A CLASS ABOVE

Mercedes has launched its most advanced and luxurious S-Class yet. The family and executive saloon has never ceased to raise standards in both technology and comfort. Now, it promises even greater levels of refinement and an even more personalised drive or journey. With a three engine line up of one diesel, one petrol and one petrol hybrid, the new range also offers two trim choices (SE Line and AMG Line). UK production started in September 2013, with deliveries expected to begin the following month.

The car company has improved the levels of standard equipment offered in the S-Class, with the addition of a reversing camera, a full LED Intelligent Light System and Keyless Start. Newly introduced to the S-Class comes Magic Vision Control, the innovative wash/wipe system that applies washer fluid directly in front of the wiper blades to minimise waste and obstruction to the driver. There’s also an enhanced AirMATIC full air suspension system with continuously adapting damp control, delivering a composed ride.

Three different seat packages are available in the rear – ranging from three seats finished in high quality leather to two individual seats with the ability to recline to an angle of 43.5 degrees. They can even simulate a hot stone massage.
