History of Mercedes-Benz Vehicles and Maybach

What Is a Maybach?

Maybach signifies luxury in the automotive world. Wilhelm Maybach and his son Karl founded the company in 1909. Initially, Maybach focused on building engines for airships and marine applications. By the 1920s, the company shifted its focus to creating some of the most luxurious cars of the time, renowned for their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and superior engineering. Today, the name Maybach represents the pinnacle of automotive luxury, combining cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance. When you drive a Maybach, you experience unparalleled comfort and sophistication.

When Did Maybach Start Working With Mercedes?

The partnership between Maybach and Mercedes-Benz began in the late 1990s when the latter decided to revive the Maybach brand. Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz's parent company, saw an opportunity to expand its luxury segment and reintroduce Maybach as a sub-brand. This collaboration aimed to combine Mercedes-Benz's cutting-edge technology and engineering prowess with Maybach's tradition of handcrafted luxury.

In 2002, the world witnessed the rebirth of the Maybach brand with the launch of the Maybach 57 and 62 models. These vehicles were a testament to the seamless integration of advanced technology and timeless luxury. However, the partnership reached new heights in 2015 with the introduction of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. This model set a new standard for luxury sedans, offering a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and elegance.

Today, the Mercedes-Maybach lineup continues to push the boundaries of luxury and innovation. The partnership has proven to be a winning combination, elevating the automotive experience to new levels of sophistication. Whether you're driving through the picturesque streets of Temecula or embarking on a long journey, a Mercedes-Maybach ensures that you do so in unrivaled style and comfort.
