Mercedes-Benz officially released the new generation of S-class models

Inside the Mercedes-Benz Culture Center, Mercedes-Benz officially unveiled its new generation of S-Class models and officially announced the market price of the new vehicles. The first batch of listed models has three powertrains and four configurations.

New car introduction.

The new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class appearance, the previous mixed reviews are completely dispelled after seeing the actual car, as a flagship luxury business executive sedan, Mercedes-Benz is still its top model to create a sense of elegance, which makes even those who have not seen the new car can immediately recognize its distinctive, this is the flagship style.

If you are lucky enough to see the new car as soon as possible, you may be advised to take a look at the rear of the car. I think the rear of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the sexiest place in the car, and I believe you will agree.

Body dimensions, the first batch of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be all long-wheelbase models, body length of 5246 mm, slightly longer than the old model, but also only a difference of a dozen millimeters. The width and height are 1899 mm and 1496 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 3165 mm. The overall difference with the previous generation is not much, and there is no obvious advantage compared to rivals, but I think the manufacturers should be very good at pinching the balance between size and driving sense.

The interior of the new generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class is moving towards yacht-class luxury standards, with a more luxurious center console design and more sophisticated materials. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster and the same size information display are particularly eye-catching, and the new COMAND system interface has higher resolution and dazzling animation effects. 24-speaker power of up to 1540W Burmester audio can also be seen in the high end models.

In terms of comfort features, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class still has powerful and comfortable seats, in which rear passengers can enjoy seven massage techniques, the unique and innovative "hot stone massage" function is unprecedented, it is said to use a few warm stones to gently press your body, so that the body and mind to relax, to detoxify the effect of stress. Models equipped with independent rear seats can also independently adjust the rear seating position, folding small table, rear DVD, with heating and cooling function of the cup holder, etc. are equipped.

The safety configuration of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class remains strong, in addition to the basic seat belts and airbags and other configurations, the rear row is also equipped with seat belt airbags for the first time. In addition, adaptive cruise control with automatic braking, steering assist, route departure warning, a full backup camera system, and superb headlights realized by 56 LED light-emitting elements all allow the new car to continue to stand out in competition with its rivals.

In addition, the new generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the first car in the world to be completely free of incandescent bulbs inside and out, and Mercedes-Benz has put LED technology to good use in the new S-Class. With more than 500 LEDs inside and out, the new S-Class achieves perfect illumination on the road, outside, and inside the vehicle as well as in the luggage compartment at the same time. With LED technology, energy consumption is reduced by 75 percent compared to conventional headlamps.

The last thing to say is the power system. It is understood that the new generation S400L will be equipped with a 3.0T engine; while the S400L HYBRID is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 3.5L V6 engine with a maximum power of 306 hp and an electric motor; in addition, the S500L is equipped with a 4.7T engine with a maximum power of 455 hp and a peak torque of 700 N-m.

Competitor models.

There is no doubt that in the field of luxury executive business sedans where the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is located, only the BMW 7 Series Li and Audi A8L can compete with it, while the rivals from the second tier if they must be reluctantly counted, are the Jaguar XJ and Volkswagen Phaeton, which are also considered competitors of the same level as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Although the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the latest one among all the models in terms of old and new, the new generation of S-Class is still quite expected to continue to kill in the class and take the top position from the point of view of the brand appeal and the competitiveness of the product itself.

Editor's comment.

No need to think, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class is still raging to the king of the luxury executive business car position, whether it is the new car's exterior design, the innovative use of LED or the full range of safety and comfort, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class from the current point of view has almost achieved the ultimate level of the class, but from the product itself, and the first listed The new generation of S-Class is undoubtedly superior compared to BMW 7 Series Li and Audi A8L. But on the other hand, the price and existing car resources are still a new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class needs to solve the problem, because the entry model listed is the S400L Premium, without the S300L class models, the new generation of S-Class in competition with rival low configuration models may eat some small losses. However, the good news is that next year, Mercedes-Benz may formally introduce a lower level of the new generation of S-class models to pull down the overall starting price of the car, then, another showdown between the three luxury brands' top products will be launched.
