Mercedes S-Class

The new generation S-Class adopted the same design language we have seen in all the recently launched Mercedes models, which was started by the 2010 Mercedes F800 Style Concept. This means it received a larger radiator grille in three-dimensional design, a long hood and new headlights and for the rear a new bumper, a rear windscreen that cuts into the C-pillars and new-style taillights.

Engine lineup includes both gasoline and diesel variants, plus two hybrid versions. The base version is the S350 BlueTec, a model powered by a 3.0-liter V-6 engine with an output of 258 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. On the opposite side there is the S500 - a model that gets a 4.7-liter V-8 engine with an output of 455 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

On the German market, prices for the new S-Class will start at €79,789 (about $101,500).
