Modern Luxury Series: Mercedes-Benz S-Class

How could the classic style and name of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class be the car chosen for the Modern Luxury Series?

Easy, this car is brand-new for 2021 and it brings along an amazing list of new technology features to take your drive to the next level. This car has already been equipped with a system that is considered as close to autonomous driving as we can find in the market right now.

What Does This Car Bring to Your Drive?

You know you’re looking at a flagship luxury car when you see the S-Class, but what you might not know can be found inside. This impressive vehicle brings you 4Matic AWD, it’s packed with technology, you’ll find rear-seat airbags, enjoy rear-wheel steering and have the choice of two powerful engines to give you the drive you want. This car is built on an all-new chassis and it brings you an aluminum-intensive body which makes it much lighter than it looks.

Exemplary Driving in a Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a car you expect to give you a pure luxury drive and it never lets you down. You’ll be amazed at how this car rides with the super quiet cabin and the elegant feeling from every seat. Every corner is taking with the deliberate smoothness that brings you to the other side in a way that makes you feel as if you’re floating on a cloud.

Your Drive Can Have a Boost

You’ll find a 48-volt starter-generator that adds improved acceleration to every model of this Mercedes-Benz. You’ll have a smooth feeling when you start from a stop sign or light with this EQ Boost system. This system gives you an additional 21 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque to give you a great way to start when you’re heading off the line.

Excellent Maneuverability During Your Drive

One of the standard complaints about large sedans of any ilk is the large turning radius that is sometimes hard to handle. The rear-axle steering of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class makes it steer like a shorter car. This system has up to 10 degrees of rear steering angle to make this large car turn in a circle that is reduced by 6.2 feet. This system allows the S-Class to have a tighter turning circle than the smaller E-Class sedan to give you an idea of the impact.
