Mercedes-Benz S-Class Saloon
On the road price from £70,425.00
Successive generations of S-Class Saloon have raised the bar for automotive design and engineering but this latest incarnation exceeds all expectations. Combining class-leading levels of luxury and safety with exceptional performance, it is a car created entirely without compromise.
This unwavering commitment to excellence is reflected in the sumptuous, beautifully appointed interior. Using only the finest materials, we’ve created a haven of peace and relaxation: quiet, spacious, and equipped with a wealth of technology to enhance your driving experience. From reclining rear seats** to MAGIC BODY CONTROL*** suspension, the S-Class Saloon delivers the smoothest ride imaginable.
Naturally, exterior styling is elegant and refined: it is an S-Class, after all. Yet it appears more dynamic too, particularly the AMG Line with its muscular AMG bodystyling. As for performance, a choice of engines includes a petrol V12 that can power from 0–62 mph in only 4.6 seconds, a V6 diesel managing up to 50.4 mpg* combined, or even the S 500 e, capable of up to 100.9 mpg* combined.
Feature of Mercedes-Benz S-Class Saloon
Exterior
Mercedes-Benz has played safe in the design department and the new car features a much toned down look. The front of the car features a new and larger radiator grille attached to a redesigned bumper. The Intelligent LED Light System headlamps adapt their illumination according to the road conditions, speeds, as well as the oncoming traffic. The side profile reveals aerodynamically flowing body lines or the ‘dropping line’, which meets the arched roofline at the rear. Speaking of the rear, the LED tail lights feature prominently along with two huge tail pipes. The rear doors are now larger and the roofline is more steeply raked, though it hasn’t had any adverse effect on the headroom. Though the car rides on the same core chassis, it is 100kg lighter than the previous car, has better torsion stiffness and boasts of lower NVH levels. The car also features an enhanced AIRMATIC suspension with Magic Body Control for a better ride.
Interiors
Mercedes-Benz has always been extravagant when it comes to including the latest technology and luxury in an S-Class, and W222 is no different. The traditional instrument cluster has been ditched and two 12-inches TFT displays have been added, one in the centre of the dashboard and the other behind the new multifunction, two-spoke wooden steering wheel. The S500 features Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system with an inbuilt 250GB hard disk. The system acts as a control centre for all audio, navigational and telecommunications functions in the car.
Being an expensive luxury sedan, we can expect that a lot of the S-Class buyers would prefer to be chauffeured around. So, a lot has also been changed for the comfort of the rear seat passengers too. Among the other latest additions is a seven-coloured LED ambient light system, a high-quality Burmester music system, heated armrests as well as a specialised air balance package which filters the air in the cabin and sprays a special scent branded by Mercedes-Benz themselves. The heated and adjustable rear seats feature a Hot Stone Massage system which as the name suggests, is a massager. The car also features a WiFi hotspot for internet access when on the move. As an optional extra, the customer can also opt for an individually customisable ‘first class rear’ business package.
Engine
Mercedes-Benz, as of now, offers the S-Class only with a 4.7-litre bi-turbo petrol V8 engine. The engine pumps out 460bhp and 700Nm of torque and is synchronised to a seven-speed 7G-Tronic automatic transmission. In India, Mercedes-Benz offers the S-Class with a lone variant, the S500.
Competitors
The S-Class is pitted against its German counterparts, the Audi A8 and the BMW 7 Series as well as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and the Maserati Quattraporte.
Performance.
Significantly lighter and more aerodynamic than its predecessor, the S-Class offers an exceptional blend of power and efficiency, with the S 350 d returning up to 50.4 mpg* combined.
Safety.
When it detects pedestrians at the roadside, optional Night View Assist Plus (standard on S 600 AMG Line L and Mercedes-AMG S65) sends out four short spotlight pulses – making both driver and pedestrians aware of each other.
Design.
From the iconic star on its bonnet to the character lines down its flanks, the S-Class is a study in elegant, dynamic design. Models include the AMG Line, complete with dramatic AMG bodystyling.
Technology.
MAGIC BODY CONTROL suspension (available as standard on the S 600 AMG Line L) uses cameras to scan the road ahead, then adapts to undulations within a fraction of a second. The resulting ride is virtually flawless.
Interior.
As ever, the S-Class cabin is the definition of luxury with exquisite materials and finishes throughout. Comfort is truly exceptional, with options including reclining rear seats for the ultimate passenger ride.
