Sorry guys. I cocked up - the gearbox in this car has 9 speeds not 7 as I said. I just can't count...that's why I had to give up being a chartered accountant. Please forgive me for being such an idiot. It won't happen again (it probably will actually).
But the larger problem is, that you did not told us how a 9-speed gearbox is to drive. Did the gears always switch up and down or are the additional gears intended for high speed driving in Germany.

@Jędrzej Górski Exactly. It's just like model 3 they introduced 2 years ahead of production just because they panicked when Chevy came out with their EV. It was to "lock in" as many of their fanatic fans as possible before they would go over to other brands. Instead of ever faster 0-60, they should hire some quality managers to improve their build quality. After so many years of model S production they STILL have a tone of quality problems that you don't even find in budget cars any longer. But they keep milking that 0-60, hence why it's called the one trick pony. If model 3 has any of those quality problems Tesla will go bankrupt. I hope they have learned from their mistakes.
I watch every episode of your channel. Please review economic brands also, for example, range of cars between 10k to 20k and so on, best second hand car buying sites etc
I would love to hear from anyone who has owned this S Class longer term and give feedback on what its like with the ‘off set’ steering. i.e. making a longer trip. Do you notice the steering set up? Do you have bad side effects like neck ache etc? Or nothing at all. Other than the steering this looks like getting closer to the perfect car ever build, if you want total comfort and refinement!
2018 “Head to Head:” Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8, BMW 7-Series... that would be amazing! Especially because of how Audi (A8 in general) is becoming much more advanced in technology!
Hi Mat, nice video :) If I am not mistaken the other large change in the interior of the facelifted S Class is that the two screens on the dashboard are now one unit like in the E Class.

Matt would you please make a review on 1995 Mercedes S-class and tell us how it feels being in such a car after all these modern cars you’ve been in! I can imagine you reviewing it in a great was as usual !
Got one while my Jaguar XF is being repaired. Wow, wow, wow. Don't want my XF back. This car is incredible and I want one, forget the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8, Mercedes is the way to go.
they discontinued the grey interior... it is quite strange, that colour has been an option from the start. the closest thing now is the magma grey interior, and it is more black than grey... regards
That front passenger seat took almost a minute to move. If they're going to make it so slow they should at least program it so that you just push the button once and not keep it pressed down.
sshawa If the seats can detect whether there is a passenger in the car (which I think it can from the seatbelt warning) then if someone presses the button it shouldn't move the seat.

Mercedes in the US is kinda different. We don’t get any Diesel engines or a straight 6 gasoline. But we do get the 9 speed in all but the V12 model. We also don’t get the normal long wheel base model. The body styles we get are coupe/convertible, standard wheelbase sedan, and Maybach
Audi and Tesla seem to have same idiots when it comes to interior funcionaility - that why they have everything on touch screen. It's like they dont want people to look on the road while driving.
I take it you've never used the Tesla infotainment. Easiest to use in the business. Trying to type in an adress is absolutely terrible in any other infotainment without a touchscreen keyboard.
I miss the 2-spoke steering wheel. Apparently American owners complained about the cruise control on the stalk and Mercedes had them placed on the steering wheel. Would love to see a full comparison of this against the new A8 and LS500.

Coming here after seeing the new S and all I can say is that this version is waaay nicer... more classy, more beautiful
more beautiful , better interior design but not better in every way....agreed with you mate
YEESSSSSSSS
The new S Class is very ugly
@@egbuna1 it is not ugly it is just not as good as old one
@@rayyannaeem3062 I think it is ugly... it lacks class..
Like an overgrown C Class..
They need to scrap it
I like the new s class way more
Cant even afford its tyres but still watching the review.....Hell ya.....😎
I feel you.
Dream it til you achieve it
The tyres are just normal tyres, it's not a supercar 😂😂 I thinkhink you can afford them.
lmao you're not the only one - Check out the channel if you get a sec, we've got a crazy S500!
Even if I could afford it, I live in Liverpool so it would just get robbed anyway.

calling the headlight a lamp is too lmao
Holt yea I was thinking the same
I didn't even know that eyebrows could be in the eyes itself rather than on top of the eyes,
I still prefer this s class , it’s too early to create a new one because this still looks brand new!
It really does. Also, the new one looks older than this. It looks like a cheap korean car inside.
Gorgeous interior color
Thanks!
Its jaw dropping in person! Very beautiful!
Just don't eat or splash coffee on it.

nice motor. You still got it? How has it been reliability wise
Yes I also wants to know as well. Planning to get a used 2018 2019 S450L. How was the reliability?
2018 feels like yesterday, its been 5 years...
It has a 9 speed auto not 7 speed. Just a little correction
The Best looking S Class in my opinion.
Can't wait for s class vs A8 2018 vs 7 series
Devansh Royal don't forget the xj jag
Lmao
Its a8 this time ..what matt says..
Work App Jaguar is no competition now
A8 BOSS
5:40 Anyone find those bloody leaves in the grill annoying? Makes me want to pick them all off!
I didn't mind the leaves, but that slab of plastic in the middle of the grill is absolutely hideous!
SsgtHolland it's for the Distronic Plus. There are sensors that monitor the road in order to brake in time etc. But it's optional I guess!

I swear Mat makes every car review video unique and some how hilarious
3:00 rich people drink water too mat. Not just champagne.
No they don't
the s-class rly has that "champagne/wine in my door bin" vibe tho, and btw we rich ppl carry wine, not champagne
Rich people are healthy and dont drink its just the upper average people that do so same with clothes Gucci and so on truly rich people don't wear this stuff
No

Matt please do a Panamera Review!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
No man
@@xtreme-speed2903 bro you there?
I love this interior design so much better than the latest s class
I still prefer this over the newest one.
Exactly I don’t like the interior this one is just feel perfect like a little spaceship
The eyebrow definition is spot on. And only car lovers can understand.
To me best car in the world
Trey Diggz maybach is s class with an bodykit😂
almost perfect, except that without double glazz wind noise is too hight after 130 km/ h
This is the car audi a8 and bmw 7 series copyied the hell out from
have you even seen the new A8? the new interior is verry unique, especially the new dash merc will copy it in the next gen from Audi.
Feelsqtpman this S class still looks a lot better
no that is your opinion, imo the A8 looks a lot better
Feelsqtpman nope. The S Class is still king!
Saga Bergen u
I'm trying to decide whether to buy the 2018 or 2020 S560. Is there a major difference?
It’s a 9 Speed auto fitted to this facelift S Class Not the old 7 speed mat :)
W140 is the best S class of Mercedes, but not easy to find it currently.
"The mercedes sign acts as a gun sight"
**BREATHS HEAVILY IN GERMAN*
We wait the compare A8 ✌️
Maytham Nahi A8 will win sure..
BEAST not neccesaarly.
A8 is shit for passengers. The s class is pure luxury
People who buy big sedan for back seat. And s class provided alll.
Do an SUV head to head!

Please higher sound on future videos. It is so low compared to other videos.
Thanks!

10:24 - I’ve always wondered why they steering wheel is offset on RHD versions of this car...
Josh Bacon I've noticed it on my car in the UK, a wild guess but maybe it's done soo that in the case of an accident where the drive idk sleeps behind the wheel, your car would veer to the left, as opposed to going straight or right into oncoming cars. Maybe safety?
This channel is soo good.
Are we going to have more 750 litre doorbins like the volvo s90/v90?
what name does the colour have??
I was supposed to buy S-Class, BUT, I Hated the Flimsy Table.....
*Looking for other alternatives now !*
7 series stupid...d ohhh
This guy's humor is on another level. I'd watch him review any car.

Beautiful!
My favourite one!
I just cant wait for the group test video with the a8 and the 7 series
S-Class still a cut above new 2018 Audi A8 and 2017 BMW 7 Series. Interior/dash also better than the competition.

lol new A8 is way better
