Mercedes-Benz Magnificent S-Class


The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is simply incomparable to any other car on the market, within the entry level or luxury level. The S-Class now comes in sedan, coupe, and convertible body styles. You can also choose from five different powertrain options that range between 436 to 621 hp. The design of every Mercedes is always just as iconic as their everlastingly sophisticated image.

The S-Class interior can be upholstered in lavish nappa leather appointed with ventilation and six massage settings. One of the massage settings simulates a hot stone massage by craftily utilizing the seat heating elements! These amazing features are even available to the rear passengers, in addition to the available entertainment system, pop-out tables, and fridge. The standard seats are certainly sumptuous enough, but some things are just too good to pass up.


Mercedes offers more extensive and comprehensive standard features than you’ll find on most any car, let alone the base model. The S-Class comes standard with 19-inch wheels, an adaptive air suspension, adaptive LED headlights and running lights, a panoramic sunroof, a power trunklid, 12-way power-adjustable and heated front seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment and memory functions, leather upholstery, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a cabin air-purification and fragrance system, a power rear sunshade, two 12.3-inch display screens, a navigation system, two USB ports, HD and satellite radio, and a 13-speaker Burmester sound system.

The 2017 Mercedes S550 is powered by a turbocharged 4.7-liter V8 biturbo engine that produces 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard on every S550. Standard equipment includes stability and traction control, crosswind assistance, front and rear side airbags, side curtain airbags, front side pelvic airbags and a driver knee airbag.

Standard electronic safety features include a drowsy driver warning system and a collision prevention system that will warn the driver of a potential collision and fully apply the brakes if necessary. Mercedes' Mbrace emergency telematics includes automatic collision notification, stolen-vehicle location assistance, alarm notification, an SOS emergency services button, geo-fencing for valets and teenage drivers and remote vehicle controls (via mobile app or computer) that can do things like unlock or lock the car.


The S-Class is leagues above others in its class in terms of engineering, technology, and luxury. Excellence certainly does come at a high price, but the S-Class is well worth your money. For more information, or to schedule your test drive, you can visit us here.
