This is the brand-new Mercedes S-Class!
Rather than being an all-new automobile, this is more of a mid-life facelift. However, it's no common facelift, with around 50% of the cars and truck having been changed, making it the most substantial mid-life update in Mercedes history!
The concern is, does this new S-Class have what it takes to take on the Audi A8 & BMW 7 Series? Let's take a closer look …
Starting with the exterior, there are numerous big updates, most especially at the front, where there's a whole new look. The DRLs have actually been upgraded to consist of the 3-pointed star lights, and there's an all-new grille. Nevertheless, while it might be brand new, it looks quite plastic and inexpensive – particularly when blacked out in the AMG Line trim. The side profile stays mostly the very same, and at the back, there are updated (and improved) taillights and a brand-new bumper design.
However, it's on the inside where the most notable changes can be discovered, with the brand-new breathtaking Superscreen now sweeping across the whole dash. It encompasses the infotainment screen and a separate screen for the passenger, and it includes Mercedes brand-new infotainment system – a significant enhancement over the previous model! There's also a brand-new steering wheel (with some physical buttons), and naturally, the cabin is covered in soft-touch, high-quality materials.
In the rear, the seats are as comfortable as ever, especially in the two-seat edition that we have here. There's a big centre console with lots of storage, brand-new passenger screens, and the seats totally recline just as they utilized to.
The new Mercedes S-Class will cost from ₤ 103,000 for the AMG Line Premium cut we have here. However, depending on the engines and trims you pick, this might rise to around ₤ 140,000!
So is it the essential luxury limo, or are you much better off choosing an Audi or BMW? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!
