Mercedes claims that more than 50 percent of the S-Class—nearly 2,700 parts—has been revised. The sculpted slab sides of the S-Class remain elegant as ever.

There are eight screens in this vehicle, including the marque’s three-part Superscreen that spans the entire front dash. Except for its inability to lie completely flat, the right rear seat is superior to just about everything we’ve experienced flying in business class on a plane. The latest changes to the S-Class cover nearly every component category that one sees, touches, and senses.

The S580 covers zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph, while the heaviest of the three S-Class versions, the S580e, dispatches zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and tops out at 130 mph. All stateside S-Classes are equipped with the marque’s capable 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The S-Class seems to have every advanced driver-assistance feature known to humanity—all ruled by a suite of 27 sensors. Advertisement Advertisement The S-Class out-looks, out-performs, out-secures, and out-sybarites every other sedan in its category. Mercedes-Benz has yet to release pricing for any of the forthcoming S-Class model variants we drove, but an estimated base is $125,000 for the S500.
