The S-Class is the one car that has every car enthusiast gasping in admiration. Other luxury car manufacturers must figure out how to get this one off the throne. The Mercedes Benz S-Class used to be known as Sonderklasse which is German for ‘special class’. It was abbreviated to ‘S-Klasse’.
Mercedes is not going down easy though. It has quite a few classy and luxurious reasons that will ensure it keeps its crown firmly on. For instance, it comes with active cruise control that:
- Senses and maintains distance from other cars
- Slows you down for roundabouts and corners
- Tolls using GPS
Milani Exotic Car Rentals gives a glimpse into the kind of luxurious experience you expect with the Mercedes Benz S-Class.
Features of the S-Class Luxury Sedan | Mercedes Benz
A look at the inside of this glorious ride as well as the layout, space, and finish will give a clear picture of the car and the comfort as well as the luxury that awaits you.
The Inside
The dashboard gives the driver two enormous instrument and display screens. The updated ones are even more spectacular in clarity and logic.
The screens are set in worked leather, metal, and wood, the steering wheel is new with touchpads and cruise control. If you are not excited by buttons, you may have to reconcile yourself to the fact that there are myriads of them.
It has a facility known as ENERGIZING Comfort Control lighting, seats and stereo enabling.
You have rear seats that massage and recline midway to horizontal. In addition, the heat and vent. The leg-rests resemble those of aircraft and the legroom would suit an NBA player just fine.
The car gives you exceptional rear entertainment too. The V8 has an active suspension that has a binocular vision option that perceives bumps on the road. The wheels are then lifted as they pass beneath. The driver and passengers enjoy a bump-ride that is almost magical.
On the Road
Keep this in mind: when the S-Class approaches a roundabout or corner, it slows down to a speed where the driver can comfortably take it. However, if there are other vehicles on the road to give way to, you must take control.
The S-Class purrs contentedly on the motorway and maintains a nice gap with the car ahead. It is a smart car because it recognizes and responds to street signs. It is however not self-driving. It is simply the perfect car for long distance driving. It is very driver-friendly.
Running Costs
A car this size and built for luxury is not cheap to run. However, it is worth every buck you spend on it. The price ranges from £73,000 for an SWB S350 and there is an additional £3,000 for the LWB. The S500 will cost you approximately £85,000. These ones are LBW only.
Conclusion
The S-Class is the current favorite among luxury rides and stirs envy among its competitors. The update is even more beguiling as it has added on technology, style, and comfort. The S-Class is the vehicle many drivers with the money to spend will opt for especially for long distance cruises.
