Since unveiling the updated 2018 S-Class during last
year's Shanghai Auto Show, Mercedes hasn't shied away from using as many
superlatives as possible to describe it.
Even though the exterior didn't undergo any major
changes, the 2018 S-Class does feature a more aggressive front bumper, new
headlights, a new radiator grille and darkened taillights with new LEDs at the
rear.
Inside, it has a sportier, flat-bottom steering
wheel (with touch-sensitive controls), an updated sound system, wireless
charging, updated displays, plus the industry-first ENERGIZING Comfort feature,
tailored to create a bespoke environment. Another major selling point is made
up of various semi-autonomous functions, such as Remote Parking Assist, Active
Proximity Assist, Steer Assist, Lane Change Assist and Emergency Stop Assist.
When it comes to driving the S-Class, The 612 PS
4.0-liter biturbo V8 powering the S63 4MATIC+ should thrill just about anybody.
In a straight line, it will take you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5
seconds, or 0-60 in 3.4 sec.
