What a beautiful animal.
Luxury automakers are more and more, filling flagship vehicles with great strength, high -end tech features and many tricks.
Mercedes Benz S. Class
This is not different, the latest generation is still the most extravagant and developed. But I will let you go into a secret: Base S500 is the place where.

S500 distributes its turbo charged, light hybrid 3.0 liter inline skis with several other Mercedes products. The S500 contains 429 horsepower and 384 pounds of torque with 48 volt Integrated Starter/Generator system, which includes additional promotion of 21 HP and 184 LB.-FT. It’s 67 HP and 132 LB.-FT. Less than The V8 -powered S580, but the S500 feels very quickly, which kills 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds (slowly in 0.4 seconds to S580). Inline line is six ultra smooth and it looks great, and nine speeds are automatic smooth. S500 is also effective. I have no problem meeting the EPA’s 30 MPG highway rating and I’m doing something better than 21 MPG City data. Like the S580, the 4matic all -wheel drive of Mercedes is also standard.
4,600 Plus pounds S500 have precise, satisfactory steering and handling properties, though there is a good amount of physical roll.

You can get the Mercedes Road Scanning E -Acto Body Control System, 6,500, and when it is mega -impressive, it is not honestly necessary. My test car has a 4.5 degree Rear Wheel Steering, which is a 3,300 option, which is very helpful in making the 17 -foot -long seedan around the city. Sadly, the S500 is not even available with the Crazyier 10 degree setup, which is offered at S580 and EQS, but 4.5 degree steering is still an honor.
More luxury cars should be green.
The only style differences between S500 and S580 are badges. It is a combination of S500, 4,300 AMG line styling package, emerald green metal paint and silver multi -pok wheels, and I appreciate that it has found a standard chrome trim instead of shiny black parts that will bring $ 400 night package. This is not a great design revolution compared to the S500 old S class, or electric EQ, but even despite the big intake of the AMG line, it is Palki beautiful and excellent. Popout door handles and complex LED tail lights are my favorite design touch.
In my S500, the seat and door panels have a beautiful chest brown napa leather with diamond sample stitch, which is a $ 2,290 option that looks like the best pair of $ 1,300 with piano-black trim. Thanks for eliminating double pan glass and a lot of sound, the S class is also silent. His tech forward interior is far away for some people, but I am a huge fan. Certainly, the touch screen and shiny surfaces will be covered in fingerprints, but keep a cleaning cloth in the glove box. Most metal touch points in S class end up like seats control and steering wheel poles, and nothing seems cheaper. Mercedes’ dynamic multi -color is also the most impressive in lighting biz, especially in super -color nightclub -like methods.
I like S -Class Tech cabins.
My test car has a standard Burmestr 3D -sleeved system terrific, but S500 Mercedes is available with 6,730 30 Speaker Burmestor 4D setup, which includes all of the seats integrated. Another mandatory option in my eyes-, 000 3,000 3D technology package provides you with a facial recognition tech, a cool 3D gauge cluster and incredible realistic headup display, which is still one of my favorite pieces of tech available in any car today. It also improves the MBUX navigation system of Mercedes, and it contains graphics that make Mind’s mind -blowing work with the help of a driver, such as presenting bright bodies for cars.
There is an aspect of S500 that can be seriously less than the S580, and it is a back -set. Passengers of the rear seats have tin heads and league rooms and strengths, and an optional 8 3,800 warm and comfortable package adds heating and ventilation to the rear seats. But the special executive line for S580 is the trim level, which provides back -set riders with almost May Mebach experience. The package includes four zone climate control, rear seats with a powered photist for the right set, a tablet in the folded down center armistance, a tablet, more interstitial lighting, a wireless charging pad and additional airbags.
The $ 1,050 destination starts at 111,100, including the destination charging, and my well -known example comes at 7 127.330. The S580 is only more than 7,650 to start, but a fully loaded version is easily prone, 000 150,000. Unless you want to intensify the V8 engines or are regularly provoking fancy people around your S class (or staring yourself), saving your money and buy a beautiful S500 instead.
