I have more respect for Mercedes after seeing what BMW did to the new 7-Series.
Every generation of S-Class still feels like a pure class.
Exactly I really thought bmw wouldn’t mess up the front of the 7 since it’s the most luxurious car in the lineup but their designer still wants that polarizing design thing
@@Rio-GE-V I beg to differ, despite the questionable exterior of the new 7, the interior of the new 7 is without a doubt the best expression of modern luxury I've seen in a luxury car. Best in the class by a mile. Shame about the exterior thoigh
BMW's design chief must have gone to the same design school as Toyota's design chief. They're competing for ugliest cars on the planet.
@@MonsieurGuyyou must have only looked in that 1 luxury 7 series bmw 😂😂😂 you can blame it on the drugs and alcohol, I understand
Confirmed. BMW is on life support. This flagship is how it’s supposed to be done.
BMW outsold Mercedes once again...This is the same interior as the ugly 4 cylinder c class lol
I think I prefer the old S class interior tbh. I like the screen set up in the old one better
i also prefer the old exterior. I love a boxy big sedan. this one is too smoothed out.
The new user interface is a downgrade. This version is generally better than the prior model. It will cause accelerated depreciation of the prior model. The straight 6 makes a lot of sense, good power, very smooth, better mileage.
$100K+ and there's an iPad instrument gauge that looks like an afterthought. Know they're trying to compete with Tesla but that set-up just looks wrong for a MB.
That interior colour really pops, good enough interior overall, but I can’t really gel with the way the headrest cushions look, they contrast too much with the rest of the seats, though I’m sure they’re comfy they don’t quite look like they’re an original part of the seat, makes them look like aftermarket additions. 🤷🏻♂️ silly nitpick though.
I just got my E450 and I have to admit that with the few little differences I prefer the way it’s done in the E class.
I agree. Hopefully you got the 450 without the air suspension or else get ready for the repair bills.
FYI: there are cup holders in the rear. That first little part that pops out is a pen holder (one of MB’s “Easter eggs”). If you gently push on the pen holder while open, the cup holders will come out.
Edit: I spoke too soon before watching the rest. He figured it out lol
This S-class just shows the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz engineering and technology, and it's absolutely fantastic. Even the entry level S-class is nothing to scoff at, and typical German perfection~~
It was my first ever OMFG moment when it comes to vehicles when he opened that door to reveal interior. I literally never experienced it. We've seen all kinds of bentleys and RR and lexuses etc and I never had goosebumps and visual orgasm before after looking at car 😅😅
The trunk space is gobbled up by the rear wheels having the ability to turn. They needed to take space from the trunk to allow that to happen.
I know the giant screens are the future but I like my 2019 S-Class interior better, I usually upgrade to the new model but this one needs to grow on me.
If im getting an s class, i want a v8 under that hood period.
At the price of fuel, I'd rather have the fuel economy. But to be honest, I'd be buying the EQS. Gas stations can suck a dick.
Amen, having a luxury car with a smaller engine defeats the purpose. Having instant torque and power when you need it is an luxury in itself. Not to mention the naturally much smoother nature of the engine (6 cylinder vs 8 cylinder)
4.6 seconds for an S-Class is actually nuts, considering that this won't be driven in a drag race :O That is properly fast.
17:53 This kind of carbon fiber silver aluminium weave texture combination is, indeed, beautiful
Great Review!!!! I love It When You Really Enjoy The Vehicle Your Reviewing It Shows
Mercedes always out does themselves and keeps it simple and classy!! 👌🏾
Such a beautiful vehicle! However, I think it would be nice if Mercedes put a hood over the gauge cluster and replaced the piano black with matte wood. Still, though, a beautiful vehicle.
I love the S-Class and that's why the shiny black plastic bothers me so much. It just doesn't fit at all in an S-Class and destroys the entire interior.
I have the E-active suspension on my GLS 580, it is worth every penny. It makes and an enormous SUV dance like a ballerina.
Best looking sedan you can purchase. Superb review!
Man this car is gorgeous, I’m a Lexus fan but the e class and s class have beautiful interiors
I don’t like the wall of screens, I like this more traditional new dual screens.
You know who's gonna love this....... Fleet sales. This is the ultimate rental s class
Absolutely beautiful car. Great review Sofan. You're awesome at what you do.
Would be so mad to have a passenger kick/scuff that door panel with the soft leather...
The fact that there’s an “entry-level” S-Class & it starts at its 90-100k starting price is baffling to me
Just wait a few years and few more miles. Buy it then resale it. Keep the maintenance tight and get the v6 for better fuel efficiency.
After seeing the new 7/i7 this thing is really a masterpiece
@@qweiceephelix3721 bruh it’s hideous, even the EQS looks better in my opinion
@@Carfan678 that 7 series is pure fail on the exterior but I’ll give the interior excellent the exterior of the 7 series looks like BMW have been having unprotected sex with boss a juke and Hyundai Kona the 7 series is the unwanted baby 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your reviews have gotten better, and I like your content. thanks !! good job !....... I have a 2021 E53 wagon, the only thing I dont like is the run flat tires hit bumps HARD, with a big BANG... I hate that part.. they could have done better.
That's nice, here in Canada, the 2022 S 500 4Matic is a SWB version.
Time stamps would be cool, Sofian...
Nah they suck and are annoying when I want to skip parts of the video
Omg love your laser glasses 😍😎, and yes, the S Class is the luxury benchmark 😍😍🥳
It's crazy thst the car starts at 111K😳. But that red interior is fire.
Mercedes is being heavily scatty with cheap piano black trim everywhere...literally everywhere. It's all over the doors and steering wheel. Dash and steering wheel is dominated by cheap plastic. The centre console is literally only cheap plastic and thanks to the screen which is a hideous trend that needs to stop...its even worse. The back doors too. This isn't "luxury".
Thats squeaky scratchy cheap plastic with fingerprints on it.
As much as I hate the 7 series exterior being a downgrade from previous gen. The interior is better
They should have used this design for the EQS. Side by side the S Class still reigns supreme. EQS does not look like a Benz, it looks like a Japanese/Korean luxury car.
Wow. When you opened the drivers door..🤤
Terrific job with these german car reviews 😎
The interior of the new 7 seems a level up compared to the S Class
True. BMW killed the interior. Now the Benz screen is started to look dated.
@@yes8032 I disagree. Mercedes should’ve put the EQS interior on the S Class. The position of the infotainment screen is what makes it look dated.
Can't even imagine the future electrical failures. I would lease it and that piano black plastic is plain stupid
Best interior in the segment!🔥🔥
Love this car, great video!
That interior looks like the VIP booth at an Eastern European nightclub.
Really hope Mercedes is putting grade A wiring in these vehicles, because I'd hate later down the road, you cant open your vents because some electrical stuff.
This is not a W223. It is a V223. W stands for the short wheelbase version, which is not available in the US.
Money pits
Seen a Few things on the new Genesis G90 coming out. I gotta say since you showing the V6 of this I have changed my mind now and if i was into cars like this id get this. To each there own but I dont see how the G90 is even touchin this. Benz aint worried.
G90 holds it's own for a cheaper price. All doors have electric power closing, incredible full leather interior, massage seats all around, even anti bacterial interior features in the leather and rear seat. The LWB is incredible. S Class is still my King in the segment but that G90 is incredible
In China, we'll receive the super entry level S-Class with 2.0 litre Turbocharged engine, at a more stupid high price than the tester in this review.
Turbocharged, supercharged, ICE & electric. What could go wrong?
@@joebrito2066 First of all, there is no conventional V8. The V8 uses essentially the same 48V mild hybrid system. Its been around for 4 years in the Mercedes 53 models. It has been very reliable.
They do offer sequential turn signals in other market, but not in US. If they want to make it sequential, Mercedes will likely change the brake light to brake-share or red turn signals. Mercedes are so proud of their Digital Skyline design they simply don't want to ruin it.
Who gives a damn about sequential turn signals? Not me. They were cool on the '64 T-bird, but everyone since then is just copying Ford.
Love those rims.
Bro. ..
There are rear seat cupholders in your test car.
Just double click on the phone holder in the rear arm wrest. 👍🏼
I have one 🚘
Sofyan, I really like your 2022 S500 tester equipped just like this one in terms of color in/out and all upgrades. Does Mercedes eventually sell their pool cars/testers like this one? How would I find out about this and be able to bid on it? I own a 2017 S550, same ext color, AMG pkg, with ABC (Magic Body Control in Mercedes speak), and I love the flat cornering also. Of course I have had to replace the ABC pump twice under warranty 🤨☹️ and am now out of warranty. I appreciate your response if possible. Thanks.
Technically it’s a V223. W223 is the short wheelbase version.
MERCEDES THE MOST COMFORTABLE RIDE YOULL EVER HAVE AND LUXURIOUS 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Sofyan, I really like the new S500 equipped just like your tester. I currently own an S550 w/76K mi and also have ABC (Magic Body Control in MB speak) and love the flat cornering. Of course I have also replaced the ABC pump twice under warranty 🤨☹️. Now I am out of extended MB warranty and looking to buy a new vehicle. Does Mercedes sell their pool cars/testers like this one at a certain point? How would I find out and bid on it? Thanks for your response.
Woah, that trunk is tiny for such a large car. 12ft is like nothing. The Chevy Malibu has about 16ft.
Great video
King of sedan !!!
I guess that is the airport rental model ...
I’m just not sure who it’s for. I’m a new 7-Series owner, and the price difference between a 6 or 8 cylinder is… not a thing I think about. If you’re shopping for a car in this price range, and $12,000 makes a difference in your life, please don’t buy this car.
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 year ago, I buy 22' Mercedes S580 sedan.
You could buy this and have no money left over or you wait a few more months and buy a new genesis G90 and have some money left over and you get a better warranty with a G90 but I love the red interior in this S500 something the genesis will most likely not have
This gen drives more agile for sure, still smooth but nothing against the previous gen
the infotainment reminds me of Toyota Avalon!
The touch sensitive button under the far left air vent closes the door.
Im over here saying " WHO TF buys a car and hires a driver to go along w/ it... Like some Ken doll driver accessory?"
This S class only has minimal changes it’s not like when you see it on the road you do a double take
It does have cup holders in the rear where you said the phone might go there’s a trick to open it you have pull and pull up
When is the new c class review coming?
S-class my favorite Mercedes
Got what a beautiful looking car
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
Redlinereviews can you do a video on a Bentley continental gt speed convertible
It is faster than an EQS 450 and has a nicer back seat but I'd still buy the EQS over it any day. Not to argue about looks but I really don't like the S class styling, particularly the rear. The EQS looks like the car of the future, the Sclass looks like the aging, old, fat boxer that is out on the canvas for its very last round. Because it is.
Still looks better than the new revealed 7 series
38 minutes??? Love your reviews - but I need 15 minutes or below - MAX!
as soon as they get rid of that stupid tv screen in the front, I'll consider one. Those those things are just accidents waiting to happen.
The seat control buttons would brake all the time
FFS when will you read my comments on every video explaining that if you adjust your shutter speed LEDs will stop flickering annoyingly in every single video. Also when will tech writers stop writing screen sizes by diagonal inches in cars? As you can see these are both 12 inch screens and look completely different. USE SQUARE INCHES!!!
For some reason I believe Mercedes changed the screen layout cause hyundai/kia started doing same thing.
What colour is this car - is it the graphite grey?
Can I have that in white color with yellow interior (if possible) and I am done. I swear! BTW still love the old boxy looks like in the 70’s. 🙂
Cool
Turbo Charged/Super Charged/Problems Charged Engine...
I'd rather have the V8
The 4 liter v8 has the same 48v system. I have it on my GLS, its excellent in both the 6 or 8.
@@Wised1000 the 48v isn't the ish. Having a turbo charger and super charger on one engine at the same time is recipe for disaster...
@@jeromerusselldemusicologist
It may sound complicated and overengineered, but it works just fine. This engine has been around for 4 years and its reliability has been excellent. The times of burnt turbos and exploding superchargers was a loooong time ago. Its smooth as butter, powerful and efficient.
Computer monitor is lame.
Remember everyone was bitching and moaning about the all of the displays in the S class interior? But now that 7 series is bringing a damn 30-38 inch rear display and displays in the door handles, " 7 series is the BENCHMARK, It's interior is the A BESTTTTT, the displays 😍😍😍" y'all are some hypocrites
The 7 series is ugly and the stupid tv at the back is pretty much useless. S class will remain the benchmark in this segment
Wow they are going backwards to S500 lol
$9,999.99 is the only 6 figure car I can afford
Wait, I just bought a super turbo charged with a sprinkle of electric power vehicle wowww
My friends mom has the S550, very nice ride and sexy
And how is this compare w/ the EQS head to head? Ride, comfort, tech... TELL USSSSS!!! hehe
Ive driven both, the EQS is a better drive despite being slower. Interestingly the 450+ is slower than the s500 but the EQS 580 is faster than the S580.
That shit fire 🔥
Mercedes benchmarks the S class to Bentley and Rolls Royce not the other way around and Mercedes doesn’t even come close to the luxury of Bentley’s and Rolls Royce
So, It's the E53 for me then since, well I don't really need/want the limo length look.
S class theee best class
I bought this in my dream
It's a pen holder and if you press it again its cup holders
Just saw new BMW 7 series, Boss at Mercedes Benz is laughing, hahaha 😝 that front is so sxxt.
Happy Friday everyone! The S500 may be the entry-level version of the new S-Class, but there is nothing basic about this car. It offers plenty of power and surprisingly good fuel efficiency, that it may start making you question the need for a V8. Expect an AMG version to be revealed later this year.
Hi I’m pretty sure you never read your comments but you should know what you’re calling carbon fiber is actually black & silver banded stainless steel. It’s right on the website. Additionally there is no black plastic console. Its Black lacquer over wood. Also on the website
Sure there is something basic ....its basically full of Piano black plastic ..... it's a disgrace
@@Eric_In_SF It's black plastic
Could you compare the s-class with the gls?
