10 Best things about the Mercedes Maybach S600 Pullman!
The Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman is one of the most outrageous luxury cars ever made. Whether it’s for royalty, billionaires, or A-list celebrities, this car is the ultimate statement of status.
But what exactly makes it so special? With its sheer size, Mercedes has packed in some truly incredible features, making it one of the most exclusive chauffeur-driven vehicles in the world. From ultra-luxurious seating to cutting-edge privacy tech, there’s a lot to cover.
So, let’s count down the 10 best things about the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman, starting with number 10.
10. The Merger Between The Mercedes & Maybach As Brands
The Maybach name has always stood for unmatched luxury and exclusivity. Originally founded in 1909, the brand built airship engines during the war before becoming the go-to marque for elite chauffeur-driven limousines.
With the Pullman, Mercedes-Benz has revived the Maybach badge and taken things to another level—blending cutting-edge tech with old-school handcrafted luxury. From oligarchs and monarchs to Hollywood’s elite, Maybach has built a brand that commands respect.
If Bentley and Rolls-Royce represent traditional aristocratic luxury, the Maybach Pullman is the younger, cooler alternative.
9. Wheels & Tires
The Maybach Pullman’s wheels might divide opinion, but there’s no denying they make a statement. The 10-hole wheels give it a distinctive presence, ensuring that everyone knows you’re not just in an ordinary S-Class. There’s no other high-end luxury car that has wheels designed like these.
The thick, cushioned tires make the wheels look small, but they’re necessary because of the weight and size of the car. And, they’re designed for supreme comfort and absorbing bumps like a first-class airline seat gliding through the air. This is what true luxury should feel like.
8. Engine
Sure, the Pullman is built for the backseat experience, but knowing there’s a 6.0L V12 biturbo engine under the hood adds to the drama. 523 HP and 830 Nm of torque means this luxury giant can hit 0-62 mph in just 6.5 seconds, which is impressive for a car this size.
You might never drive it yourself, but if you need to get somewhere in a hurry, just tell your chauffeur to step on it; the Pullman can move when needed.
7. Magic Sky Controller
One of the coolest features on the Maybach Pullman is its Magic Sky Control. A touch of a button instantly transforms the panoramic glass roof from clear to tinted blue, giving passengers more privacy and shade.
It works using an electronic current that realigns particles in the glass, creating a smooth, futuristic effect. Whether you want an open, airy feel or a private sanctuary, it’s an effortlessly cool feature that adds to the Pullman’s exclusivity.
The Magic Sky Control is an option on the regular S-Class, but on the Pullman, everything is supersized, including the sunroof.
It starts with a quilted leather sunblind, which slides open to reveal two panes of glass. As standard, the glass is clear, making the cabin feel spacious and airy. A touch of a button instantly transforms the panoramic glass roof from clear to tinted blue. This works via an electric current running through the glass, which causes tiny particles to join together, creating a blue tint that blocks heat and light, keeping the interior cool and private.
It’s a practical and seriously impressive party trick.
6. Curtains
Privacy is everything in a car like this, and the Pullman takes it very seriously. Press a button, and every window curtain closes at the same time, instantly shutting out the world.
Whether you need a quick nap, a business meeting, or just don’t want anyone seeing the party happening inside, the curtains give you complete privacy.
5. Champagne Glasses, Fridge & Drinks Holders
No luxury limousine is complete without champagne on tap, and the Pullman delivers in style. Open the centre console, and you’ll find:
- A dedicated champagne fridge to keep your bottle chilled.
- Two Maybach-branded crystal glasses, secured to prevent spillage.
- Heated & cooled cup holders, so your drink is always at the perfect temperature.
There’s also another stash point for drinks behind the driver's seat if you need more. The Pullman is all about indulgence on demand.
4. Entertainment, Media & Soundsystem
Whether you’re watching the latest blockbuster or want a personal nightclub on wheels, the Pullman turns travel into an experience with its elaborate entertainment system.
Highlights include:
- The Burmester 3D high-end surround system, featuring an insane 24 speakers in the door panels that are beautifully handcrafted for crystal-clear, immersive sound.
- Two rear entertainment screens for on-the-go movies & music.
- A remote control to manage everything from your seat.
- A hidden pop-up screen between the front seats for a cinematic experience.
3. The Luxury Of The Seats
Step into the back of the Pullman, and you’ll instantly understand why this is one of the most luxurious places to sit in any car. Thanks to the huge amount of space, you can effortlessly slide in and sink straight into the seats with no awkward maneuvering required.
Once you're in, there's no need to reach for the door. A simple click of a button just to the side of you closes it automatically, for another touch of that effortless luxury.
The seats themselves are beautifully designed, featuring exquisite diamond quilting, and are as comfortable as they look. They fully recline, with a leg rest that kicks up, transforming your seat into a first-class lounger.
If you need to get some work done, a fold-out table pops up, creating a mobile office on wheels. And whether it’s a hot day or a cold night, the ventilated and heated seats ensure you're always at the perfect temperature.
The Pullman also easily converts into a four-seater layout by folding down the two rear-facing seats, creating a vis-Ă -vis configuration ideal for meetings, conversations, or just sharing a drink in pure luxury.
2. Size
At 6.5 metres long, the Pullman is 4 metres longer than the S-class long wheelbase and half a metre longer than even a Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended. It also has more headroom than a standard S-Class, so you’ll never feel cramped.
Its size gives it an unmistakable presence. It’s unlike anything else on the road, and that’s exactly why people love it.
1. Partition Wall
The single best feature of the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman is what truly sets it apart as the ultimate chauffeur-driven car: the partition wall.
With just one flick of a switch, a divider screen smoothly rises, completely isolating the passenger compartment from the driver for total privacy.
The partition is fully soundproof, and if you want to take things a step further, another switch turns the glass totally opaque. This ensures the driver and front passengers can’t see anything at all, meaning whatever happens in the back stays in the back.
Of course, when you do need to communicate with your driver, a built-in intercom means you can speak to them at any time with just the press of a button.
In Summary
The Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman is a rolling statement of power, prestige, and unparalleled luxury. Every inch of this six-and-a-half-meter limousine is designed for those who demand the absolute best, whether it’s the insane amount of space, the first-class comfort, or the bespoke craftsmanship that makes every journey feel effortless.
Every detail is built around luxury and convenience, from its silky smooth V12 engine to the ultra-plush reclining seats. The Magic Sky Control sunroof lets you decide between an open, airy cabin or instant privacy with the press of a button. The curtains, soundproof partition wall, and intercom system ensure a private, distraction-free experience. And, of course, no Maybach experience is complete without a perfectly chilled glass of champagne from the built-in fridge.
If you’re looking for the ultimate in chauffeur-driven luxury, the Maybach Pullman is in a class of its own.
