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.

The MSG Sphere, the newest and perhaps most iconic Las Vegas landmark, has made its presence known to everyone who steps foot in Las Vegas this week. The Sphere is nearly impossible to miss, and purposefully so. Its newest role is it's most interesting, though: taking a backseat during the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix

New VW ID.7 EV has nearly 400-mile range and an AR heads-up display
The new VW ID.7 EV has an impressive range
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 flagship EV is rated for nearly 400 miles per charge.

The results of Volkswagen's electric car investment are coming faster now. Like other large automakers, Volkswagen's promised transition to electric vehicles took a while to start putting production EVs in customers' driveways. The overall pace of EV launches is picking up, even if sales volumes are backing off a bit -- such is the pace of progress. On November 13, VW announced its new EV flagship model, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.7.

There's a lot to talk about with the ID.7 announcement, and it will probably be a few months into 2024 before VW delivers the first cars to customers in the U.S. According to the vehicle launch announcement, the ID.7 will have a new power unit, advanced driver interface technology, and sumptuous luxury features. However, the ID.7's headline attraction is the driving range per charge.
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 range
According to VW, the ID.7 Pro with an 82 kWh battery has a WLTP range per charge of 386 miles. Let's start with disclaimers. While a hefty number, 386 miles isn't the same as 400 miles, it's nearly there. The second qualification is that the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) rating VW quoted is a European mileage standard typically more optimistic than the U.S. EPA ratings. The consensus is that WLTP ratings are roughly 20% greater than EPA ranges. If that's the case with the ID.7,  the EPA ratings will likely be closer to 300 than 386 miles.

Lately, it seems as though electric cars, specifically Tesla, are the headlining topic for all things automotive.  Whether it is the novel gullwing doors, the video game-style steering wheel, or its self-driving feature, the enigmatic electric carmaker has hoarded the spotlight long enough because the all-new 2024 GMC Acadia is here and deserves plenty of attention. While it doesn't specifically target the Model Y like some other vehicles, the new GMC Acadia brings a compelling mixture of ruggedness and refinement that will be hard for any SUV to match.
