Overview
- Orders open now from €121,356, and Mercedes says roughly 2,700 parts are new or revised in its largest S‑Class facelift.
- The new MB.OS electronics run on a water‑cooled supercomputer and underpin an updated MBUX system with multiple AI agents.
- Front heated safety belts debut for comfort and safety, while rear belts are excluded due to existing airbag hardware.
- Powertrains are reworked: the S 580 V8 rises to 537 PS, six‑cylinders and plug‑in hybrids gain output, and diesels add a heated catalytic converter.
- Design tweaks include a larger illuminated grille and, in some markets, a lit hood star not permitted in Germany; the Maybach variant is set for a March 24 reveal.
