The 2018 Mercedes S-Class: A Comprehensive Overview

In 2018, the Mercedes S-Class underwent an extensive revamp to maintain its position as one of the top luxury cars on the market. The car's exterior has been updated with a new grill, revised bumpers, and seven new alloy wheel designs. However, despite these changes, the overall design is remarkably similar to the previous model, retaining its elegance and sophistication.

Under the bonnet, the S-Class has undergone significant transformations. Two new Straight 6 diesel engines have been added, which offer more power and better fuel efficiency compared to their predecessors. Additionally, two new Straight 6 petrol engines will be available, as well as a 4L twin turbo V8 engine with an impressive 469 horsepower in the s560 model. Furthermore, all-new S-classes will feature all-wheel drive technology, providing enhanced traction and stability.

The interior layout of the 2018 S-Class remains largely unchanged from its predecessor, with some notable exceptions. The car's color options have been refreshed, and new trim designs have been introduced, including revised wooden accents. The S-Class has also adopted a self-driving system that utilizes GPS data to adjust speed when approaching corners. This feature allows drivers to easily change lanes on the motorway by simply flicking the indicator; the car will take care of the rest.

One of the most exciting features of the 2018 S-Class is its advanced LED lighting system, which now includes a more sophisticated design at the back. However, it's the front lights that truly set the tone for this model year. According to Mercedes, these lights will illuminate the road ahead for an astonishing 650 meters, providing unparalleled visibility and safety.

The redesigned steering wheel of the 2018 S-Class is another notable feature. Its touch-sensitive infotainment controls have been revamped to resemble a smartphone interface, allowing drivers to easily access various functions without having to remove their hands from the wheel. This system promises to be more intuitive and user-friendly than its predecessors.

The S-Class will also be available as a plug-in hybrid model later in the lineup, which is expected to achieve approximately 30 miles of battery-powered driving alone. In addition to this, a normal hybrid variant will also be offered. For those seeking an even more luxurious driving experience, Mercedes has introduced the new Energizing Comfort Control Function.

This innovative system allows drivers to choose from six programs tailored to their mood, each adjusting lighting, music, massage functions, and air conditioning accordingly. Whether you want to perk up or unwind, this feature caters to your every need.

Finally, the 2018 S-Class has also given birth to a new AMG variant, the S63. This model has ditched its old 5.5L engine for a twin-turbo 4L V8, which boasts an impressive 612 horsepower – 27 more than its predecessor. Despite being smaller in size, this engine packs a punch that will undoubtedly satisfy even the most discerning driving enthusiasts.

Sales for the updated S-Class are set to begin in July, with prices starting at under £75,000. For those interested in learning more about this magnificent vehicle, a visit to car.co.uk is recommended, where you can find detailed information and compare offers from various dealerships.
