INNOVATION
With a new S-Class, the sun rises on a new era for the automobile. More thoughtful of its passengers. More in tune with its driver. More protective of those within or even near its elegant presence. Everything that matters most to you, matters more than ever to the S-Class.
More evolved. Keeps evolving
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) is more intuitive and intelligent, and grows even smarter over time. An advanced multiscreen, multitouch digital cockpit can recognize your fingerprint and respond to your natural voice.
Recognizes you. Remembers your likes
A 12.8-inch Organic LED (OLED) touchscreen is the centrepiece of up to five screens that can share content or entertain individually. You can personalize 800 settings, in the car or from your phone, in up to seven user profiles. Disclaimer[6] Disclaimer[7]
Front air bags. Even in back
A perennial pioneer in occupant protection, the S-Class looks out for its own and even those around it with fresh advancements in safety. Among them, the benefits of front air bags can now be extended to the S 580 rear cabin. Disclaimer[8]
Easier in here. Safer out there
A more advanced suite of driver assists is standard. Systems and sensors network, look further ahead and into adjacent lanes, and tap into GPS and real-time data for better anticipation, quicker reaction, and smoother adaptation. Disclaimer[9]
DESIGN
Signature details, majestic proportions and a windswept sportiness unite in two sedans, both undeniably modern yet unmistakably an S-Class. The gleaming Star stands proud above their iconic grille, a beacon of inspiration for all cars to follow.
Thousands of stitches, seamless result
Finely tailored leathers and exotic wood and metal trim envelop fresh technology in an unfading dedication to craftsmanship and detail. From switches to speakers, stitchwork to sculpting, every element creates a harmony of form and function.
In the background, in the moment
You can select, pair and sequence the 64-colour ambient lighting. Available active functions let the lighting confirm climate adjustments, offer driving alerts, or warn passengers if they reach for a door handle while a vehicle is approaching.
Fill the air, feel the sound
Standard Burmester® 3D Surround Sound offers immersive, personalized audio. A new 4D option integrates resonators into the seats for music you can feel. Ear-level speakers deliver driving information to the driver rather than the whole cabin.
Distinctive lines, distinguished bloodlines
The S 500 Sedan features standard 19-inch wheels, while the long-wheelbase S 580 rolls on standard 20s. The elegantly aggressive Sport Package and black-accented Night Package offer AMG wheel options up to 21 inches.
PERFORMANCE
A new generation of performance pairs turbo and electric boost for more than 400 hp in every model. Torrential torque is precisely apportioned to all four air-suspended wheels for all-year, all-road confidence.
Turbo torque, electric EQ Boost
EQ Boost advances its innovative Integrated Starter Generator to add torque electrically and make ECO Start/Stop even smoother. The S 500's 429-hp inline-6 turbo is further boosted by an electric auxiliary compressor. Twin turbos help the S 580 V8 output 496 hp.
Tighter turns, smoother maneuvers
Rear-axle steering, with options up to 4.5 or 10 degrees depending on wheels, helps ease parking and city maneuvers. At speed, the rear wheels turn with the fronts for swifter lane changes, or adapt based on driving dynamics for more stable handling.
Moving modes, for changing moods
Effortless or engaging, as you wish: DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes let you dial in performance with a few taps. The 9-speed transmission, suspension and more sharpen in Sport mode, ease up in ECO, or you can set up a mode of your own.
Level-headed, surefooted
Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive sends torque to the tires that can best turn traction into action, from winter's wrath to tight turns. AIRMATIC air suspension can adapt each wheel's damping and ride height to optimize agility and poise. Disclaimer[10]
