2020 Mercedes-Maybach vs The Cheapest Maybach You Can Buy
This is the new 2020 Mercedes-Maybach S560 and today it meets its elder, the 2007 Maybach 57s which costs half the price and offers 12 cylinder thrills. Both are big luxury cars and they represent the peak of Mercedes' technology for their era. So considering there's been 13 years of advancement since it hit the streets, can the old one stack up? Is the new one worth the massive premium? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy!

#Mercedes #Maybach #Luxury
The old one was something special in its era, very different to the S Class. The new one is just an improved and luxurious S Class.
Which isn't a bad thing at all considering how great the s class already is
Eventus Vantos but people who buy a Maybach want something super different from the rest of the “normal” S Class.
@@pranavm8233 no they don't. Maybach starts out as a fully specced s class but gets maybach treatment which icblides different paint and design elements as well as much higher quality materials and customization and more room and more exclusive features as well as being limited production and holding their value better. So although its an s class its unlike any other s class and certainly isn't a normal s class If maybach costed $500k then yes you would have a point but at this price its perfectly reasonable and successful sales also prove that its reasonable and that mercedes knows what people want
Eventus Vantos you just stated my point bucko
@@pranavm8233 No I didn't. I explained how its very different from a normal s class
Old maybach looks still hold up, and I don’t like how they changed maybach to just a trim level
they made it as dull as the new AMG cars
Agree, old Maybach has a sense of occasion, new one is just an S class with some fancy wheels.
@@lucascompinto at this point I feel, outside of Bentley and RR, only Alpine does proper luxury car with a personality. S-class does it well, but it still lacks something I can't put my finger on.
Lucas Odum BIG Facts. Hate to see it. 😔
Must_Tang Boss i don’t like those wheels
We need more of these "iconic expensive cars vs their older more affordable counter parts" episodes!
When Bach created a new peice: Bach's Girlfriend: "That's Maybach"
So lame.
@@yourmommashouse But the misspelling makes it speshul.
Needs more likes
get out
cringe*
The old Maybach is becoming modern again since rear lightbars are making a comeback!!
*Comebach.
@@friggincanvee 😅 well said
The interior looks good but the exterior is meh
@@friggincanvee Like the joke but bach isnt pronounced as back. Had to be that guy since Im german.
The older Maybach still looks like more of an occasion than the current one. Great review, awesome jokes.
+1. The new one would simply disappear on a Mercedes car lot.
thumperjdm the new one isn’t even really a Maybach its just a upgraded s class
Yes i think so
It's so ugly tho
Except for the front end, with those headlights that make it look like a Kia Amanti.
The 57s has a much better interior aesthetic than the new one. It is inviting, and exudes excellent craftsmanship throughout. All of the features are integrated much more seamlessly in the older model. If I were being chauffeured across the country I would chose to ride in the 57 everytime.
As a german myself I'm pretty impressed how he pronounced Maybach, well done xD
W240 Maybach is perhaps one of the most underrated limos of all time. A genuinely amazing car.
I have sat in one, it is so solid, nothing like the creaks of modern mercedes.
Maybach, my favourite luxury car EVER. i place it above ANY other.
@@vicksss8324 Very solid s class is W221….last solid MB
Old Maybach is a land yacht ! Beautifully put together . Overengineered and classy ! I would choose the old one !
Totally agree. In my opinion, imagine the interior with wood trims than carbon fiber - more classy and luxury!
@@cosminogloocosy1154 there is a version of it. just the regular maybach 57 not the s version
Saw a Maybach 57S a couple weeks ago on the road and it's still impressive and I drive an S-Class, the old Maybach is a real Maybach, the new ones are just a slightly nicer version of my car. LOL
Their all loosing money due to regulations on fuel and electric cars to develop
I wouldn't call the current mercedes-maybach less of a Maybach. It is still a Maybach just different than the original one.
Maybach S62 dual is my first love. The wheel arches, the chrome separator of body color, the trunk design, everything is so much mesmerizing.
James Pumphrey of Donut Media: That Maybach’s from 2007, 12 years after Post Malone was born!
really can you do more content on the type r becuase no one can make a good review
Or video about it
Headed straight to comments and thought this was a dunut media video
Mo powa babeh!
We still waiting for an up to speed on James and his dad😭💔
You must note that: Back in the day, Maybach was a separate brand under Mercedes, hence it was somewhat different from S class which it was based on... Now Maybach is JUST a trim level in the S class family, the highest and most luxurious, so no difference from S class... A change in the strategy
There's a Maybach G wagon
@@meep-vm5tc yes Again it's just a trim level of the G wagon, the highest luxury one...
Yes a trim level that offers distinct design and colors, far higher quality materials, far more room, far more features and is limited production and will hold its value better. Nothing wrong with doing that at all
@@eventusvantos2770 exactly nothing wrong at all... I was just mentioning that, so not to criticize the last model as being just S-class
@@sherif.ghoneim ok
Sorry gents.... the “flowing lines” trim package can be had on nearly all of mercs line up.. not exclusive to maybachs at all. Magic sky was also offered on the 62 and 62s. Currently merc runs these offerings as an “s” and a “s class maybach” so the lengths are different however all options on the maybach (today) can be found inside the standard wheelbase “s”. 4place seating with 3D sound and you would never know the difference.. the previous gen maybach cut absolutely zero corners..
Best opening yet! I love the banter with you guys and these comparisons of old and new is fun to watch too
Throttle House is best man Seriously only intro deserves million of subs alone And the review deserves a tv series
Thorttle House is nowhere as near as Carwow.
The Jugg Boy No comparison both are good in their own ways
The Jugg Boy matt just seems like a douche even though he is pretty simmilar too these dudes.... but no way near as funny. Otherwise they are pretty much identical when it comes to the reviews edit: imo throttlehouse is a better/more fun version of carwow
@@sidneykiller123 Nope. Mat is a bit immature, I can say that. But he doesn't waste time.
Love this channel but my only one minor gripe is that they talk over each other from time to time which after a while gets to be a little annoying.
“Maybach by Dre” 😂
26:53 look at the quality of the trim fitment on the rear door.. I can vouch that these are not built as nicely as they should as I had one in the other day. Drove fabulous but quality was shocking
The dynamic between you two is what keeps me coming back to these videos
Love how James slipped in the "someone peed my pants" line. And then there is Thomas's deadpan face as he is turning on the shock. Amazing intro!
That old one is still gorgeous. Beautiful inside. Was impeccable. Way more tech than a rolls or Bentley from the time.
i chose the old one anytime tho, its more unique and more presence than the new one
even the new one has a lot more tech than the current rolls royce and Bentley. W223 looks uglier than w222 maybach
I was half watching this while working and I often couldn’t tell if they were in the new or old one when I’d glance up
Fun fact the central box that Thomas mentioned at 8:25 which opened from two angles, in the old generation S class the Legendary W221 it actually had a third button which would open a even deeper storage place and in it it had a telephone place holder which was the same telephone used in some other cars including the SLS and when I first noticed that it always amazed me idk why but I thought it was really cool
What's so cool about the Maybach is that it's one size larger than the full size S-Class / A8 / 7-series luxury car segment. Even though it's almost 30cm longer than the W222 Maybach it still doesn't look stretched!
I'm sooo in love with the old Maybach 😍
It’s way better it’s insane
I dont get how the new Mercedeses are so squeaky and stuff That feels so cheap for this Money
@@jonah4739 it's not like that in Europe though 🤔
Way more prestige
Just buy a W221 S klasse
"There's a filing cabinet back here" 15:25 KILLED me hahahaha
That ending was hilarious!!! Glad you left that in. You guys are awesome!
Your guys’ creativity at the beginning of your videos is the best part that out stands you from other nerds out there!
The magic sky roof was introduced in the maybach 62, and can also be optioned with solar panels which powers the air cond automatically under the hot sun keeping it cool even when the engine is off.
Everything about those cars are cool.... ...until it breaks.
Everything other than the price
My uncle drives a current gen S-class, that currently has broken A/C. I’ll stick to my 2008 Suzuki, thanks.
If you can afford either of these cars. You can afford to fix them.
Samuel its not about the money, its about the hassle
Samuel my uncle had one in the early 2000’s brand new and in like a year the AC stopped working and he took it to 3 different mechanic shops and no one was able to fix it. He spent like 8k and took him like 4 weeks to have it working properly. It’s not about the money it’s about time because people in the US are not used to European car and it’s also harder to order parts for foreign cars. They are good cars but not in the US these cars in Europe are more reliable because it’s from there.
I have 2 Maybach from 2004 the 62 and the 57 and it’s really still one of the best cars ever in the luxury class .. I also also have the phantom .. the cost new the same price but the Maybach is just sooo much better .. when I drive it and when I am sitting on the back it’s just maximum best feeling like a privat jet on the Road
Teach me man. What do you do in life to afford this luxury?
Work hard save money and open a buissnes
ill take a job please
This episode is one of my favourites. I love the dynamics between you two!
I like this old vs new series PLZ DO THIS MORE!!
I love the friendship you guys have together. Makes watching this that much better!
James: Maybach by Dre Me: This guy! lmfaoooooooooo
You guys are killing it, specially Thomas @ time 16:20. Keep up the good work.
Thomas: "I try to keep to two-syllable" Syllable is a 3 syllable word.
This is what that has been keeping my shit together this lockdown
These guys ONLY produce quality content. They really deserve so much more subscribers and attention for all the amazing videos they do 😀💯👍
Priceless and hilarious comments, learning how to talk to my own car now,. Great fun
The best Maybach of all time is the Landaulet version of the 2007 models (My opinion)
YES!!!
How??? 19:00 Man that old Maybach was engineered with no cost in mind. Impeccable machine. I wish they could do this again.
Thomas breaking everything was an absolute joy to watch
You intros absolutely rock guys! Always a pleasant rib-cracking surprise!!
Keep it up. One of the great auto channels on youtube. Such a great blend of fun and serious review.
Love you guys hope that you will never stop uploading
I love every single start to your vids😩
This is hands down one of your best episodes!
The older Maybach, timeless luxury, also was very very quiet! Especially when he was flooring it, when In the new one, you could definitely hear that v8 quite a bit when in the 57 s you heard nothing lol i did notice the new one was in sport mode so maybe that had something to do with it!
new one has V12 too as S600 or S650
@@volvos90xc so sweet. I’d SO love to just ride in one, front and back seat just for the experience!! Perhaps even drive it! It be a dream. Everyone wants to drive a lambo or a Ferrari,but I wanna drive a maybach or big luxury v12 cruiser before any of those!!
This video made me subscribe after years of watching only when your videos popped up
I really enjoy you guys and your content is the best ever laugh and learn at the same time!! But we need more ! Like 2 a week !!!
James , bro, love you, great video as always, great acting too ! real talk. After the intro you looked somewhat serious... like either you didn't sleep the night before, were upset at something, or maybe changed medication ( j/k , but disclosure, meds is no joking matter ) ? we all have our off days, missed that great smile, and your contagious joy while reviewing the cars and drag races. Bear hug brother.
Anyone else notice how James and Thomas couldn’t open a car phone😂
I need this channel in my life right now...
Bro your intros are works of art I love the videos tbh I watch your videos to see what new quirky intro you think up
You guys are very entertaining, SUBSCRIBED!
I had an older 745 back in 2003 when new and that things was amazing. Maybe a old vs New BMW 7 series video? I got my 2020 GT500 9 months ago. Just started a page myself. I admire the work you guys do. Keep it up👍
Maybach always felt like such good drift cars to me, long wheelbase means it's easier to catch and the V12 has tonnes of torque
Drifting a Maybach should be a crime
@@DefinitelyNotEmma its art sweety, look it up
@@Simon-ni1ko the car is art, and drifting it would just be stupid. Get an S chassis, it's not like there's much of price gap between them nowadays
Jayz Kanye west - Otis lol they drifting maybachs even one all cut up
That opening sketch was fantastic. SUBSCRIBED
You guys are hilarious! Keep up the good work!
Love the intro!! You definitely know how to get that watch hour 😂
Love you guys! Bloody hilarious and enjoy the content.
Having only seen this vid now and enjoying it, I do some things to consider….. have you bought the car to show off to other people. Then the external looks are important. But if you don’t need validation from other people them the interior is most important…. You don’t run alongside The vehicle at 120km/h looking at how good you look. But you do enjoy quality tech and features in the car and of course comfort and road ability if required. External looks really become secondary. Great channel guys and decent incite full information. Cheers
The most inept review of a high end luxury car ever, and it’s amazing and so on brand. My favorite car review duo ever!
👊
You guys have the best intros🤣😂🔥
Gaves me a pleasure. Thanks for this video.
What a great, funny and interesting video guys. Great job!
I must have played the first second of this video about twelve times before actually watching it. Just kept double tapping back to my heart’s content. I absolutely need this looped and overlaid into a sweet techno dance track by Christmas. It’s not that I enjoy imagining James being tortured...but, it’s not not that I enjoy imagining James being tortured.
Love that intro! You guys are hilarious. The cars are good too I guess.
8:24 “Opens this way, and opens this way”. Me in my 2003 Lincoln Town car… Ive had this for years
I would love to have one of these. Great car and fantastic review. Thank you men.🥶
I love these videos; Luxury car: New vs Old💯
my dad used to say 'its not cheaper, its just less expensive' i think that might be relevant here. great content chaps!
Hilarious review, really underrated channel.
“I try not to stray beyond two syllables.” 😂😂
Throttle House is like wine, it gets better and better with time.
I wish I could say that I'm here just for the Intro,but no,the entire content is just awesome !
Thank you for your series on KZhead watching all the time. We need more subs on your channel the views are great
Throttle House is my favourite car review channel on KZhead.
You guys do very good interior analysis, but could you also include engine/under the hood as well as trunk views and analysis? 🤔
The garage door opener in the back of 57s is actually an advanced Bluetooth module that was shared with Nokia-style phone holders in the Mercedes E and S classes of the era. Hence it goes into the holder. I had one in my E420 and to use it, you press the only button on top which blinks blue until programmed and then once paired turns solid blue, the Coolest gadget at the time.
all i saw was the intro and I had to like the video.... comedy and car show this is the best deal on youtube!
You nailed the intro ❤️😂
Love this channel
I drove a Maybach at work and absolutely loved it
You guys are the best ❤️❤️❤️🥊🥊
No way you two were sober during that (awesome) review. Whatever you were on it worked well.
Old Maybach still looks great and has a great presence on the road. I love it
Khalifa Al Khoori new looks way better
@@carguyns4348 New looks better the old one still has its presence.
This video is so chaotic. I love it.
I just want yall to know that you finally made it. I saw James as a meme of Facebook today
Would be good to see 340i (with MPPSK) VS M340i...
I’ve rewatched this so many times for the intro 😂😂
You guys should do a bit in each episode of which cars engine bay looks better! Would love those shots👌
I'm glad i can say i've been here before they hit 500k Subscribers
That intro was just hilarious 😂😂
Yep! 😂
“No Magic Sky” in the 57, sure, but Magic Sky was first unveiled in the 62...🤷🏼♂️
You guys have amazing chemistry.
Great review. As all the ones since 2018
The intro alone, 😂😂👏👏👏
Hope y'all don't take this wrong but I feel like you guys are the only journalist who have genuinely emulated the chemistry of the JRJ trio. Like you're not trying to be like them, but nothing ever feels forced between the two of you
