At the time of writing, the collaboration produces critically acclaimed, ultra-luxury versions of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan and the Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV. An all-electric concept car has been introduced too, dubbed the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. The company&#8217;s models compete at the highest tier of luxury vehicles, duking it out with brands like Bentley and Rolls-Royce. As a result, the Mercedes-Maybach models are usually the most expensive in the entire Mercedes line-up, excluding a few of the Mercedes-AMG supercar models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>History of Maybach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/12\/21124651\/2021-Mercedes-Maybach-GLS-B_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11507 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/12\/21124651\/2021-Mercedes-Maybach-GLS-B_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/12\/21124651\/2021-Mercedes-Maybach-GLS-B_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Maybach was founded back in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach, an experienced technical director from DMG. The original Maybach factory produced engines for things like zeppelins, rail cars, and aircraft. By 1921, though, Maybach as a company had switched gears to produce a number of limited-availability, high-end luxury vehicles, such as the W 3 and SW 42 models. Automotive production ceased in 1940, restarting in the 1960s. All models produced thereafter were branded and badged as Mercedes-Benz vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be until 1997 that Maybach came back under its own name, producing two models: the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62. However, due in large part to the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, Maybach sales were poor. The brand ceased production of all but limousine models in 2012, with limo production ending in 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/blog\/what-are-the-2021-mercedes-benz-gls-maybach-color-options\/\">2021 GLS Maybach Color Options<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>Save on a Mercedes-Benz Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about getting a Mercedes-Maybach model, then you\u2019ll want to head on over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/special-offers-scottsdale-az\">National Offers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/used-car-sales-scottsdale-az\">Manager\u2019s Specials<\/a>.
