The 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is an epitome of luxury and high-tech features. This generation of the brand’s flagship sedan comes with three trims: S 450, S 560, and AMG S 63. The range starts with a 362-hp V6 in the S 450, moves up to a 463-hp V8 for the S 560, and tops out with a 603-hp V8 in the AMG S 63. All models are paired with a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, and come standard with rear-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. Cutting-edge features include intelligent drive systems such as Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist. The S-Class also houses an advanced infotainment system with a pair of 12.3" high-resolution screens: one is the digital instrument cluster and the other is the central media display, both featuring user-friendly COMAND system with touchpad controller. Notable changes for the 2018 model year include refreshed styling, more powerful engines, a new nine-speed automatic transmission, and updated tech features.
