Despite added chrome details and updated screens, they argue the car still delivers the classic S-Class experience. Exterior The mid-cycle update brings a new grille with integrated stars, along with restyled headlights and taillights featuring star branding. The changes push the design toward a flashier, more attention-grabbing look, somewhat departing from the S-Class's traditionally understated style. Reviewers felt the changes are a bit much but not offensive, especially in the Patagonia Red color option. Interior Material quality is inconsistent. Plastic air vents and less premium Piano Black lacquer disappointed the reviewers. The Superscreen (an updated Hyperscreen) is functional but still has excessive bezels between displays, making the gaps noticeable in sunlight. The rear seats remain a highlight, offering heated/ventilated massage seats, individual passenger screens, and adjustable rear window controls. Powertrain The US lineup includes the S500, S580e (plug-in hybrid), and S580 (V8), while Europe also gets a diesel S450d. The new flat-plane V8 in the S580 produces 530 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, with a top speed around 155–158 mph. Six-cylinder models remain mechanically unchanged from before the facelift. Driving Experience The ride quality remains excellent across all road conditions, including rough surfaces and high autobahn speeds. Rear-wheel steering (10 degrees) helps the car feel smaller and more maneuverable than its size suggests, while all-wheel drive keeps it stable during spirited driving. Technology The S-Class includes Level 2 autonomous driving, performing well in city and highway scenarios, including automated reverse-maneuver recreation. Some inconsistencies were noted with automatic lane-changing. Verdict While not considered the best S-Class ever built (the reviewers still favor the classic W140), the updated model retains the brand's core strengths: comfort, refinement, and rear-seat luxury.
