It’s always about more when it comes to high-end luxury brands like Maybach. Here’s another example.
More. It’s what high-end luxury automakers strive to offer to their customers, and the more more the better. We’re talking options galore. Wheels, trimmings, colors, packages, enhancements, advancements, and exclusives. By offering more standard and available features that other automakers don’t, it lends the car more cachet so the company can charge more cash.

Mercedes is no stranger to this concept of more, and with its Maybach subbrand, it’s offering much, much more than ever before. How much are we talking about here? Here’s an example. There are no fewer than six, count ’em, six ways to open the rear “Comfort Doors” of the newly updated 2027 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class we just drove . (Maybe all those ways to open them make doors “comfort”? We dunno.) We tried them all out, because who doesn’t want more ways to open a door?
This one is easy enough to operate, but also just weird. Why anyone would want or need to pull on a button from the headliner just above the door is perplexing, but hey, it’s there. Similar in operation to a window control switch, you pull on it and that’s it.
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class keyfob is a multifunction device, and as you’d expect, one of those functions is the ability to use it to open the rear doors. Just a couple of taps and open they go.
