S-class, redefining Luxury by Mercedes-Benz

By

The S-Class is termed as the ‘Best Car in the World’ by critics and media | Winner of ‘2021 World Luxury Car of the Year’

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, formerly known as Sonderklasse.

The S-Class is the centerpiece of the brand:

The S-Class stands for the fascination of the Mercedes-Benz brand, blending legendary engineering expertise with a heritage of craftsmanship that meets progressive digital innovation. The S-Class combines artificial intelligence with the experience gained from 135 years of automobile engineering. Mercedes-Benz laid the foundation for this model series with the ‘Model 220’ (W 187), with which it reoccupied the luxury class segment in 1951. Since its market launch in 1951, more than 4 million S-Class Saloons have been delivered to customers around the world. The designation “S-Class” was officially introduced with the 116 model series in 1972. The new designation went hand in hand with a host of innovations that set new standards in terms of safety and comfort.

Overwhelming response to the 7th generation S-Class: more than half of the 150 units of the CBU Launch Edition booked, even before the flagship’s India debut

Reimagining automotive luxury:

The new S-Class utilizes digitization to create a car that responds empathetically to the needs and wishes of its driver and passengers.

 

MBUX: a new dimension in personalization and interaction

MBUX has radically changed the operation of a Mercedes-Benz and now the second generation of MBUX debuts in the new S-Class. The interior of the vehicle is more digital and intelligent featuring five large displays with OLED technology. MBUX now offers enhanced personalization options and intuitive operation. The voice assistant “Hey Mercedes” is even more advanced and dialogue-capable through activation of online services in the Mercedes me App. Moreover, certain actions can be performed even without the activation keyword “Hey Mercedes”.

Interior design: generous ambiance with a lounge-like feeling

The new S-Class has now evolved into a refuge while traveling between the home and workplace. Nearly all comfort-related dimensions of the S-Class have been improved in the front as well as on the rear seats. The sense of space is accordingly generous. The sculptured look of the dashboard, center console, and armrests appears to float above an expansive interior landscape.

Seats: Plenty of high-tech for outstanding long-distance comfort

The seats invite the occupants to sit down and relax. Up to 19 motors in the front seats make it easier for passengers to find a comfortable seating position. The seats also offer ten different massage programs. They use vibration motors and can enhance the effect of a relaxing massage.

 

Driver assistance systems: even more support for the drive

With the new S-Class, Mercedes-Benz takes another step closer to its vision of accident-free driving. The driver is supported by numerous new or extended driving assistance systems. When a dangerous situation is detected, the assistance systems are able to respond to impending collisions as the situation demands. With improved environmental sensors, the parking systems provide the driver with increased support when maneuvering at low speed.

Exterior design: Modern luxury in its most desirable form

The S-Class is seen as a trendsetter in its segment. The new generation continues this tradition. With a short front overhang, a long wheelbase, and a balanced rear overhang, the S-Class is designed as a classical sedan with perfect proportions. The limousine is also one of the world’s most aerodynamic cars, specifically in the luxury sedan segment, with a Cd of 0.22.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Thanks

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
