The all-new Mercedes-Benz S-class aims to continue the plush four-door saloon’s traditional dominance of the global luxury car market with a technological tour de force that combines comfort, space, efficiency, safety, quality and connectivity. The new Mercedes flagship is charged with the task of replacing not one but two different model lines.

On the one hand, it has been developed to fill the role of the previous generation S-class on sale since 2007. On the other, it has been conceived to occupy the very same territory vacated by Mercedes-Benz’s discontinued Maybach brand and its 57 and 62 limousines.
