The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, part of the seventh-generation lineup, is the brand's pinnacle of luxury and technology. Available in rear-wheel drive as standard, with optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive across various trims, this model employs a nine-speed automatic transmission. It serves up a choice of engines, including a 429-hp turbocharged inline-six, a 496-hp V8, and a plug-in hybrid powertrain rated at 510-hp. The S-Class offers an array of safety features, such as automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning, along with the Mercedes-Benz's advanced 'Drive Pilot' semi-autonomous driving system. The cabin is a tech marvel, boasting a 12.8-inch infotainment OLED touchscreen integrated with MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), featuring Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon's Alexa. The most notable change this model-year is a more streamlined design and tech upgrades, reinforcing the S-Class's position as a tech leader among luxury sedans.
