Maybach 62 - how do you feel !

      "The Maybach 62 is the epitome of luxury; it is Excellence Refined." Measuring almost one-and-a-half feet longer than a standard Maybach 57, this vehicle casts an imposing shadow and stirs an air of intrigue.

Solar module is included with the Electrotransparent glass roof package. The optional External Communicator allows the Maybach driver to communicate to the outside world without lowering the vehicle windows. The system functions via a microphone wired to the front glovebox. An under-the-hood mounted speaker facilitates communication.

   

       Both the front and rear seats in the Maybach are master pieces of comfort technology. All the seats are heated. The shoulder belts automatically adjust to the height of the driver or passenger, which helps to enhance their protective capability. The seats are upholstered in Grand Nappa leather and feature multicontour seatbacks with dynamic lumbar supports. All the seats are electrically adjustable for fore/aft, height, seatback and cushion angle, cushion length and head restraint height.
