0 Comments

When you are asked about the best luxury car on the market, excluding of course the Rolls-Royce models or others in that exclusive class, the name that comes up the most is the S-Class from Mercedes-Benz.  This car has it all, sophistication, over the top luxury features, space galore, plenty of power and a performance that is unmatched on the market.  You would be hard pressed to find a car that competes at all even though the BMW 7 Series and Lexus LS both try to in a big way, but neither have found a way to come close to the complete package this car offers.

An S-Class offers you a cabin that has more to give you from every position than any other car.  the detail that is included extends to things such as heated armrests, reclining rear seats, a pair of 12.3 inch color screens in the dashboard and tons of LED lighting.  There is room in the rear for three to feel very comfortable from every seat in order to bring in a generous amount of space for all to love.  You have to sit inside the S-class to truly understand exactly how much comfort and class this car will offer you.

When looking to comfort and luxury the S-Class must also offer a smooth ride for you to feel comfortable conducting business in the backseat while your driver takes you down the road.  With an adaptive dampening that continually adjusts that suspension height to handle all road abrasions and defects while delivering the smoothest ride possible.  In addition to being smooth on the ride you want to be able to accelerate quickly when you are in a hurry and the S-Class can reach sixty mph in less than five seconds in order to offer some of the best acceleration on the market.

With four engines and five different setups you can enjoy the S-Class offers you the opportunity to select the right powertrain for your driving needs.  The base model uses a 4.7-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine for the S550 and S550 4Matic which gives you 449 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque.  This engine attached to the seven-speed automatic transmission allows for a fuel mileage of 17 city/26 hwy mpg for the RWD sedan, 16 city/26 hwy mpg for the AWD sedan and 16 city/24 hwy mpg for the Coupe.

Moving up the next engine is a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 with electric assist motor on the S550e.  This gives you an engine that offers 436 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque to be enjoyed.  Moving up from there you see a 6.0-liter twin turbocharged V12 found in the S600 sedan.  This sedan gives you 523 horsepower and 612 lb.-ft. of torque with a fuel mileage of 13 city/21 hwy mpg.  Moving to more power is a 5.5-liter twin turbocharged V8 that is placed in the AMG S63 4Matic which gives you 577 horsepower and 664 lb.-ft. of torque and brings in a fuel mileage of 15 city/23 hwy mpg.  Finally, at the top level the 6.0-liter engine is tuned to 621 horsepower and 738 lb.-ft. of torque on the AMG S65.  this engine and the previous one are all AMG only while this one gives you a fuel mileage rating of 13 city/20 hwy mpg.

As a stylish sedan or coupe the S-Class offers you a look that lets you know this car is at the top of its game.  The sweeping lines and awesome looks of this amazing car give you a build and a look that are elegant and sophisticated to be easy to admire and love.  The wheels on the S-Class are multi-spoked to be attractive and enticing and the front of the car is adorned with some chrome that gives it an aristocratic look and amazing appeal.  As a long and luxurious sedan you will have no problem impressing the most staunch critic with this beauty.

Standard equipment for this car is more like optional features that are offered on other equipment.  For the S-Class these features include sixteen-way power front seats, a 13-speaker Burmester audio system, a navigations system, a power rear sunshade, an in-cabin fragrance system, advanced safety systems and 24-hour roadside assistance as long as you own the car.

The optional equipment of this car offers a massive amount of self- indulging features that are made to ensure the car is as comfortable as possible including a massaging feature, climate controlled front seats, nighttime vision display on an infrared screen, Distronic Plus with radar-based cruise control, autonomous steering, higher grade leather seats, pillow soft headrests, quad-zone climate control, the mbrace Plus with apps in the infotainment system and the Mercedes-Benz concierge, an executive seating package, a rear seat refrigerator, a dual-screen entertainment system and power side shades for more privacy.

Looking to the price of the this high luxury car the base price for the S550 is just a little over $96,500 with $3,000 more for the 4Matic version.  The AMG S63 will cost a little over $144,000 and the S600 will come in at around $172,000 while the top of the class the AMG S65 sedan comes out at a price of $228,000.  the coupe of the S550 4Matic will cost just a little under the $122,000 mark and top out at the $237,000 price mark for the AMG S65 coupe version.

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class is certainly a serious investment in a car that can cost nearly as much as some homes.  This car is one of the most advanced luxury models that have ever been built by Mercedes- Benz.  Whether you buy this car as a model you are going to drive yourself as one you are going to have driven for you this car is one of the best ever built and offered on the market.  Certainly a car that does not need to be heavily advertised, the S-Class is made to be a car that will show off your success in a massive way for you to enjoy and love.
