The Mercedes Benz S450L continues to wear the AMG Line that includes a newly designed AMG front bumper, a restyled rear bumper with a new diffuser, and a more prominent designed twin exhaust tip. Meanwhile, the Mercedes Benz S560e is optioned with the Exclusive trim (along with a Night Package) that features a set of different styled bumpers that reflects its hybrid identity.

The Mercedes Benz S450L has a great-sized boot that can carry 530 liters of luggage. The Mercedes Benz S560e, however, lose some space and only has 410 liters due to the batteries for the hybrid system. Although the batteries increased in energy content, the unit is smaller than the one used in the pre-facelift Mercedes Benz S400h.
The Mercedes Benz S-Class gets THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control system. It is a four climate zones air-con, two for front and two for rear passengers. The rear air-con has independent climate controls on the rear floor console. Rear passengers get air vents on the console and on the B-Pillar.

Inside the Mercedes Benz S-Class, there are two 12.3-inch screens installed together under a continuous glass cover. It looks like one long single screen instead of the separated one on the pre-facelift models. One is the fully digital instrument panel, and one is for the infotainment system. The COMAND Online infotainment system and touchpad with controller are carried on from the pre-facelift model. For the first time, Apple CarPlay and Android Autos are available.

The Mercedes Benz S560eâs hybrid drive system combines the same V6 engine and an electric motor with a rated output of 121 hp and 440 Nm. This combination produced a total output of 476 PS @5,500 to 6,000 rpm and 700 Nm. Power for the electric motor comes from a 13.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, which features 37 Ah lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt (Li-NMC) cells.
The Mercedes Benz S560e comes equipped with ECO Assist, which provides driving recommendations to the driver. This feature considers numerous factors such as traffic, navigation, and information from the carâs radar and stereo camera to promote more economical driving. The system also analyzes battery power levels and traffic before computing the right course of action.
Overall, the Mercedes Benz S-Class drives well for its huge size with help from the range of driver assistance available. However, even with the powerful engine, donât expect sports car handling down your nearest twisty roads. The Mercedes Benz S-Class suits journeys where comfort is a priority.

The driving experience is further elevated with the soundproofing of the Mercedes Benz S-Class. The only sound that could be heard is the air-con and media playing. The air suspension especially in Comfort mode, absorbs harsh road conditions well as if the car is gliding on air.
It is thanks to the plug-in hybrid system that allows the Mercedes Benz S560e to have the better fuel economy among the two variants. The hybrid system also allows the Mercedes Benz S560e to run on the electric motor alone with a range of 50 km.
The batteries can be charged with either a water-cooled onboard charger via a Mercedes Wallbox (7.4 kW), a conventional domestic power socket (230V/13A, 3.0 kW), or a typical public charging outlet (230V/16A, 3.7 kW). These will charge the battery from 10% to 100% SoC (status of charge) in around 1.8 hours, six hours, and under four hours respectfully in the above-mentioned arrangement.
The ambiance and workmanship in the interior with sophisticated surfaces and tasteful materials make a lavish cabin. In addition, it is part of a Mercedes Benz S-Classâs DNA to present innovative technology which has yet to feature in any vehicle to date. It will be a bold choice to pick the Mercedes Benz S-Class as a partner to your journey but one you will not live to regret.

While there are petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid variants available overseas, Malaysian units may only be limited to the S450 4MATIC and S580e variants as seen in the outgoing W222 S-Class. Both are powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged M256 inline-6 with an additional electric motor for the latter.
Though there is still no official confirmation by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, it's very likely that most of the features mentioned here will be available for the Malaysian-spec W223 S-Class.
But if you want even more premium luxury on the S-Class, thereâs the Z223 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class which made its world premiere at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. Itâs 11 cm longer than the regular W223 S-Class and features automatic closing doors.
However, weâll probably have to wait much longer for this exclusive S-Class to make it here. The same can be said for the more performance-oriented Mercedes-AMG S-Class which hasnât been unveiled yet.
One of the most paramount features across every generation of the S-Class is its innovative safety features. Volvo might have been the pioneer for safety but the S-Class is the automotive equivalent and the W223 S-Class is clearly no exception.
Remember the active suspension system mentioned a few paragraphs ago? Theyâre also designed with safety in mind. In the event of a side-impact, the entire S-Class will be raised by the E-Active Body Control suspension to divert the impact through stronger structures.
On top of that, the Pre-Safe safety system has also been updated for side impacts. Once an imminent side impact is detected, the system will move occupants to the centre of the car with the help of air cushions in the seats.
However, the most innovative safety feature might be the rear passenger airbags. The W223 S-Class is the first production car to offer this feature. The rear airbags use a tubular design that reduces impact forces on the head and spine by 30 per cent.
Weâll start with what makes the S-Class what itâs famous for, class-leading comfort. The W223 S-Class will feature the E-Active Body Control active suspension system that adjusts the suspensions accordingly to reduce discomfort over bumps with the help of stereo cameras.
Besides, this system also helps to reduce body roll and passenger discomfort around the bends. Trips up to Genting Highlands or Cameron Highlands would feel less queasy.
