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 Tesla-rivaling acceleration, stylish on the inside and out, competitive range.
Cons A Mustang coupe is more exciting on a twisty road, the muscliest model is priced way higher than desirable lower-end Mach-Es, some models have a stiff ride.
Pros Exhilarating acceleration and handling, especially with the GT Ample range with larger battery pack Easy-to-use central touchscreen Decent cargo room
Cons Limited number of front seat adjustments GT model can only deliver its peak performance in 5-second increments
