Brands can be made or broken by changes in the automotive industry. If an OEM tries to evolve too quickly, they risk sacrificing quality or perhaps losing sight of their model's actual core. They are promptly characterized as outmoded if they do not evolve swiftly enough. Since 1926, Mercedes-Benz has been evolving at a rapid pace. The S-Class, their most opulent car, was always a step ahead. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-class is a rolling exhibition of the company's finest technology as well as a personal limo for the ultra-rich.
In the year 2022, what's new?
There are a few new additions to the S-class lineup for 2022. The company's E-Active Body Control, in particular, is now available. By automatically adjusting damping and level control for each individual wheel, this completely active suspension system improves ride quality and vehicle stability. The MBUX Interior Assist detects hand movements and gestures toward the touchscreen or touchpad, then highlights or activates the desired content.
Different hues are available
Nautical Blue metallic, Kalahari Gold, Manufaktur Cashmere White Mango, and Manufaktur Selenite Grey Mango are among the new hues available for the S-class. Metallic black and silver, as well as black dotted lines, are now available for the center console.
Interior
The S-class favors screens on the inside. There are plenty of them. The sedan may be equipped with up to five touchscreens, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster in the center. The normal S-Class has 42.1 inches of front headroom and 39.4 inches of rear headroom. The legroom is 41.7 inches in the front and 43.8 inches in the back. Maybach models feature a 7-inch wheelbase extension, allowing back passengers to stretch out while lowering their seats from a 19-degree inclination to a comfortable 43-degree angle. The latter uses other technology to create a three-dimensional display, but it can be turned off if you prefer a more classic screen view. The optional rear-seat entertainment system, which includes two 11.6-inch screens on the front seatbacks as well as dynamic LED interior lighting, should keep those in the back occupied psychologically as well as physically.
Performance and safety
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class comes standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The S500 is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine with the EQ Boost mild-hybrid technology as standard. The engine produces 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque.
The S580 is powered by a mild hybrid 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that produces 496 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. A plug-in hybrid S560e is also on the way. It will likely combine an inline-six engine with an electric motor to provide up to 500 horsepower and a range of up to 60 miles on electric power alone. Mercedes packed a lot of safety features into its full-size luxury vehicle. It has stop-and-go adaptive cruise control with active lane centering, lane change assist, automated emergency braking, and active parking assist, as well as Level 2 semi-autonomous capabilities. It also has a dash cam and a conventional 360-degree camera system.
Cargo space
The trunk of the S-Class has 12.9 cubic feet of cargo capacity. In addition, the cabin has a lot of space. The rear-seat region of the new model has somewhat more headroom and legroom.
Technology
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is known for its technology. Its MBUX technology recognizes the driver via a facial scan, voiceprint, fingerprint, or written PIN, and applies the individual presets as soon as they get in the car. A head-up display with augmented reality navigation and a 3-D instrument cluster is included in the 3D Technology package. The vehicle dynamics are also affected by a lot of technology.
The S-Class comes standard with air spring suspension, but the available E-Active Body Control suspension for 2022 promises an even more luxurious and composed ride; stereo cameras scan the road and communicate with the car's computers, allowing the suspension to anticipate and dampen pavement imperfections.
