The wait is over and Mercedes have finally officially unveiled the new S-Class sedan luxury vehicle. Mercedes is heavy on its heels trying to catch up with fellow German car makers BMW and Audi, that they have even stated that the new S-Class has been designed to most luxurious and advanced vehicles ever constructed.
“Rather than being about safety or aesthetics, power or efficiency, comfort or dynamism, our aspirations were ‘the best or nothing’ in every respect. No other car stands for the Mercedes-Benz brand promise more than the S-Class,” said Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
The car also looks better than before and the radiator grille is now larger, upright and distinctly three-dimensional in design. With its long bonnet, the flowing, domed roof line and the gently slanting rear end, the new S-Class has classic saloon proportions. The size and space have been fashioned in such a way that the S-Class appears prestigious, and the powerful roof line are curves also add a bit of sportiness in its looks.
It is also the first car to be completely fitted with LEDs and not using a single light bulb. Even on the inside there are approximately 300 LEDs. It is also the world’s first car to be able to detect bumps on the road ahead. It uses ROAD SURFACE SCAN to detect such unevenness by means of the stereo camera, and then a system called MAGIC BODY CONTROL instantaneously sets up the suspension to deal with the new situation. There is also tons of safety features including some new additions to technology and the interior has been made more spacious, comfortable and entertaining. There are many different engine options available including a hybrid variant.
