Gives the front passenger a separate screen.
The system uses Mercedes-Benz's MB.OS operating system and fourth-generation MBUX interface.
Rear-seat comfort remains a key feature of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. The reclining rear seats offer heating, ventilation and massage functions, providing passengers with several options to adjust their seating comfort.
Price and Competition
Priced at ₹3.35 crore (ex-showroom), the Mercedes-Maybach S 580e enters India's luxury saloon market with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. One of its closest alternatives is the BMW i7, which uses a fully electric powertrain and offers a similar focus on rear-seat comfort, cabin technology and passenger space.
With bookings open and deliveries scheduled from November 2026, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class S 580e adds another electrified option to the high-end luxury car segment in India.
