The twin-turbo 5.5-litre V12 runs on premium unleaded and returns official combined figures of 15.9 l/100 km, with urban use around 24.5 l/100 km. Real-world figures sit higher in mixed driving. The large tank supports long distances between fills.
Servicing follows the Maybach Maintenance System that tracks distance and time. Basic A-services start early then alternate with fuller B-services. Specialists use dedicated tools and genuine parts. a four-year service package covered scheduled work when new.
Safety kit centres on a rigid passenger cell, ten airbags (adaptive front, side and curtain), seat-integrated belts with tensioners and force limiters, SBC brakes with eight circuits, ESP and traction control. AIRMATIC Dual Control keeps the car stable and composed. No public star ratings appear for this model.
Keeping the car means specialist attention for the air suspension, electrohydraulic brakes and complex electronics. Regular oil, filter and fluid changes plus careful tyre and battery care help preserve the quiet ride and equipment. Parts and labour stay high. many owners rely on Maybach or Mercedes centres familiar with the platform.
