Took the car to Kuala Lumpur. Was very impressed with the fuel consumption. Went to and fro with one full tank . The power is impressive. The handling is good for high speed cruising on sports mode. But comfort model is highly recommended for singapore usage.» Read More -
The sales figure speaks everything. Many towkays or businessmen in Singapore love the new S-Class. More stylish and higher-tech than before, it is of no surprise why this is the most successful model.» Read More
Nothing to find fault on its interior and engine performance. I shall focus on the exterior design instead.
I believe Mercedes designer drew design cues from the 2nd-gen CLS-Class, especially its side profile, flowing downwards from the bonnet to the top of the rear wheel arches. Conventional design always have the side profile flowing upward instead. The other parts of the car are totally different from the previous model too, with more curvy headlamps and taillights. LEDs are standard for the car (including the interior). I particularly like the rear design of the car. The tail lights are placed towards the edges of the car, separating from the tailgate. This creates an nostalgic feel of old-Merz of the past.
The car in its standard bumpers is already good looking enough. Personally, I feel the AMG sports kit kind of feel out of place on the car. On the other hand, the standard bumpers, together with the 5-spoke 20-inch alloy rims (standard on the S500L), enhances the elegant and nostalgic feel of this limousine.
This is definitely the best-looking S-Class. In fact, it is so successful that the latest C-Class and the upcoming E-Class have similar design (same sausage, different length).
I wonder what can be improved on the next facelift model. -
Quite an expensive class of car to own but well worth it with all the specs added to it the ability to monitor road terrain and adjust the suspension to road setting the car sees ahead make the ability for passengers in the car to not feel anything at all.» Read More

» VERDICT
It is not hard to figure out why the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the best luxury sedan of the year. With Mercedes-Benz giving it all its know-how into the S-Class, we are not surprised it is head and shoulders above the rest of its class.
Compared to the previous generation, the current S-Class (codenamed W222) appears to be more dignified and athletic. But the S-Class is more that just improved looks. The headlamps, for starters, have over 110 LEDs while the taillights consist of some 70 LEDs (excluding rear fog lamps). It is also the first car in the world to do without a single light bulb.
Inside, the classic-looking two-spoke steering wheel plus two high-resolution 12.3-inch TFT colour displays strike you first when you open the door. One of them replaces the instrumental cluster to give a cleaner overall feel. Lots of leather and matching pillows on the rear seats make sure you feel as comfortable as it can be.
With a range of petrol, diesel and petrol-hybrid variants to choose from, one will be spoiled for choice when it comes to a drivetrain decision. Having driven the petrol-hybrid S400L and the S350L BlueTEC, we can safely say that both complement the S-Class's refinement.
While we did not get to sample its highly acclaimed Magic Body Control system which scans the road ahead and adjusts its suspension to minimise bumps and ruts, the standard air suspension is easily on par with the best in class.
The S-Class is arguably a car that's more enjoyable at the back seat. But we reckon otherwise. With its groundbreaking technologies, it almost feels like the S-Class is looking out for your well-being in all directions.
