A light face lift and state-of-the-art technology
The Bavarian brand would unveil at the Shanghai Salon the face wash of one of its most popular saloons, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. And so it was, just a few minutes ago we finally met the appearance and all the details of the luxury saloon that is now modernized to follow the latest design lines of the rest of the German range, as well as incorporating new systems that bring it closer to autonomous driving and new mechanics.
Among the most outstanding features of this new S-Class is the ‘Intelligent Drive’ system, which aims to take a further step towards autonomous driving and a new generation of Mercedes-Benz engines. One of the leaders in this segment of premium sedans that now adds a plus of comfort and comfort in its interior, with a new generation of double screens of 12.3 inches of high resolution, new finishing options or a wide catalog of upholsteries to to choose.

The systems known as “Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC” and “Active Steering Assist” make the German saloon a totally intelligent vehicle capable of reacting to multiple situations so that its driver has to intervene less and less. Now the S-Class incorporates a series of improvements to maintain distance from the rest of vehicles offering a comfortable and safe driving at all times. The speed will be adjusted automatically according to the route or the maneuvers that we have to carry out at each moment of our displacement.
Another new system that incorporates the Bavarian saloon is the Intelligent Light System LED, which considerably improves the lighting thanks to the Ultra Wide Beam and the Road Surface Scan to detect any obstacle or prevent accidents prematurely. Optionally we can also add systems such as the ENERGIZING Comfort, which links different comfort systems in the vehicle such as climate control, ambient lighting, massage functions or fragrances, allowing each passenger to adjust a series of parameters to suit their needs. mood at every moment of the day.

All new models incorporate the highest quality finishes and materials in their interiors, with an infinite catalog of extras, colors and upholstery that presents each customer with the possibility of personalizing their S-Class up to limits never before imagined. On the outside we come across a new grille on the front, while at the Mercedes-Maybach we will also find new updates such as a large number of chrome finishes to give it its exceptional status compared to the rest of the range.
In combination with the new intelligent LED light system, the new S-Class also has three different accents of light as an exclusive design element. Also, we also find a redesigned front bumper that now receives a sportier look thanks to its pronounced air intakes. In the rear, the new LED taillights recall with their shapes a jewel, guaranteeing a characteristic design both day and night. Also in the rear, the rear bumper has been redesigned with a small cutout of the exhaust that remains visible.
