2009 MAYBACH 62 | WDBVG78JX9A002609

Body Styles

The Maybach 62 is a four-door, four-seat ultra-luxury limousine characterized by its extended wheelbase and stately proportions. Measuring approximately 6,165 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,573 mm in height, it offers unparalleled rear passenger space. The vehicle's design emphasizes elegance and grandeur, with a prominent chrome grille, elongated silhouette, and subtle character lines. The 62 S variant features distinctive styling cues, including a revised front fascia and exclusive alloy wheel designs.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The numerical designation "62" in Maybach 62 refers to the vehicle's length of approximately 6.2 meters. This naming convention aligns with Maybach's tradition of denoting model lengths, with the "57" representing the shorter 5.7-meter variant. The approach underscores the brand's emphasis on spaciousness and luxury.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Maybach 62 was a statement of absolute excess and tailored luxury, and its exterior and interior palette reflected a philosophy of near-limitless personalization. From its inception, the 62 was envisioned as a vehicle for dignitaries, royalty, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and no two vehicles were truly identical when it came to color, trim, and detailing.

The exterior was available in an array of classic and bespoke shades, ranging from conservative to striking. Common base colors included Baltic Black, Nevada Silver, Rock Crystal White, and Caspian Black, while premium options like Autumn Bronze, Tuscany Red, Andalusite Grey, and Antiqua White Pearl introduced subtle metallic flake and layered paint effects. Many Maybachs were finished in two-tone combinations, such as Black over Silver, White over Gold, or Brown over Champagne, carefully separated by hand-painted pinstripes and polished dividing lines. Customers could also request paint-to-sample shades or commission custom matte finishes through Maybach’s Individual Collection.

The Maybach 62’s exterior design emphasized length and presence, with its 6.2-meter body, chrome grille, long rear doors, and classic three-box silhouette. Paint finishes were often topped with multiple clear coats for depth, and some models incorporated diamond dust or mother-of-pearl flecking for a truly bespoke surface texture.

Inside, the Maybach 62 was a private jet for the road, offered in an extraordinary variety of interior colorways, materials, and trims. Leather upholstery options included Grand Nappa leather in tones like Executive Beige, Java, Aspen White, Black Pearl, Mandarin Orange, and Dark Havana — many of which were available in two-tone or contrast piping configurations. The leather was aniline-dyed, hand-stitched, and extended from seats and door panels to the dashboard, headliner, and even rear parcel shelves.

Rear passengers could select from various interior ambiences, including piano lacquer black, natural walnut, carbon fiber, fine burr walnut, and even gold leaf inlays, while exclusive trims such as White Poplar, Zebrano, and Mojave Maple were offered for console and fascia surfaces. The roof liner was typically trimmed in Alcantara, suede, or woven silk, and many 62s featured a starlight headliner or electrochromic panoramic roof that could be dimmed at the press of a button.

Customization extended to every visible component: rear reclining thrones with massage and ventilation, personalized embroidery, monogrammed cushions, and champagne flutes with a refrigerated cabinet came standard in most fully optioned builds. Maybach also offered curtains, rear-seat entertainment, and fold-out writing tables, effectively turning the cabin into a rolling boardroom or lounge.

Wheels for the Maybach 62 were elegant rather than aggressive, designed to complement the car’s dignified stance. Most models were equipped with 19-inch multi-spoke forged alloy wheels, typically in high-polish silver, titanium grey, or chrome-plated finishes. Optional 20-inch turbine-style wheels were available later in production, especially on Maybach 62 S variants. These wheels were designed to minimize road noise and improve ride comfort in conjunction with the AIRMATIC dual-control air suspension system.

Wheel center caps featured the Maybach double-M logo, and behind them sat ventilated disc brakes with silver or black calipers, tuned not for track performance but for smooth, fade-free deceleration at high speeds, even when fully loaded with passengers and armor.

In every way, the body colors, interior finishes, and wheel selections on the Maybach 62 served a singular purpose: to signal that the owner’s preferences were not just indulged — they were anticipated and hand-executed, down to the stitching of the floor mats.

vs Competitors

In the realm of ultra-luxury automobiles, the Maybach 62 stands out for its emphasis on rear passenger comfort and bespoke customization. Compared to the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the Maybach offers a more understated exterior design while providing comparable levels of interior opulence. The Bentley Arnage, while luxurious, leans more towards a driver-focused experience, whereas the Maybach prioritizes the chauffeured passenger with features like fully reclining rear seats and individualized climate zones. The Maybach's advanced technology, such as the AIRMATIC suspension and Sensotronic Brake Control, further distinguishes it in a segment where traditional craftsmanship meets modern innovation.

Fun Fact

The Maybach 62 was so thoroughly engineered for rear-passenger luxury that its most iconic feature wasn’t its V12 engine — but its rear seat legroom, which was greater than in many private jets. The car’s name itself referred to its 6.2-meter length, making it longer than a Rolls-Royce Phantom of the era. To accommodate this, the 62 came standard with individually reclining rear lounge chairs featuring heated calf supports, active seat ventilation, pneumatic massage, and silver-plated champagne flutes in a climate-controlled rear cabinet.

But one of the most extraordinary touches was the electrochromic panoramic glass roof — a world first at the time. At the push of a button, it transformed from transparent to opaque, using liquid crystal technology, turning the entire rear cabin into a private sanctuary. Combined with powered privacy curtains, dual-screen entertainment, and noise insulation so refined it rivaled recording studios, the Maybach 62 wasn’t just a car — it was an executive suite gliding silently at 250 km/h.
