The facelifted
Mercedes-Benz S560 Coupe and Cabriolet duo is now available in Thailand, priced
at 15.99 and 16.72 million baht respectively for the sporty AMG Premium trim
level.
The S560 Cabriolet
is powered by a 4.0 litre biturbo V8 engine with 469 hp and 700 Nm of torque,
replacing the 4.7 litre V8 from the pre-facelift. The new M176 motor comes with
cylinder deactivation tech and is mated to a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic
transmission. The big cruiser does 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
The A217 S-Class
Cabriolet gets new front and rear bumpers, with the face adorned with a
familiar diamond grille, chrome-plated front splitter and bigger air inlets.
The rear gets new OLED tail lights, with each cluster featuring 33 thin OLED
elements that are printed on a glass plate. The luminance varies depending on
ambient brightness, driving condition, braking and turn signals; while a ‘light
show’ accompanies locking and unlocking.
Inside, the dual
12.3-inch screens that form the widescreen cockpit are no longer separated, and
there’s a new steering wheel with buttons that respond to swiping motions.
There’s a Comand Online infotainment system (with updated interface) that
offers 3D HDD GPS navigation and smartphone connectivity, along with Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto as well as wireless charging.
Here, the ragtop S
is equipped with Airmatic air suspension with infinitely variable damper
control, and driving assistance systems such as Active Distance Control
Distronic and Active Steering Assist. Once again, it goes for RM1.31 million,
which is RM780k less than what Thai tycoons pay.
