Comparison overview: The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class starts at ₹2.88 Cr and the Lexus LX at ₹2.80 Cr, a difference of ₹8.00 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹8.88 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.
Engine and performance: The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class uses a 5,980cc Petrol making 603.46bhp@5250-5500rpm and listed torque with Automatic. The Lexus LX uses a 3,346cc Diesel making 304.41bhp@4000rpm and listed torque with Automatic.
Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class number is for the Petrol Automatic and the Lexus LX number is for the Diesel Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.
What one gives that the other does not: The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class adds Curtain Airbag, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Acoustic Vehicle Alert System, Anti-Pinch Power Windows and Knee Airbags. The Lexus LX adds Hill Descent Control, Fog Lights - Rear, Rear Window Wiper, Tinted Glass and Rear Spoiler. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the Lexus LX if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹8.00 L for your down payment than spend it on features.
Buy the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.
The one thing that settles it: Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class offers Curtain Airbag.
Before you sign anything:
Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.
Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.
Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
