Vehicle Overview
Mercedes' flagship S-Class sedan seats up to five in two luxurious rows. It's available with rear- or all-wheel drive. Mercedes also offers high-performance AMG versions of the S-Class, and there's a new S-Class coupe for 2015. The S-Class shares luxury-sedan real estate with competitors like the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series and Bentley Flying Spur.
New for 2015
In addition to the new coupe body style, two new V-12-powered models, the S600 and S65 AMG, join the lineup. The car's physical keypad has been replaced by a touchpad, too.
