Words such as sumptuous and lavish don’t properly illustrate how luxurious the palatial Mercedes-Maybach S-class truly is. Passengers can stretch out and relax on hot-stone-style massaging leather recliners and enjoy the Burmester audio system while an atomizer fills the cabin with one of Maybach’s five signature fragrances.
Pros High-class cabin, stretch-out rear seat, seriously quick.
Cons Self-driving features still need work, still resembles an S-class too much.
For 2018, the Maybach sedan receives freshened styling, more powerful high-beam headlights, the latest COMAND infotainment system, wireless charging for front and rear seats, and Mercedes' Energizing Comfort system.
PROS Exceptionally comfortable and quiet Outstanding rear-seat functionality and features Chock full of standard safety features Strong engines and brakes
CONS Mercedes heritage might not be special enough
Pros Looks classier than its Nissan Armada sibling, effortless V-8 powertrain, luxurious interior fit-and-finish.
Cons The similarly nice Armada costs far less, a paragon fuel-inefficiency, styling inside and out is dated.
Pros Muscular V8 engine Easy-to-use touch screen Sizable cargo area
Cons Cramped third row Dated interior Poor gas mileage
