There's a lot of tech in this car but the head-up display is something else. A great review Sarah!
3:15 - Those dimples serve the same purpose under the car that they serve on the golf ball. They create a boundary layer of air around the surface, allowing for smoother airflow around that boundary layer. On the golf ball, that gives the ball greater aerodynamic efficiency to allow the ball to travel farther. On the underside of the car, it will allow the car to experience less drag due to the way that air is made to flow underneath it. The Ferrari F12 has air channels that run from the grille to the center of the hood, and from the upper-outer sections of the hood to the sides of the car just below the A pillars. Those channels help to create a similar aerodynamic boundary effect on the top & sides of the car.
Mythbusters did an episode where they clad an entire car with dimpling to see if it improved the car's aerodynamics.
Didn't Bugatti add some of those on the roof of the Divo, or one of their other one-off or limited builds?
The new WRX actually has that texturing on the ugly wheel arches.
I remember a mithbusters show and they did this in clay on top of the car. Very interesting.
@@jaydub5515 the Bugatti Bolide features it
Jeremy Clarkson ounce said, “If you want to know what will be in every car in ten years, look at this year’s S class”
Love the sparky things when you tap the chassis.
I know I can't afford a MB, but seriously appreciate the crazy engineering.
Absolutely love your way of describing a beautiful machine such as this.
Ruffles at the bottom of your pants are neat and unusual.
Did I just witness only fans content when the deep waves kicked on?
The unedited version of that segment could be an only fans video lol
The dimples act exactly like the surface of a golf ball for aerodynamics it actually smooths out the boundary layer air flow for sound reduction.
I agree 100%, I was going to make the same comment
Ya they are great on a curved surface, like vortex generators. Not sure how much of an improvement it is on a flat service. I bet they did the math though.
But will it improve my driving distance, pun intended 😉
You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing.
The Mythbusters made an episode on this making dimples on a car out of clay.
OMG... Outstandingly subtle eyebrow raises... Visual ASMR!
Top quality content Sarah! Nicely done as always!
Proper shop attire???
✔
Sultry look from a seat?!?!?!!
Not my cup of tea but.. happy wife happy life ..right??!?!
I've been working at an independent MBZ shop for 25 years. This is the kind of POS that will finally make me move on to something else in life. Recently bought a 2020 TRD Pro 4Runner because it's such a "dinosaur". I want a car to work for me...not the other way around. The mere thought of the conversations I will be forced to have with customers about these cars makes me want to retire right NOW! Thanks for the review Sarah!
"2020 TRD Pro 4Runner" Well done! Should last the rest of your life. :-)
Posts like this are so disingenuous.
"I want a Fred Flintstone car", great - go by one. The only thing that is constant is change. Modern manufacturers are forced to make cars like this due to cost and regulation.
@@gottliebdee263I don't care what car manufactures want or need. I have my own needs.
@@rachegreenrg not to mention, other than the hybrid aspect of this car, I don't think any of the features Sarah mentioned here are due to cost and regulation being pushed upon the manufacturer. Rear-steer and discotech interior lighting 🤣
Im jealous. TRD 4runner is such an awesome looking ride.
Mercedes engineering has been superlative for decades. But, as Sarah noted at a couple places in her review, service can be insanely expensive because some of the components are very difficult to access, and some require partial disassembly of other components before you can even get to them, not to mention the specialized tools needed for actual service. Finally, note that Mercedes is NEVER on anyone's list of "most reliable" vehicles. With a lot of TLC ($$), they can last a very long time, but the cost per mile can get ridiculous. No thank you, especially at this price point.
Friends don't let Friends buy German
Well, to be fair Mercedes-Benz made very reliable, durable cars up until the 90s, when leasing became the norm. Their customers don't need the cars to last as long, so they don't bother.
If you have owned or worked on any Mercedes in the last 20 years you would know that the engineering has been anything but superlative. Lots of flashy, gimmicky tech for sure, but at the expense of getting the fundamental engineering right.
I own an E Klasse and definitely a maintenance hog and I do the work myself using $300 of Mercedes specific tools for my car. LoL
There is a difference between robust and reliable, both will last, one will feel the same after 20 yrs, the other wouldnt require alot of maintenance but will feel like it had t been maintained.. So
I work on these for a living 🥰 the EQS is even more impressive.
Obviously, it's a car for very wealthy people and something that you'd only hold onto for a couple years before moving on to the next best thing. I would bet a majority of these are leased, not sold.
They are leased new usually, but then go into the CPO world.
@@LynxStarAuto What is that world?
@@harounben342 Certified Pre-Owned, where the dealer sells the nicest of the lease returns for about 30-50% off with another 4 years on the warranty. I bought a CPO 3-series a while back and it was a trouble-free experience.
Mercedes tech here. Had the opportunity to drive one of these a while ago (still havent broken down so we havent seen these in the shop yet). But all I can say is that this thing is on a level of its own. I have never in my life driven anything like it, its an experience you have to experience to understand.
One thing Sarah forgot to mention that is really cool on these is that the whole instrumentcluster is 3D, which is especially cool if you have the nagivationscreen selected, feels like looking into the screen.
Who knew cars came with magic seats that can make women feel that way. ;) Great review. Amazing tech and fast for such a big, heavy beast.
That part made me laugh 😂
You're completely on the money giving it the lowest wrench score ever. I've logged a lot of miles in high- mileage examples of MB S550s as a professional driver. The massage feature kept me from having to visit a chiropractor in 80 hour weeks behind the wheel. There is a reason why these tend to be leased, and why they lose >$100K in value by the end of a lease. They are extremely fun to drive right up until they're not. Too often they've become so mechanically crippled that to fix the components only MB has the diagnostic workstation to reflash or reset, you would be way ahead by parting it out. So they stay broken. I'd wager 95% of the black car service MB sedans are limping along with some major feature or several being broken.
4.5 degrees for handling, 10 degrees for getting into the parking spot in the mall at Nordstrom.
Classy babe in a classy car. Very Hollywood.
Golf ball pattern is for aerodynamics... Myth busters did an episode about it with successful results.
Did they use the Mercedes Benz?
A metric Sarah , you have earned , even more respect
That's a pretty cool car. I'd never watch car reviews if you didn't do them and yours are probably the only ones I'll ever watch. So thank you for bringing some cool stuff into my life :)
Honestly this channel is amazing! It’s nice to see someone talking of the mechanicals and not just talking about interiors and entertainment systems. Thanks for creating this 👍
Fantastic cars until they break down just outside of warranty by amazing coincidence... 🤔🤔🤔
Golf ball surface is for aerodynamics I believe. Golf Type R has a similar shape on its front spoiler
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦TYPE R IS A PERFORMANCE DIVISION OF HONDA A JDM MANUFACTURER AND GOLF IS MADE BY VW A EURO MANUFACTURER, IT'S JUST GOLF R BTW, IG YOU MADE THT MISTAKE ON PURPOSE FOR JOKE SAKE😂😂.
Yes, I like the discussion on the head up display also. Thank you Sarah for this review.
It will be difficult for you to give up ICE technology, but some fine electric cars are here. Please spend a week, or so, with the Merc EQS 580 and compare it to the 580 in this most excellent video. There might be enough high tech in the EQS 580 4Matic to keep you and your penguins inspired.
Thank you for keeping me inspired.
Yeah, more Sarah!!! Love her outlook on car reviews!!
d
its made for a short life, then some expensive electrical or mechanical system will write the car off because it out weighs the value of the car then it gets crushed and recycled into some boring EV. Nothing like the older mercedes of the Sacco era w126,w124,w201,c124,c126 ect
Great job Miss Sparkle fingers. Love your videos.
I must be getting old. With all that technical complexity, all I can think of is $$$ when it comes time to repair it. It's not hard to imagine that in 5-10 years it could technically be a "total loss", with not so much as a scratch on it, because the repair bill for something mechanical is more than the car is worth.
That’s some vehicle. I love the HUD which I think should be optional on many vehicles for safety. Despite your “promise” to take it easy this season, everything you’ve posted has been first-rate. Thank you and Happy New Year! 👍👍👍 ~ John
I think it should be stand on every vehicle. I have a 2005 Buick LeSabre with it and I hate driving any of my other vehicles without it.
5:00 That mic(?) mounted on the seatbelt is a great indicator to show the seatbelt being pulled tight during emergency braking =)
Lol, I dunno. I was trying something just to see in that video. My other mic works better in car.
Amazing amount of tech in this car, most of which seems to be designed to isolate the occupants from any driving sensations. Obviously, this isn't intended to be M-B's driver's car, nor is this the kind of car people would keep for many years and hundreds of thousands of miles. M-Bs in general are known to become money pits as they age, due in part to the expensive parts and all that complex engineering which requires mechanics to disassemble half the car to get at things that only require removing a few bolts on "lesser" cars.
Great review, and it's nice to see a car like this reviewed from a more "regular person" reviewer than typical for something like this.
Great car and great review to start the new year. The HUD is cool and utilitarian. Worth having.
In ye olden days, when a car manufacturer's PR department arranged for reviewers to get a happy ending during their review, it was a corruption scandal. Now it's just a high-end interior feature :-).
Garbage, within a year that thing will be littered with codes and electrical issues
Mercedes-Benz was the best or nothing now NOTHING since the mid 90s sooo sad 😥😥😥, Lexus on the other hand is better, less gadgets less problems, they hold their value a long time, not to mention bullet proof reliability, cost less too.
The golf ball dimples are for aerodynamics. There's a video of The Myth Busters that tested that theory on a cars outer body panels and it was shockingly impressive. Definitely worth watching.
Seems like this car should be driven until something wears out and then throw it away. I would give it a wrench score of -1.
nice, I still like my E500 4Matic I got for less than 4k though.
Happy New Year thanks for another review! Looking forward to a great year!
Hair New Year, best wishes, health and peace!
The dimples in golfballs are supposedly for aerodynamic purposes: the air would cling less to the ball.
The nuts or bolts in the ball joints look like Torx to me.
Glad to hear the seats were... Pleasing.
There's probably a separate cooling circuit for the e-motor.
5:00
Great example of seatbelt tensioning!
Watch her microphone attached to the seatbelt jump!
Golf ball dimples reduce aero drag
The panel dimpling: on a golf ball, it reduces overall air resistance. So I expect this application has the same purpose.
The skinny antisway bar maintains more compliance on rough roads, but seems inadequate, yes. The difference in lateral resistance to body lean is taken care of by the "E-Active Body Control" system on a constantly adjusted thousanth-of-a-second analysis basis, per the MB site.
Mercedes made a beautiful S class inside and out. I was really on the the edge of my seat for the wrench score. This is the kind of stupid bad idea car I would buy when it has depreciated 95% in ten years. But by then everything will probably be electric and who knows if this will be more or less desirable then. Great review, entertaining as always!!!
Awesome stuff Sarah, love the content ❤
Thanks!
@@SarahnTuned My pleasure!! Just a thought.... do you have an idea why Merc's depreciate so quick?? Of course compared to other high end makes..
As a new sub I appreciately your down to earth review. Great job.
Thanks!
As a car enthusiast listening to your reviews gives me the biggest joygasm in the world! Happy New Year and keep up the great work! 💖👍💰
When this car breaks down... Mechanics run away from it.
Pity Merc never gave you the S63,same engine,with the wick turned up,600+hp and torque,now that surely,would give it a 5 beans count.
Would love this car in the deep salt north where all those electronics and aluminium will be destroyed.
That was great Sarah. The interior lighting was Cool as shit. I really liked it. I would like to give it the beans and feel that twin turbo mercedes V8 pull. You put me in that thing and i will be playing Biggie and smoking 💨🌿w/ a car full of females. Feel sum kinda way.
Mehr Deutsch von fraulein Sarah, bitte!
Also, did anybody else notice that the 12V battery was nowhere under the hood. I'm guessing it's in the trunk.
Yup, under the spare.
Time travelling from 1985 with the legwarmers 😄
In future there will be plasma generators and air ionization devices on the cars to lower the coefficient of drag under 0.15 and the physical limit of aerodynamics is a coefficient of drag of 0.05 which penguins have…this is what I call a penguin score ! Real penguins are as efficient through water as through air without the ability to fly …0.05 the absolute limit of Mother Nature…if you create a ionization cloud around a vehicle and then rotate a magnetic field and create a high speed ion wind rotating around the car you can go under nature’s limit of coefficient of drag of 0.05 and near almost 0.001 then your car can really fly…and does not need wheels anymore…
Also, next level service………..for when it breaks down 🤣
What's that black piece by your left shoulder when you were doing the braking test? 🤔
Cool video thanks. The AMG MUST REALLY BE CRAZY.
Happy Sunday Sarah!!!
That thing is crazy, to be expected I guess. Love the rave lighting for night driving, of course all those torques is also pretty awesome, working on it though, eeesh, lots of expletive laden phrases for sure.
Stay excellent!!!😎
Mercedes Benz always pushing the boundaries to the highest standard on car industry.
Also pushing the boundaries on when parts break or fail. Seriously, a plastic transmission tray?? MB has quality, but has been completely lost in the reliability segment.
"Oh fuSQUEAK that. That's all kind of weird tools you need to do these." Hahaha truth.
Please , talk more German ( heavy breathing).... i am so sad
Interesting Car, I prefer the simplicity of the 1966 230 sedan we used to have.Thanks and Happy New Year Sarah 😀👍🇨🇦
They are trying to reinvent the wheel with each new S class when in truth they peaked with w220
Super nice car when new! However outside of warranty-they become endless money pits! So better to lease it then get rid of it before all the massive problems arise!
Aluminium? Proper EU/Canada speak..... I love your charisma. A breath of fresh air. Your channel is absolutely worth a subscription.
11:27 OMG! Not sure if children should be watching this? LOL A lot of innuendo adult suitableness. Still interesting and funny to watch. Awesome review, Sarah!
Are you new here? Sarah is a double entendre kind of lady.
Gorgeous,definitely 5 Penguin. Car's nice too.Cheers luv ya work, as always
Yep white lab coat. The skills needed to diag these days is wild. I feel like an engineer. The view others have on techs; need to change from blue to white collar. Was even told we prob have better diag skills that some law enforcement detectives.
nice vid - thank you. The interior is like if zee germans made a Miami club with all that neon and the vibratey seats.
My S560 has the option of displaying ft/lbs produced and an accelerometer which displays g force with a red ball moving on a 360 degree display , in the tachometer nacelle.
Another great review, Sarah. I'm glad that you brought up the complexity and cost of servicing a vehicle like this. Lots of people don't figure that into their buying decision and end up having a heart attack when they take it in for service.
That's why most people lease high end cars and dump them after a few years. Car companies still get their sales numbers, it's the 2nd or 3rd owner that's going to have a nightmare of a time maintaining them
Very interesting, informative, intelligent and sassy review. Rarely see reviews where the underside and the engineering is so closely scrutinised. Many valid and astute observations Sarah. Whoa all that plastic is scary and looks very cheap and flimsy like it won't last very long. Yeah Sarah sure will be challenging when diagnosing electrical gremlins in 20 years time! Had a friend with a 6 month old E320cdi and Mercedes could not pinpoint the fault so they ended up just replacing all the ECUs and a range of other components, crossing their fingers that they'd managed to rectify it.
Some people see a high tech dream I see a long term problem.it's a pay me now and pay me more later kind of thing.
Not really fond of Mercedes-Benz anymore
ja, dein Deutsch ist sehr gut! Sie müssen in Ihren Bewertungen mehr Deutsch sprechen! Sie müssen erklären, wie Sie sich bei den Massagesitzen fühlen! das ist sehr interessant! Hab einen verdammt guten Tag!
Not next level when it goes to shit and is junk in 4-5 years
Seat massage? Jeez Sarah, get a room.
Totally wonderful High end car 👌👍
Thank you Sarah, for showing mileage as KM, go metric!
Anytime!
That's a hot V. S680 Maybach next!
Me waiting on the day that Sarah starts teardowns like Sandy Munro does it😂 Another great job Sarah😍
AND......Lotsa cleavage.
Love the reappearance of the proud hood ornament!
It ain’t your momma’s Accord!
I would give it a .5 wrench for being able to work on it yourself. MB doesn't even want you to check your own oil.
I'd take the Lexus 1000 times over the MB. It will actually still be running in 20 years.
Sara , I have been around cars all my life . I have seen many beautiful cars all shapes all sizes , but you my dear are a knock out !
Must be carbon fiber plastique subframe in spots
It's amazing how far car technology has come. With the Augmented Reality navigation, if the car has active assist technologies like lane assist, collision prevention controls, etc, it could teach you how to drive without an instructor in the car. Amazing car.
Come on, pop off .. then into the valley of the beasts . Happy new year Sarah . Girl, you are awesome, an inspiration 💖.
NICE
C'mon Mercedes, send Sarah one of those "Deep Waves' massage seats...
It a Lease Car -- because you do not want to pay to repair it !
Next level engistyling!
Whao....10 Minutes ago
Not a BABY carrot????
Dragy???
Thanks for another awesome review
Performance... How would my 2011 Cadillac CTS-V with 556 HP and 550 lb torque stand up to the Mercedes in a dig race, roll race, 1/4 mile, and top speed? The Mercedes is awesome, but there might be some competitive pricing deals out there for high performance sedans. I know the Mercedes wins on luxury, refinement, and technology. Thanks for the video Sarah!
Never let friends buy German
I watch many of your videos and I wish I could catch up to see them all because they're awesome! I have hundreds of subscriptions so it's difficult. Anyway, you must know that you are every car guy's dream girl. You are smart, knowledgeable, fun, unique, and utterly HOT! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your content because I don't comment often. Thank you for everything... you are amazing
and this is why Mercedes are now throw away cars
Great review Sarah
4 wheel steering,I’ve only seen that tech in
Articulated Machinery.lot of tech and luxury.
Probably getting 130k worth.
Not my cup of tea.😂
😎🍺👍🇦🇺
For that much money I want a big fat Mercedes-Benz logo with integrated nighttime LED. How is it that they don't have a Mercedes-Benz logo on the grill for the first time ever (AFAIK)
It looks like a used Genesis. By the way, great review!
Sarah, Leave it to The Germans... I don't have nor ever had a German Car. When a I get a spare $125K , I might take the Plunge. I need some MAGIC to my Body... Excellent Review as always. One point I would make, I don't think anyone will be around that can work on these cars 20 years from now. You would have to enjoy it while it Lasts.
