New Mercedes S-Class 2018 in-depth review - is it still the best? | carwow Reviews

- Опубліковано 16 лис 2017
- The Mercedes S-Class is one of the most luxurious cars on sale and absolutely rammed with high-tech features that wouldn't seem out of place in NASA's mission control, but what's it like to live with and how does it compare to the likes of the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8? I take a detailed look around and get behind the wheel to give you my verdict on this supremely comfortable executive saloon.

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).
haha you are wholeheartedly forgiven Matt...we luv you no matter what xx
Haha that's funny
carwow relax mat you are just a human too
Take it easy :) everybody will forgive you guys !
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.
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
Who else watches all his videos but never watches the practicality videos?
Sufiyan Malek umm I think those are people that actually want to buy the cars
I am 12 years old and only watch these vids for Matt and I really like cars
Cool Guyz cool
Same haha
Me 2
lel me
I'm asking my barber to give me the S-Class haircut, 3 layers please!
wtfdididolastnight +those makeup products. Forgot the name.
The way you explained head lamp with eyebrows is some next level shit
You got any shitty ideas shithead
That face though 🤣
👺🤡🤡💩🤡👻💩👻💩👾👽👾👽🤖👽🤖👾👾👾👾👾😉🤡💩😉😄🤣🤣😂😂😔😤😡😰😰😨😱😰🤯😥😥😥😓😓😓😥😥😥😥😯😶😶😯🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
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,
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.
Mat you are hands down the best vehicle reviewer on UA-cam and pretty much anywhere else. Particularly for the 90% of us who aren't splitting hairs on torque, CCs, HP, G forces, and the Area 51 aerodynamics testing done by Ze Germans etc. You get what most of us want to know which is:
1. Ride comfort (on and off road coz my Grandpa hates rocky suspension due to previous surgery).
2. Back row seating space (So my grandma can nap calmly on long drives).
3. Boot space.
4. Cubby spaces (criminally understated by many other reviewers).
5. Seat comfort and knee space.
6. Fuel economy.
7. How fast or slow it is (For us in African countries where overtaking is life).
8. Sound and Navigation system (So I can keep my wife and son entertained).
Keep it up!
I had The same offset steering to the left in my previous c class. Makes finding the perfect driving position almost impossible. Thumbs up Mat as you are the only reviewer who mention this problem across the mercedes range 👍
Gorgeous interior color
Thanks!
Its jaw dropping in person! Very beautiful!
Just don't eat or splash coffee on it.
Mike Hamilton I'll do what I want with my car.
Anonymous They won’t be “gorgeous” though with a coffee stain on them.
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.
2018 feels like yesterday, its been 5 years...
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!
Armagan Sengül it also houses the front camera for parking and whatnot
Another fantastic review Matt! All your videos are amazing and very interesting
I swear Mat makes every car review video unique and some how hilarious
The eyebrow definition is spot on. And only car lovers can understand.
"The mercedes sign acts as a gun sight"
**BREATHS HEAVILY IN GERMAN*
It has a 9 speed auto not 7 speed. Just a little correction
Nothing beats a Mercedes interior! 👌🏼
Aditi Chandra have you ever heard of Rolls-Royce
romel 4life rolls and mb are not in the same class the s class is imo the highest "normal luxury car" before the luxury class cars start like rolls or bentley etc
romel 4life dont forget maybach* xd
A8 interior
A8? hahaha. all panels are full of fingerprints, leaving dirty marks eww
Your review and humor is brilliant!
Proud to say I own one. 2 yrs of sheer delight. Designo and rear executive package with reclining chairs, and extending footrests in the rear. Messaging chairs. It makes a Bmw 7 look like child's play. 💯
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?
Please higher sound on future videos. It is so low compared to other videos.
Thanks!
i really like your reviews, they are different and fun to watch ,ty
Congratulations on 500k Carwow
I love this interior design so much better than the latest s class
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
MantaRay Kid Guess your the spokesman first EVERY rich person
I keep comin back watching This video, for a little glimps of luxury of course but mainly for Matt's sens of humour 😀
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.
Damn I just watched a review from Doug Demuro, made ma appreciate Mat's reviews so much more
Are we going to have more 750 litre doorbins like the volvo s90/v90?
This channel is soo good.
Thanks Mat, You are the best car reviewer👍🏼
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?
Beautiful!
My favourite one!
Love all Rob Brydon's car reviews...nice to see him getting his leg up in the back of an S-Class
What an awesome interior. Those gauge screens looks great.
sponsor of head lights - adidas !!!
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
This guy's humor is on another level. I'd watch him review any car.
The King. IMHO. Always LOVED the SonderKlasse
Matt please do a Panamera Review!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
No man
@@xtreme-speed2903 bro you there?
It’s a 9 Speed auto fitted to this facelift S Class Not the old 7 speed mat :)
The eyebrow idea is sp nice
I just cant wait for the group test video with the a8 and the 7 series
"Come on Mercedes", "Come on Car" makes me laugh every time😂
Dilafrose B true
4:40 lmfao
Same 😂😂😂
Loved ur comparison with ur eyebrows.
Best channel for saloon reviews
Jeeeeezus that interior tho can't tell if it's beautiful or ugly, still looks insanely future istic
Awesome car, awesome coat, where did you get the one i CAN afford from?
That Carwow special camera effect was legit 😂😂
I love your signature entrance...
The Best looking S Class in my opinion.
4:33 Perfectly assembled
Blessed to have this guy review cars he’s great
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
S class>>>>>>7 series
Do an SUV head to head!
Merc GLC 43 vs BMW X3 vs Audi Q5
It’s the X3 that competes with the glc and the q5
X3, not X5
PiCKL3R1CK x3
You mean GLE vs X5 vs Q7?
An Ethnic Cleansing For The Better of Humanity Yea
The Intro is the best
You really took it to another level !
I Started Watching this Video By 129k Views But When it Completed It Was 131k Views.
That's The Popularity Of MERCEDES 👍
Still easily ahead of competiton. The industry standard.
Ilija Petrovic lexus beats it. The new one. A8 the same.
mascaltzone7 Personal opinion. I think nothing beats an S Class, everybody has copied it for years. Just to each their own.
Compared to Rolls Royce it’s cheaper and in my opinion better.
@@Ilija742 I mean, by all means provide details of how everybody has 'copied it for years'. Everyone has copied the 7 series if anything because of how much pioneering technology was first seen on that model and then subsequent competitor's cars
@@mascaltzone7 hmmmm i like Lexus but it can't win while having the worst infotainment system in the car industry.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy the 2018 or 2020 S560. Is there a major difference?
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 !
great video sir..love your review.review a Toyota Harrier 2018...
you can watch it at review.review.com
I was supposed to buy S-Class, BUT, I Hated the Flimsy Table.....
*Looking for other alternatives now !*
7 series stupid...d ohhh
That's itThat's the complete review as we expected
I love Matt review, very entertaining!
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.
I love that car
Nice video. In case the verdict is short list, you should put the links to the contenders reviews in the end of the video.
This update on infotainment system is much better
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
Do Audi A8 2018 vs Merc S class 2018
Eyebrow thing was hilarious 😂
Nice presenting Mat. 👍
To me best car in the world
Trey Diggz maybach is s class with an bodykit😂
Just ordered my S63 Aventador Spider LWB!
Anonymous delivery is tomorrow 6 p.m.

Great review. Subscribed!
No music in vid , it’s really wow
Don’t think I can keep watching Carwow if mat left
Gosh mercedes why you used to have such a luxurious design what happened to the s class now 😭😢
I like how mercedes is bringing back the straight 6. I love their I6.
Freeside mood actually smells really nice it comes through the ac
And it will be the fastest depreciating S-Class like all previous S-Class.
@Carlos Garrido Moreno Yeah that's true, and who buy these cars to preserve value anyway, just lease it and put it on the company's accounts.
The S-Class is still the best car in the world and is still better than the new A8 imo. This one also has a gorgeous interior color imo.
BMWM5VOLKSWAGENWGOLFGTI not the "best" car in the world but close to the top
I disagree, the A8 is a touch more elegant imo and the interior despite all the shiny piano black plastic is slightly better in terms of quality and even it's design.
It’s really not. The a8 is far better in terms of quality and driving comfort
Would have hoped that it would have had the most comfy suspension in the world but that is one aspect it isn't the best ever car in.
BMWM5VOLKSWAGENWGOLFGTI A8 is a masterpiece and way ahead in terms of technology and looks.
Brilliant review as usual.
Rear seat satisfaction expressed without thumbs up or thumbs down. His gestures tell something else, above and beyond I suppose.
This and the A8 are reigning kings since always.
Tomislav Zvonimir A8 will win test for sure
BEAST take away that smg profile pic you Audi fanboy. You aren't fooling anyone.
@@hasanal-habbobi4018 He is just being realistic. He is not a Fanboy, which is the right way to behave. However, the A8 will reign until the W223 appears
@@DavidGarcia29497 The A8 isn't better tho.The interior is just dead.Also it isn't as fast as the S.Maybe it has better ride quality.But when you buy a car at that price,you want it to have a nice design.The a8 doesn't even have colors.When you get in the S you feel like home,can't say the same about the A8.
Bmw will shit on both these amateurs and also on u🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
I reckon new Lexus LS hybrid will be more efficient and quiet
u r best sir . better explainer than autocar
Man that's interior tho! Love it!
Those pictures in the beginning made me really uncomfortable...
Who tf asked?
You should comment on the Tesla roadster 2.0
paul No need to review those thieves
Agree, they overhype everything!
it's not even out yet
That's not a car, it's an electric gadget. Tesla is going bankrupt soon anyways. Good riddance.
@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 love S Class
Amazing interior, amazing engine V12... lovely classic but modern exterior... love the car
Finally a good video
No fridge?
PugLordTR optional
Can you do a Range Rover vogue review please
Ridhwan Hussain i like you have the g wagon as a profile 🤗👌
Your review is excellent
Crystal clear voice of Matt for once even when he is whispering. Thanks Mercedes ;)
