Mercedes-Benz S Class News

Although Mercedes already offers more powerful V-8s, the automaker's V-12 will stick around for at least one more generation.

The new flagship sedan moves to Mercedes' MRA platform for rear-wheel-drive cars and should arrive at dealerships in 2020 as a 2021 model.

The Mercedes-AMG S65 Final Edition waves goodbye to a stalwart powerplant: the company's 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12. Mercedes in February confirmed that the special sedan will mark the end of the road for the engine in the S-Class range, and that we'll see the covers come off at the 2019...

Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler in the past six months has made moves to protect the S680 and GLS680 designations. First discovered by Motor1, the designations were registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and specifically relate to usage on land vehicles and structural...

The new S560e variant in Mercedes-Benz's S-Class lineup is the first to feature the automaker's third-generation plug-in hybrid system, which has not only been tuned for efficiency but also improved power and electric range compared to the second-generation system found in the outgoing S550e. The...

Mercedes-Benz built the W140-generation S-Class from 1991 through 1998. During that time, we'd estimate that approximately zero of the engineers involved in the project ever envisioned a jacked-up, off-road version sitting atop a former military truck chassis. Someone out there figured that this...

Mercedes-Benz will sell you a 2018 S450 for $90,895. You’ll have to special order it and be prepared for the salesman to raise an eyebrow and repeatedly ask, “are you sure?” That’s because the vast majority of Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans that leave the automaker’s...

You thought you were ballin in the Rolls-Royce Phantom? No, no. For ultimate baller status you need to step up to Mercedes-Benz's S-Class Pullman. That way you'll be in the same company as former popes, kings and queens, and the odd dictator. The latest version is offered by the Maybach sub-brand...

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class already cuts it as pretty exclusive in our book, but the new S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet Exclusive Editions will up the nameplate's opulence. Mercedes-Benz revealed the two Exclusive Edition cars on Monday ahead of their public debut at the 2018 Geneva motor show this...

The revival of Maybach as a Mercedes-Benz sub-brand has been a runaway success. As an example, during the course of 2017 one out of every 10 S-Classes sold was a Maybach, with China, Russia and the United States gobbling up most of the cars. Mercedes, for the 2019 model year, is taking new steps to...

Mercedes-Benz has revealed its newest member of the 2018 S-Class family: the S560e plug-in hybrid. After revealing the updated S-Class range in April, Mercedes debuted the S560e on Tuesday at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. With Mercedes' third-generation hybrid unit at its core, the 2018 S560e is...

Large, luxurious coupes and convertibles aren’t big sellers, though the vehicles often play the important role of brand halos, or “dream cars” as Mercedes-Benz refers to them. The latest from the Three-Pointed Star are the 2018 S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet. Mercedes’s S-Class...

Depreciation is the ninth wonder of the world. (Compound interest is the eighth, in case you're wondering.) When it comes to picking out some of the finest automobiles, their high asking prices may not always lead to sky-high residual values. In this case of this 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, it sold...

A classic Mercedes-Benz is a wonderful machine. The cars tend to be rock solid, and they last forever when maintained properly. Jay Leno has one in his collection, and it recently came off a fairly extensive restoration. Leno's car is a 1971 Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Coupe, and it's a shining example of...

R-E-L-A-X. Frankie said we should all do it. Aaron Rodgers famously said it when the Green Bay Packers started 1-2 in 2014 before coming within three minutes of a trip to the Super Bowl. And now, Mercedes-Benz, not content to build what it considers the best car in the world, wants S-Class...

Self-driving technology is only just starting to really blossom, though not one vehicle can truly claim to be fully autonomous just yet. However, Mercedes-Benz believes the recent production start of the 2018 S-Class is a moment for the history books. Why? Because the updated luxury sedan is able...

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class ushers in refreshed looks, new powertrains, and a repackaged interior, but the changes go further than skin deep. Specifically, Mercedes is ratcheting up the active safety features with the S-Class' mid-cycle refresh. The nervous system of the entire driver assistance...

Updated versions of the Mercedes-AMG S63 and S65 performance sedans were unveiled along with the rest of the updated 2018 S-Class range during last week's 2017 Shanghai auto show. The most significant of the updates is a new powertrain for the S63, in this case the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8...

The current S-Class has been a huge hit for Mercedes-Benz. Over 300,000 examples have been sold since the car went on sale in 2013, and that’s the figure for sedans only. The car, a W222 to all the fans, has now reached the midway point in its life cycle, and in Mercedes tradition it’s...

Mercedes-Benz has a busy 2017 Shanghai auto show ahead of it. The automaker has confirmed the debuts of its updated S-Class as well as a concept previewing a new A-Class sedan. Photos of the updated S-Class have already surfaced. They reveal only minor visual tweaks for the flagship sedan, which...
