Interior of the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet
After examining the interior it can be said that the G650 was designed for the Gulf life.
The long wheelbase gives the passengers ample space to enjoy freedom of movement. The rear seats enjoy much more freedom and luxury. The active multi-contour seats with ENERGIZING massage function have inflatable air chambers to provide high seating comfort and excellent lateral support. Massage programmes enhances the comfort level. There’s even a ‘business console’ between the two seats, with heating and cooling cupholders, and fold-out aircraft-style tray tables. These allow beverages to be cooled or heated over a lengthy period of time. The controls for opening or closing the glass partition are integrated behind the cup holders.
The interior enhances its exquisite character with the high grade design upholstery. It accents a diamond stitching, which comes in two tones, but has four trim colour options.
Performance of the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet
After the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, this is the first top open G Class off roader with an exclusive styling. Unlike the previous Landaulets, which were based on prestigious saloons, this G650 offers highest standard in terms of off road performance.
High drive comfort comes due to the most powerful available engine, the Mercedes V12 biturbo, which delivers a maximum output of 463 kW (630 hp) with a peak torque of 1,000 Newton-metres. This sheer power was expected and much anticipated due to the massive size and weight of the Landaulet. It has a 7 speed automatic transmission with manual shifting mode option.
In terms of speed, the new Mercedes Maybach is capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and with a top speed recorded to be 112 mph. Such a performance for a car of this size surely didn’t disappoint.
Being an exclusively all terrain off road vehicle, it is not devoid of all the advanced features that comes with such a car. The portal axles offer a ground clearance of 45cm, as well as locking differentials and a low range gear box. Lastly, the 22inch rims come with off-road tires, to ensure that any ground can be covered with this beast of a car.
Availability and Price of the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet
It is important to note the exclusivity of the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet in terms of production. There are only 99 units produced. Its price has not been released. But when it will be, it’s surely going to skyrocket due to its high anticipation and limited supply.
