Difference between Mercedes-Benz and Maybach by looking at the rear window

Many friends can’t tell the difference between the Maybach S-Class and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In fact, it is not too difficult to distinguish between the two. Let me teach you how to distinguish them in two areas.

1. Look at the difference between the rear windshields of Mercedes-Benz and Maybach. The Maybach S-Class and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class can also be distinguished according to the triangle window. The triangle window of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is on the side door, while the triangle window of the Maybach S-Class is on the C-pillar.

2. Look at the C-pillar. The C-pillar of the Maybach S-Class has Maybach's double M logo on it, and the C-pillar of the Maybach S-Class is thicker than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Can the Mercedes-Benz Maybach choose the M logo?

The biggest feature of the Maybach S-Class is that the Mercedes-Benz three-star logo is used on the front and rear of the car, and the name logo on the rear is "MAYBACH" , so some netizens can’t tell the difference between Maybach and Mercedes-Benz. It can be said that today’s Maybach is the ultimate high-end configuration of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Nowadays, the Maybach S-Class uses all the Mercedes-Benz logos, and there is no Maybach double M logo to choose from. So if you see the Maybach logo chassis while walking on the road, it is either the real Maybach after its resurrection in 2002, or it is The S-Class has changed its Maybach logo.

As a brand car with ancient history and culture, Maybach has gone through many hardships in the difficult years. It can be summed up in the following three links:

1. Zeng Tong Belongs to the Daimler-Benz Automobile Group

Maybach's founder, Maybach, worked at Daimler. In 1926, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz merged to form Daimler. -Mercedes-Benz Car Group, which owns three brands of cars: Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and Smart.

In 1988, Daimler-Benz recycled Fiat abroad, and then the company was renamed Daimler-Fiat. However, in 2007, Daimler-Fiat completed its spin-off, and Daimler Immediately known as Daimler AG.

2. The suspension and resurrection of Maybach

In 1942, the Second World War broke out, and Italians had no money to buy Maybach, a high-end well-known brand of cars, so Maybach We were caught in a shutdown, and this shutdown lasted for sixty years. It was not until 2002 that Daimler Group revived the Maybach brand.

The restored Maybach still maintains the nobility and elegance of the war, competing with ultra-luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the car market. Although Maybach, with its top technology and exquisite craftsmanship, is very competitive with Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars, sixty years of silence have made Maybach far less well-known than Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars, so that the well-known Maybach brand has always been in trouble. In the face of losses, Daimler Group has also accelerated the development and upgrade of the Maybach brand. Maybach seems to be entering silence again.

3. As the high-end configuration of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the continued life

Maybach’s vitality is closely related to the continuous development and growth of the domestic market. After China’s reform and opening up, China’s With the rapid economic development, people's demand for luxury cars can no longer be satisfied with BBA. Ultra-luxury car brands such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and even Hyundai Equus have successively entered the Chinese market.

Daimler Group also recognized this opportunity and launched a new sub-brand Mercedes-Benz-Maybach in Guangzhou in 2014. The brand’s first car series was Maybach S level. The Maybach S-Class is based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is more luxurious and more expensive in the market.
