Maybach has a gorgeous new ‘Night Series’ with updates inside and out, and exclusive finishes

Maybach's new Night Series will make you feel like Batman

If you love top luxury cars, the Mercedes Maybach is the creme de la creme of elegance and opulence. From exquisite hand-built craftsmanship to state-of-the-art technology and luxury interior, Mercedes-Maybach cars are made for the affluent who value prestige and sophistication.

In addition to that, the cosmetic details of Mercedes-Maybach models are carefully curated to make it stand out like a diamond. Once in a while, Maybach redefines its looks to keep up with the times — and probably because it doesn’t want to become boring. Well, it’s about that time: Mercedes Maybach is updating its details both inside and out with a new chapter dubbed the Night Series.

According to Gorden Wagener, the Chief Design Officer at Mercedes-Benz, the “Night Series is the most progressive Maybach design package.” He also added that the “goal was to create an exciting new style, offering a playful sense of rebellion that is unexpected to what you usually see in a Mercedes-Maybach.”

What are the new details you should expect? The Night Series package will be first rolled out on the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV and the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S Class, which will be delivered later this year. It will also be available in the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS that is scheduled to hit the dealership in early 2024.

However, the Night Series is not all black colors like Batman — it’s mostly a mixture of dark chrome and rose gold elements. For instance, the 2024 Mercedes Maybach S Class has been redesigned with dark chrome elements on the tailpipe with a sprinkle of rose gold details on the headlights. For the paint job, you can order your Maybach S Class in white, grey, or black hues — but if you prefer a distinctive look, you can choose the “Onyx Black” and “Mojave Silver” finish.

Similarly, the 2024 EQS SUV, which is Maybach’s first electric car, will feature dark chrome details on the headlights and front bumper incorporated with a Maybach emblem. The rose gold details are subtle on the headlights to complement the dark chrome elements. Besides that, you can combine black and silver or black and white paint finish on your exterior.

The Night Series package is also consistent on the upcoming Maybach GLS — it includes dark chrome on the front fascia and rose gold on the headlights profile. This comes after Mercedes recently updated the 2024 GLS models, and the Maybach GLS trim was facelifted with 23-inch wheels. However, the Night Series package will be available if you order it in white or black hue or a color combination of “Obsidian Black” and “Mojave Silver.”

Another cool feature is the ambient lighting and start-up animation that comes with the Night Series package. As for the interior, you can expect all the luxury features in current Maybach models. The difference is, the Night Series package includes more interior color options and herringbone accents.

New Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe has wider stance, increased horsepower, arrives in 2024
What you need to know about the new CLE 53 Coupe
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe (european model)

The new Mercedes-AMG CLE will bring more power, stability, and a host of other high-end features when it hits the road in 2024. Powering it all is a mild hybrid 3. o liter inline-six engine that Mercedes' storied performance department AMG has had a tinker with. As a result, the New Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe can go from 0 to 40 in just four seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 155.

Part of the performance boost is down to the auxiliary compressor, which allows a larger turbocharger to be fitted and can provide higher torque over a wider range of speeds. This, in turn, is assisted by an electric motor, boosting things even further. Alongside its 443 horsepower, the CLE's engine can produce 413 lb-ft of torque, which can be upped to 443 lb-ft for up to 12 seconds thanks to overboost. All of that then goes through AMG's AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission system.

Climate change and electric vehicles: New report says our obsession with SUVs cancels out benefits of EVs
Make that SUV electric next time

The switch to EVs could have had an even greater impact on the environment if people weren’t obsessed with massive vehicles, a new report claims. The wide range of SUVs available and people’s love for them has reduced electric vehicles’ impact on climate change and prevented carbon emissions from dropping by up to 30% over the past decade.

It’s easy to see why people are opting for an SUV. They’re immensely practical; you can cram a lot of stuff, or a few large objects, into an SUV. While moving furniture may be a rare occurrence, and strapping a kayak to the roof is more of a thing you threaten to do each summer than an actual hobby, it’s always nice to know you can. Then, there are other practical elements, such as the ability to tackle difficult weather situations or challenging terrains. This may outweigh an individual’s commitment to lowering emissions.
