The only thing better than the Mercedes S class is the Mercedes EQS. Just as luxurious but with an electric powertrain it is even smoother and quieter.
It’s a nice car, but it’s insistence on technology especially on the interior is disappointing. Luxury should be about simplicity. Mercedes didn’t get the memo. The previous car had a finer interior in that regards. It’s a nice car - I like it. I just don’t understand this conflation between luxury and technology.
Awesome vehicle. The "wrong" direction Mercedes took is that massive centre console screen. It just do not fit in with this class of vehicle. Otherwise, as good as it gets with royalty transport on wheels.
Lol why tho, It would be pretty weird and awkward to drive like that i would think. It might be safer tho for head on collision with traffic coming the opposite way?
W223 Mercedes Benz S-Class! the world best car again?!... cant wait for its launch in my country here @ Malaysia... currently we had the W222 S63L V8 Bi-Turbo 4-Matic AMG... so we are looking forward for the same variant in the W223 too
Nice looking car Typical Mercedes really full of tech comfort sleek design great video I’m sure the self parking feature will benefit a lot of people 😂
Absolutely fugly interior and too much touch screen. Also not sure about flush handles in winter environments: Tesla is the best example. However, this doesnt matter. People will still buy it in the bucket loads as its an S class.
I thought the same thing. I'm surprised he said that because it's misleading. At that time the S-class was a much older vehicle than the new Audi A8. Audi was the one catching up to Mercedes
@@ridge9246 I completely agree with you. Plus the previous generation S class looks fabulous compared to the A8. personally I feel the A8 looks like a longer A6
Well...his opinion has a leg up because he actually experienced both cars in person, rather than looking at them from afar and claiming which one is the best based on just styling. That would be very silly. I have no idea if the "losing the crown" happened on this channel or elsewhere, but it is all subjective either way. Actually experience these cars yourself, then come to your subjective conclusion.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII it would be catastrophic to assume that none of us have not experienced said cars first hand. Just wanted to point that out. Have a nice day.
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII I own the previous generation S class and I have driven the A8 too. So I am pretty well versed with two cars. It's safe to say that the S class is unparalleled in comfort and class
I bought one of these to use as an Uber Lux in London. If you're prepared to put in 10 hours a day (with breaks) then £600 a day is easy. You can do the maths.
As a right-handed person, I think it would be very awkward to operate screen functions with my left hand. Thank God this car isn’t manual transmission as well! I’d have to someone else drive.😛
The 7 Series and A8 aren't a patch on the S Class. Think the reviewer is biased towards the A8. This is the first channel I have heard put the A8 ahead of an S Class.
Quite dashing from the outside, especially in this elegant shade. But when you cut to the interior, it's complete trailer trash. What a cheap and plasticky looking vulgarity.
YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG!THE MERCEDES S CLASS SINCE 45 YEARS IS THE BEST SELLING PREMIUM SEDAN WITH AT LEAST 55% OF THE MARKET SHARE FAR AWAY FROM ALL IT'S COMPETITORS (A8/bmw 7/Ls460..CaC6) THE AUDI A 8 IS NOT SELLING AS GOOD AS THE bmw 7..
Wrong bro. Mercedes never lost its crown 👑 to the Audi A8 not when the S-class sold over 80,000 over 48,000 in the maybach trim, as when compared to the A8 1800 copies in the U.S. alone. And you are way to fussy in the end the the one raking in the most sales is the winner and I won't have it any other way.
WHAT about the quality of the materials and the feel and fitment of the interior panels and stalks etc?? Hard plastics again? exterior design is rather bland to say the least, bonnet shut-line is not pleasing, as well as that front fender panel. You can not un-see it once you see it.. the gap line that starts right behind the headlamp...(cost cut) it looks very Toyota Yaris. would have looked so much more classy incase that line was in from of the wheel.. Overall. a lack-lustre design in comparison to the previous S. The interior tech is dope though.
I wanted to buy one. It is not necessarily ugly but S class clearly lost its charm. On the street, it doesn’t make me turn my head at all, something that is still happening with the old model. The exterior is utterly unimpressive. I can relate to the handles as an evolution but lights, dimensions, overall appearance is bland to deathhh. Sorry Mercedes, but this time you screw this up big time (
He hates so much on the s class but does it in a slick way lol a few years back I watched his s class vs 7 series and a8 and he said the s class lost its crown to a8 smdh how when s class out sells ls 7 series and a8 combined?????
What German car ? I thought the German don't want to trade with the uk don't buy !! Buy British Korean Japanese American at lease they treat the uk as friends not enemy!
“Previous generation lost its crown as the best luxury limo to Audi A8.” When did that happen?😂 I’ve never heard anyone say that before! According to sales, reviews and heritage, that never happened. DISLIKE!
The interior central screen Tesla copy is a big let down. W221 was the best interior. I do not want to be bombarded with information and digital nonsense from screens in a S class. Analog classy design like Flying Spur is what S class needs.
“previous generation lost its crown as the best luxury limo to Audi a8" seriously? i personally think w222 was the best S-class since w140.
Yeah the A8 comment was bizarre. I don't think anyone would say teh A8 was better apart from WhatCar?.
This guy is absolutely whacked.
I totally agree with you
Better suspension system in the Audi
The a8 was quieter and had a better ride quality. That is what matters.
Not gonna lie I hated the design when it was first reveled but I love it now
The previous S Class didn't lose it's crown to any other car-even this new one....
Agree! There is the Merc and then all the others (wannabe's)!
Previously lost its crown to the A8? U wot?!
This is my dream car, i will work hard to afford this one day.
Love your enthusiasm
I just love Mercedes-Benz end of story
No its not the end of the story yet. But i agree Mercedes Benz vehicle's are nice.
Ahh shame, i was really looking forward to that airbags test.😅
I like that it does self parking using lines alone as well. It doesn't require a space between 2 cars.
I do like the dashboard and steering wheel in the previous model a little more, but this is nice.
I love how calm he is in his speech, nice review mate
Far, far more important than the aesthetics are the revolutionary rear frontal airbags! Will save thousands of lives!
The only thing better than the Mercedes S class is the Mercedes EQS. Just as luxurious but with an electric powertrain it is even smoother and quieter.
Totally agree. There’s just too much nvh w ICE which completely spoils the experience.
Great review! Beautiful images. Cool reviewer, cool car 👍🏽
Despite the economic crisis it's still a good time to invest in Gold and Crypto.
Investing in Crypto now is very cool now especially with the current rise in the market now .
Stock are good but crypto is better
I wanted to trade Crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Expert Anthony Brian
I heard his strategies are really good
So much to love about this car, the tail lights, the door handles, seats, steering wheel, ambience lights, and seats.
Superb review as usual
This car is beautiful, but i couldn't afford it, but i wouldn't mind buying the previous model second hand with low klms.
That's a right decision
Best luxury car on sale. Period.
I love that only the longer version with the bigger engine and no diesel will be able to be available in the states.
People say don't waste your money on vehicles, but what a good way to waste money if a person can afford it.
It’s a nice car, but it’s insistence on technology especially on the interior is disappointing. Luxury should be about simplicity. Mercedes didn’t get the memo. The previous car had a finer interior in that regards. It’s a nice car - I like it. I just don’t understand this conflation between luxury and technology.
Agreed. Just get a Rolls Royce Ghost
Anyone for a morris minor.🤪
Awesome vehicle. The "wrong" direction Mercedes took is that massive centre console screen. It just do not fit in with this class of vehicle. Otherwise, as good as it gets with royalty transport on wheels.
Those wheels and colour match so much! Such a great design and your reviews are great! Definitely deserves more audience!
Colour's great,the wheels are nice. But having one of these in diesel is breaking a spell. You shouldn't do it.
You gotta appreciate the tech in here...it's absolutely crazy but maybe a bit too much esp with too much touch controls instead of buttons..
Lost its crown to Audi A8?!
First time hearing of this.
Maybe in UK
Good review.. but when was A8 crowned as best car title??
True it never was
I would love that package with the steering wheel on the right side in the US.
Lol why tho, It would be pretty weird and awkward to drive like that i would think. It might be safer tho for head on collision with traffic coming the opposite way?

Very very good Car. Fantastic.
Haha Mercedes lost its crown to Audi?!? That is laughable. Audi A8 isn’t even a third of the car the S class is.
Nice looking car Typical Mercedes really full of tech comfort sleek design great video I’m sure the self parking feature will benefit a lot of people 😂
Is it true that in the UK it doesn't have rear wheel steering?
mercedes always lead the design among germen competitors and it never fails to impress
The best good looking S Class as always
Just here for Doug
Yes! Doug is likeable and is on-point with his reviews
Absolutely fugly interior and too much touch screen. Also not sure about flush handles in winter environments: Tesla is the best example. However, this doesnt matter. People will still buy it in the bucket loads as its an S class.
I disagree the predecessor never lost its crown to the A8, it was always the pinnacle of luxury

that back end looks like kia....
Previous version had better front looks
And rear
@@dipalpatel5498 and interior can't judge until I test drive the new one

Nice car
Beautiful car indeed; however it ain’t that luxurious as previous model I am afraid
U r absolutely correct
Mercedes-Benz 🤩 The best or nothing!
It looks like an E class just stretched....
The 7 Series and A8 aren't a patch on the S Class. Think the reviewer is biased towards the A8. This is the first channel I have heard put the A8 ahead of an S Class.
At which point did he say that??
@@MrModikoe 30 seconds in
lol well true...the current A8 dethroned the S Class..it's not him, it was voted so🤣
That's my Head Gardener's house. I'm firing and evicting him tomorrow. :(
Quite dashing from the outside, especially in this elegant shade. But when you cut to the interior, it's complete trailer trash. What a cheap and plasticky looking vulgarity.
What happens if someone walks behind your car while you are trying to park it?
It stops.
That interior is just hideous.
What an earth happened Mercedes?
Have you seen it in person
You are joking of course or you obviously have not seen it !
Nayyyy... i'll stick with Bentley Flying Spur 2018 (Second Gen)
YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG!THE MERCEDES S CLASS SINCE 45 YEARS IS THE BEST SELLING PREMIUM SEDAN WITH AT LEAST 55% OF THE MARKET SHARE FAR AWAY FROM ALL IT'S COMPETITORS (A8/bmw 7/Ls460..CaC6)
THE AUDI A 8 IS NOT SELLING AS GOOD AS THE bmw 7..
to me its getting you used to what's to come., a lot of plastic when the electric arrives .,not liking the new look
The hell at those stupid seat buttons?!
Get the car to set up your profile by Phone "before" you get in the car to use your fingerprint!!??
A Benz is a benz is a benz 👍
And a Benz.
@whatcar lost his crown to whom?. In terms of what? Sales, design or what?
I can only think in terms of tech.
Wrong bro. Mercedes never lost its crown 👑 to the Audi A8 not when the S-class sold over 80,000 over 48,000 in the maybach trim, as when compared to the A8 1800 copies in the U.S. alone.

I'm so glad the car doesn't look like a transformer!
Now, it looks like a real luxury car, again.
The giant LED screen SUCKS!!!!
The W140 was the last great S-Class prove me wrong.
Foarte frumos
Amen😇
Who like me doesn't like the grill at all?
Just imagine how many things cld go fail.............. just out of warranty!!!
Dashboard looks cartoonist

But it’s not very quite! Mmmm. Thought it was to be the ultimate.
I Drive better that MBUX? Don’t think so

Cars aren’t for car people anymore
Lost it's crown to who? Definitely not an A8 lol
Mercedes w140 still the best S Class. In any ways you want.
I own one of these and your so way off about your negative points. Your obviously a BMW fanboy.
Looks like a Vauxhall Insignia from the front to me.
this is jellybean design at its finest. total turn off.
No, come on... Its terrible!

Get rid of the Leather...... who needs it
