Among the million-class executive cars, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has always had super dominance since its replacement in 2014, and the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8 have subsequently reduced their price sales, and since then mercedes-Benz S-Class has led the way. In the segment of more than 1.5-4 million, the Mercedes-Maybach S-class has struck hard, occupying most of the market share, and its Maybach S 680 can compete with Bentley Flying Spur and Rolls-Royce Gusta.
Maybach S 680 is the most flagship mass production luxury car in the Mercedes-Benz family, of which the 2020 model has a domestic price range of 299.80-319.88 million yuan, and the highest price has been increased by 1 million yuan, and in today's second-hand car market, the price of 2018-2019 models is still higher than the original guidance price, which shows the love of the rich.
The Maybach S 680 can maintain a high price in the second-hand car market, in large part because the overall shape of the Maybach S-Class after the replacement is not stable enough, the interior design is not luxurious enough, the sense of technology is too prominent, and the original essence of Maybach is lost. Another part of the reason is that the new Maybach S 680 is still not listed in China, only the S 480 and S 580 are currently on sale, of course, the new Maybach S 680 is expected to be listed this year.
On May 12 last year, Mercedes-Maybach officially released the official image of its new Maybach S 680 model, which continues to be equipped with the V12 engine. Recently, according to South Korean media reports, Mercedes-Benz related dealers revealed that the car will be listed in South Korea in the first half of this year, and is expected to sell for more than 350 million won, about 1.86 million yuan.
According to the previous release rhythm, Mercedes-Maybach S 680 is also expected to be listed in China this year, combined with the already listed Maybach S 480 and S 580 prices, the new generation of Maybach S 680 is expected to be priced at more than 3 million yuan, and it is expected to increase the price by 200,000-500,000 yuan.
The price will exceed the Bentley Flying Spur (the guide price of the 2020 model is 251.80-306.60 million yuan), but the buyer believes that users are more willing to choose the Bentley Flying Spur, after all, the brand has a higher sense of grade, and it is also equipped with a 12-cylinder dispenser, the interior luxury and aura are comparable, but the Maybach S 680 rear seating space has an absolute advantage.
In terms of appearance, the overall shape of the new car is not very different from the S 580 model, and the front face is still the Maybach family polygonal front grille with a straight waterfall type of the middle net shape, compared to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a high degree of recognition. At the same time, unlike the S 580 model, more chrome decoration is used on the heat dissipation opening surrounded by the new car, not only the border, but also the grid is also made of chrome material, showing the noble temperament.
On the side of the body, it is obvious that the new car uses two-color paint, and the color of the car paint and the two-color collocation can also be customized according to the owner's preferences, and the lower body of the common Maybach S 680 model in the past is mostly black, and the upper body is mostly silver, burgundy and rose gold and other colors, which is extremely elegant and luxurious.
In addition, the words "V12" are marked on the front fenders, which fully indicates the identity of the new car. At the same time, on the European version of the model, the S 680 provides a "big pie" wheel hub and a dense spoke large size plated wheel hub, compared to the "big cake" wheel more visual impact.
In the rear part, the overall shape of the new car is the same as that of the ordinary version of the S-class, and the main body of the inverted triangle taillight is connected by a wide chrome decorative strip, which improves the visual width of the rear, and the rear surround reflects the front of the car, and also adopts a penetrating chrome decorative strip, and matches the exhaust shape of the two sides.
In terms of interior, it is the same as the regular version of the S-Class and Maybach S 580, equipped with a 12.8-inch central touch screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, the sense of technology is vividly reflected, but it is not as classic as the previous generation. In addition, in order to highlight the honor of the Maybach S 680, the interior materials will be more luxurious, mostly decorated with leather wrapping and piano paint panels.
In terms of power, it is one of the biggest highlights of the Maybach S 680, equipped with a 6.0-liter V12 twin-turbo engine, a maximum power of 630 horsepower, peak torque of a staggering 1000 Nm, the transmission system matches the 9-speed manual transmission, equipped with a 4MATIC four-wheel drive system, which is also Mercedes-Benz's history V12 engine and four-wheel drive system appeared on its own car at the same time.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the official has confirmed that this V12 engine will only be installed on the Maybach model, and the AMG S65 model, which is also equipped with a V12 engine, is expected to be equipped with only a 4.0T V8 engine if it is launched in the future.
