The 2027 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class MANUFAKTUR doesn’t chase attention in obvious ways. It builds presence through detail.The grille is larger now, about 20 percent, and it sets the tone immediately. It can be paired with a luminous surround, along with subtle lighting touches across the car, including the C-pillar emblem and bonnet star in certain markets.Look closer, and the detailing becomes more intricate. The Maybach wordmark sits illuminated within the grille frame, while the headlamps carry faint rose gold accents. Even the wheels add their own theatre, with a floating centre star that remains upright as the car moves.Nothing feels exaggerated. The effect is controlled, almost restrained, but unmistakably Maybach.Proportions remain traditional but more commandingThe overall shape hasn’t shifted dramatically. It’s still the long, low silhouette expected of a flagship luxury saloon.What changes is how that shape is presented. The stance feels more composed, helped by new wheel designs and subtle surface refinements. Two-tone finishes and new colours, including nautic blue metallic, give the car more visual range without altering its identity.The proportions continue to prioritise rear passenger space. This is still a car designed around being driven in, not just driving.
