2022 Mercedes-Maybach S580 Review: Everything You Want and More

The Maybach S580 is a ride fit for a king, or a president, or a CEO, or anyone else suffering from success.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket… but not for you, prospective Mercedes-Maybach buyer. Through hard work, determination, a legacy admission to Wharton and some "creative" PPP loan accounting (allegedly), you have ascended to the top. Your success grants you access to the upper echelon of vehicles. No mere S-Class will do anymore, which is why you will want to bathe in the sumptuous luxury of the 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S580.

Despite your affinity for some of the more… garish corners of Neiman Marcus, some degree of subtlety remains important in your line of work. The Maybach definitely confers that sort of executive-level restraint, borrowing nearly all of its looks from the smaller S-Class, save for additional chrome on every side and some choice Maybach badges on the C-pillars -- and yes, fear not, they light up. Throw in some 20-inch monoblock-style wheels and a $12,750 two-tone paint job, and you have a car that shows just enough personality without turning it into a rolling, waving wallet.

While the outside may not bear too many unique points compared to the S-Class, let your driver electronically swing open one of the Maybach's massive rear doors via the infotainment touchscreen and you'll find something far more palatial and fit for a person of your stature. This S580 includes the near-mandatory $6,000 executive rear seat package, which ditches the bench in favor of two individual reclining seats and a center console with fold-out tables, in addition to heated and cooled cup holders. One push of a button on your door panel pushes the front passenger seat forward, so you can recline to your heart's content -- not every waking minute needs to be devoted to work, after all. Speaking of leisure time, this one also includes a centrally mounted refrigerator ($1,100) and two champagne flutes ($3,200). Sure, it eats into trunk space a bit, but there's still plenty of room back there for your golf bag or LV-printed luggage.

2022 Mercedes-Maybach S580 is a slice of the good life

Rest your head on this pillow for a second and take in every inch of the Maybach's interior. No corner or expense was spared here -- you're not the kind of person to take shortcuts, anyhow, right? Everything you touch is made of real Nappa leather ($8,000), from the heated armrests to the entire headliner. Enjoy the subtle striping ($1,300) on the Obsidian black trim. Run your fingertips over any of the Burmester 4D surround-sound audio system and revel in the precision of the laser-cut metal. Everything here is fit for a king… or a chief executive. Same thing, really.

Now, of course, a driver will probably be in charge of taking you between your home and office, but if the desire for control takes over and you want to get behind the wheel, you won't be let down. The S580's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 496 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, sent through a 9-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. Let me start it up for you. Did you hear that? Of course you didn't. That's just the kind of level of isolation the Maybach offers -- even starter motors are too pedestrian for a distinguished person like yourself. You won't hear much on the road, either, and that goes for both the engine and any wind or tire noise. The glass is so thick you'd think the car is nearsighted.

MostMercedes models are at their best in Comfort mode, but they lack Maybach mode. Flip a switch and the suspension transforms into cloud-filled pillows that barely register speed bumps, nevertheless pockmarked roads or highway expansion joints. You may have been in a Lexus LS or even a Rolls-Royce Ghost, and I must say, you will wonder how you ever survived in those claptraps. If a smooth ride is your top priority, and it probably is because who can do important work when they're getting bounced around, then you will love the pedal articulation. Every input is muted to hell and back so that every start and stop are buttery smooth, and it starts accelerating in second gear to reduce unwanted movement further. Sure, there's a Sport mode if you want to try and turn this into an athlete, which it definitely is not, but you probably already own a sports car for those kinds of jollies. Best to keep your spheres separate and distinct.
