New Mercedes-Benz S-Class has gone on-sale in UK

The most advanced and luxurious Mercedes-Benz, the new S-Class, is now put on sale in the UK. The new S-Class is tagged at £62,650 OTR (Rs. 5823249.98). The S-Class is known for its technology standard, pioneering safety, comfort and engineering features such as ABS, anti-lock brakes, SRS airbag, ESP, catalytic converters and Night View Assist. The new S-Class promises to continue to raise the benchmark in efficiency, in comfort, refinement and personalization.

With a three engine line up of one diesel, one petrol and one petrol hybrid - S 350 BlueTEC, S 400 Hybrid and S 500 - the new range also offers two trim choices of SE Line and AMG Line, as well as the standard and long wheelbase options, with UK production commencing in September ahead of deliveries in October. The new S-Class offers up to a nine per cent increase in power over the outgoing W 221 model (to 333bhp for the S 400 Hybrid), 18 per cent reduction in CO2 (147 g/km for the S 400 Hybrid) and 22 per cent improvement in fuel consumption (44.8 mpg for the S 400 Hybrid).

The new S-Class also comes with features such as the reversing camera, Command Online NTG 5, full LED Intelligent Light System, DAB digital radio and keyless start. Moreover, the car also comes equipped with Magic Vision Control, the innovative wash/wipe system that applies washer fluid directly in front of the wiper blades to minimise waste and obstruction to the driver, enhanced AirMATIC full air suspension system with continuously adaptive damping control delivering a composed ride while retaining the ability to lower at speed or rise by 30mm should it be required during low speed manoeuvres, and COMAND Online NTG 5 – the latest generation of telematics – all as standard.

The Magic Body Control suspension system debuts on the new S-Class – an option on the S 500. Linked to the new Road Surface Scan system, Magic Body Control uses a stereo camera located on the top edge of the windscreen to scan the road up to 15-metres ahead, allowing it to model a precise image of the road surface.

The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class comes equipped with a pair of high-resolution TFT screens measuring 307 mm diagonally. Three different seat packages are available in the rear – ranging from three seats finished in high quality leather to two individual seats complete with the ability seats to recline to an angle of 43.5 degrees. Furthermore, the seats can, if desired, simulate a hot stone massage for even greater comfort and the armrests can be heated.
