When the W221 was launched in India, I had read in one auto magazine that with the amount of technology the car comes, it makes a space shuttle look like a Diwali rocket. I remember this whenever a new S is launched.
This is an excellent review. I have had my for 3 weeks and agree with everything you commented on. The main thing I find annoying is the center vents are chrome and cause a glare/reflection on the front windshield.
May Mercedes-Benz invent a non-reflective inner windshield glass? That comment of the vents reflecting on the windshield is mentioned by everybody everywhere. I wonder what Mercedes will do about it in future versions, assuming they are now aware of it.
I’m glad I found your channel. I have the 2023 s580 with amg package. Great luxurious car! However, I still switch back and fourth with my Tesla. Something about the torque on the Tesla…
And as a matter a fact, some customers I know tell me that Mercedes quality in general have really gone down hill with their cost cutting with the interior quality but still manage to nickel and dime you for servicing your luxury vehicle since it has to be their way or hit the highway…
3:53 is exactly my beef with Mercedes right now. Before you could easily distinguish oh now only is that a Mercedes it’s a S class or a CL etc. now they all look exactly the same there’s just a subtle different in a body line here or there and the head lights. Is that a $35k c class? Oh now it’s a $150k s class. I hate that.
Sorry, but, Old School method: This is a twin-turbo S400. Yes, I'm old school and was a test driver in Stuttgart at Mercedes when an S500 had 5 liters of displacement and an S600 head 6 L of displacement--- none of this modern, hokey BS labeling.
I work at a local Mercedes Dealer as a Service Valet, and I had one customer with a 2023 S580 (not even 4,000 miles on it, he brought it brand new as a custom build order) come to the service department 10 different times in the last 2 months to drop it off for electrical issues, safety features malfunctioning, even had the check engine light on (it’s literally brand new!), and he said, even though it’s such a beautiful car, this is one of the worst brand new cars he has ever purchased, mind you he has owned a few Mercedes vehicles in the past and this S580 was $130K for a car with cheap materials and issues. Im sorry but I don’t even think this car would last 50,000 miles… maybe you’d be lucky if it hits 100K miles🤷♂️
Purchased this car in the executive edition and hated it. Sold it in six months for half, no one wants it. Just buy anything but this car, total rip off worth not more than 100 thousand!
Mercedes interior is one of the best, but their depreciation and reliability is the worst. My brother got this car when it first came out, and it had a lot of electrical issues. Few months later it got Lemoned.
Pls tell more, i am about to buy this. Why didnt you like? I bought last week bmw i7 i didnt like it because its size, regenaration etc. I ll sell it and buy s580. Pls tell more
@@Selimabcde Was totally unexpressed with the S 580. The technology is just not what it should be. The car is way overpriced, try $100 for the executive edition which is currently priced at $169. Sold it at a loss of 70 thousand because I hated so much.
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Name a better luxury sedan than the S class under 200k
S class is king And class leader .🛡️❤🛡️. No one of its rivals can come close .

True Elegance is having Power and showing Restraint ❤
Mercedes benz s class is the class leader and simply unbeatable .🛡️❤🛡️❤

Ahh interesting, thanks for the owners perspective!

This UA-cam channel is the bench mark for what a car journalist should be
my mannnnssssss😎🙏

Great review, thank you.
Definitely a beauty! Any interior rattles while driving over those bumps?
none
@@dwnshftI can second that none
Great review as always, but I am still not fan new MB interiors... call me a traditionalist
I love "the uncivilized world throws at you." So true about the car.
Very good review... subscribed
I've driven the Ghost and Phantom long-distance and said both times "I still prefer the S"
And as a matter a fact, some customers I know tell me that Mercedes quality in general have really gone down hill with their cost cutting with the interior quality but still manage to nickel and dime you for servicing your luxury vehicle since it has to be their way or hit the highway…
Dope vid bro. My dream car 4 sure
It would be cool if you can start it after scanning the finger print, no key
That was beautiful 😂❤
Your right nice Review and Car 😎👍😎👍😎
Yes is best of the best ❤❤❤
The S class is what the 3 series is to BMW
Yes. You understand correctly what a Mercedes-Benz S-Class is all about. 👍🏻
🙏

yeah totally agree
Why they dont build a fully electric like this, not like the eqs model
Always admired the S Class....
same
Exterior and interior color plz
Should have cleaned the wheels and shined them up with foam
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! S-Class or 7-Series?
S-Class king👑

Don’t like instrument cluster looks like a iPad
Great car but depreciation is brutal!
Depreciation is good for the poors like myself 😂👌
I don't like the big ass screen that looks like a tablet.... I prefer the older clean dashes honsetly.
Totally get that. Totally fair 💯
They need to just release the s65 AMG 2023 The s model shouldn't even exist in a German car! They just ripping us off y'all
