What characterises a flagship product? It's the leading offering from a company, typically establishing its reputation. For Mercedes-Benz, that's the S-Class, the pinnacle of automotive luxury.

What’s a flagship product? It’s usually either the leading article from a company or one that placed it on the map to begin with, the foundation of its eminence. In the case of Mercedes-Benz, that’ll be the S-Class.

Despite the policy U-turn by the European Union to exempt carbon-neutral synthetic fuels (also known as e-fuels) from the trade bloc’s 2035 ban on combustion engines, Mercedes-Benz will maintain its course to phase out combustion engines in favour of battery EVs.
