Emirates Motor Company, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Abu Dhabi and the flagship company of the Al Fahim Group, has introduced the new Mercedes-Maybach Pullman.

Mercedes-Maybach’s proud history of building vehicles that offer exclusivity and a first-class travel experience is brought to the forefront with the latest edition to its Maybach fleet, said a statement.

With a host of high-end comforts fitted as standard, the vehicle lives up to modern expectations of what constitutes maximum exclusivity and luxury for Middle Eastern customers, it said.

The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is the definition of safety, style and performance. The 5.6 tonne saloon car can reach speeds of up to 160kmph thanks to its twin turbo V-12 engine, it added.

A favourite of royalty, government ministers, heads of state and high net worth individuals across the globe, the new Mercedes-Maybach Pullman’s size is a sign of its special status.

At 6.5 meters-long, it has enough room for a generously proportioned and tastefully appointed club lounge in the rear.

The chauffeur-driven limousine’s VIP passengers sit in two executive seats facing the direction of travel while two other passengers sit facing backwards.

All of the passengers enjoy the most legroom of a car of this type while the extra headroom - the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is more than 100mm taller than a Mercedes S-Class - means they can get in and out with the greatest of ease and comfort.

The two executive seats can be adjusted to a unique level of comfort. The backrest can be calibrated to a maximum angle of 43.5 degrees while the footwell and seat both remain unchanged. An upright position of 19 degrees allows for a relaxed working space.

The model’s interior adhers to the strict principals of style and luxury that has made the Maybach limousine marque so popular in the region and across the world.

The interior is upholstered in the finest quality leather throughout as standard, including the headliner, door frames and seat consoles.

As one would expect of a Maybach, there are three analogue instruments in the headliner informing passengers in the rear of the outside temperature, speed and time.

Chris Edwards, general manager of EMC Passenger Cars, said: “The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is the pinnacle of automotive luxury.”

“As well as spacious seating in a first-class level of comfort, the limousine is the embodiment of exclusivity at the highest level for high-ranking passengers,” he said.

“The model offers complete comfort along with the stunning performance that is expected of a high-end luxury vehicle. Its popularity is testament to the vehicle’s ability to meet the needs of some of the most discerning customers all across the globe,” he added.

“EMC is delighted to offer the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman to its customers across the UAE,” he concluded.

Dr B R Shetty, founder and chairman of BRS Ventures, UAE Exchange and NMC Health, was among the first customers to purchase a Mercedes-Maybach Pullman when the vehicle was released in the UAE, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
