Love it or hate it (but let’s be honest, you have to understand the purpose!), the new Maybach is a strikingly well-appointed refresh, pushing the boundaries of luxury in the automotive world. The 2019 model year is a clear statement from Maybach, attempting to carve its own identity and distance itself from the regular S Class.
The vertical struts, unique rims, and the use of ultra-plush materials set this Maybach apart. The extended wheelbase and all the other lavish features that come standard at this price point create an environment where top-level executives would undoubtedly feel right at home – cruising in the lap of luxury in what can only be described as a land yacht.
Starting at an MSRP of $168,600, the new Maybach demands attention, but for those intrigued by the pinnacle of automotive opulence, there’s another contender worth considering. Enter the ALPINA B7, with a starting MSRP of around $139,350. While not wearing the Maybach badge, the B7 brings its own blend of performance, luxury, and exclusivity to the table.
So, if you’re in the market for the epitome of automotive extravagance, the Maybach beckons with its distinctive charm and attention to detail. However, for the savvy and interesting buyers out there, a detour to explore what the ALPINA B7 has to offer might just be a journey worth taking. The luxury sedan arena is heating up, and the choices are becoming more intriguing by the year.
