The S580 was made domestically, whilst the S680 arrived via the CBU (completely built-up) route, thus the price disparity between the two. It is the company's flagship sedan, and it was worldwide unveiled in November 2020.

Still, it features Maybach-specific features such as a different radiator grille with vertical chrome pinstripes, mesh-type air intakes, a new alloy wheel design.

In addition to these features, the Maybach S-Class Limousine has a unique chauffeur package that folds the front seats by an additional 23 degrees for improved back legroom, and the executive rear seats may be reclined by a different 43 degrees. Aside from that, buyers may pick from a variety of accoutrements, such as unique champagne flutes and a mini-fridge inside the cabin.

The Maybach S-Class also has a one-of-a-kind Urban Guard protection plus security programme that alerts the owner in the event of vehicle theft or break-in and can assist in the recovery of a stolen Maybach S-Class.
