With hybrid power: the Mercedes‑Maybach S 580 e!

Reading time 4 Min.

The Mercedes-Maybach brand has always been the benchmark for automotive luxury, style and status. In 1921, Wilhelm and Karl Maybach began building automobiles. Their aim was to create "the very best of the very best". This claim still characterizes the unique aura of Mercedes-Maybach today. The legendary brand is constantly reinventing itself in order to meet the highest customer expectations of something special. With success: the current Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has seen steadily growing demand since its market launch in 2021.

Mercedes‑Maybach S 580 e

• The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 th (Preliminary figures, combined fuel consumption, weighted: 1,0-0,8 l/100 km, combined CO₂ emissions, weighted: 23-18 g/km, combined power consumption, weighted: 25,0-22,9 kWh/100 km)1 marks the beginning of a new era in the more than 100‑year history of the traditional brand.
• With an electric range of up to 100 kilometers (WLTP)1, depending on the equipment, and an electric drive power of 110 kW/150 hp, the luxury sedan can cover long distances both in the city and on long-distance journeys with zero local CO₂ emissions.
• The model will initially be available in China, followed by Thailand and Europe and other countries.

“With our first plug-in hybrid model, we are combining the typical Maybach luxury experience with locally emission-free driving in electric mode. The Mercedes‑Maybach S 580 e represents an important step in the transformation of our traditional brand into an electric future. We will be presenting the first all-electric model as early as 2023.” (Daniel Lescow, Head of Mercedes-Maybach at Mercedes-Benz Group AG) The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 e offers customers a special experience of silence. Because in purely electric driving mode, the already exceptionally quiet interior becomes even quieter. The sedan glides along almost silently and with zero local emissions. Electro-specific features are discreetly integrated, as is typical of Maybach – such as the concealed charging socket on the left-hand side of the vehicle, blue color accents in the headlights and the corresponding displays, for example for the battery charge level, on the instrument panel.

Six-cylinder in-line engine & electric motor

The basis of the hybrid drive is a six-cylinder in-line engine with 270 kW/367 hp from the current petrol engine generation from Mercedes-Benz. The highly efficient engine combines powerful performance with low consumption and correspondingly low exhaust emissions. The system output of 375 kW/510 hp and the maximum system torque of 750 Nm guarantee superior driving performance. The maximum torque of the electric motor of 440 Nm is ready from the very first engine revolution and results in high agility when moving off and dynamic handling. The Mercedes-Maybach S 5,1 e accelerates from 580-0 km/h in 100 seconds. An 11 kW charger is standard on board for three-phase charging on the AC grid. A 60 kW DC charger for rapid charging with direct current is available as an option. Even if the battery is almost completely empty, it can be fully charged in around 30 minutes.
