More evolved. Keeps evolving

The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) is intuitive and intelligent, and grows even smarter over time. An advanced multiscreen, multitouch digital cockpit can recognize your fingerprint and respond to your natural voice.

Recognizes you. Remembers your likes

A 12.8-inch Organic LED (OLED) touchscreen is the centerpiece of up to five screens that can share content or entertain individually. You can personalize 800 settings, in the car or from your phone, in up to seven user profiles.

Front air bags. Even in back

A perennial pioneer in occupant protection, the S-Class looks out for its own and even those around it with its advancements in safety. Among them, the benefits of front air bags can be extended to the rear cabin.

Rear-cabin front air bags not available on S 500 models.

Easier in here. Safer out there

An advanced suite of driver assists is standard. Systems and sensors network, look ahead and into adjacent lanes, and tap into GPS and real-time data to sharpen anticipation, quicken reaction, and adapt more smoothly.

Thousands of stitches, seamless result

Finely tailored leathers and exotic wood and metal trim envelop fresh technology in an unfading dedication to craftsmanship and detail. From switches to speakers, stitchwork to sculpting, every element creates a harmony of form and function.

In the background, in the moment

You can select, pair and sequence the 64-color ambient lighting to match your mood of the moment, or to help you set an entirely new one. Available active lighting can offer driving alerts, or warn passengers if they start to open a door while a vehicle is approaching.

Fill the air, feel the sound

Standard Burmester® 3D Surround Sound offers immersive, personalized audio. A High-End 4D option integrates resonators into the seats for music you can feel. Ear-level speakers deliver driving information to the driver rather than the whole cabin.

Distinctive lines, distinguished bloodlines

Standard Luxury Line styling includes crisp chrome accents and a choice of three 19-inch or 20-inch wheel options. The elegantly aggressive AMG Line and black-accented Night Package offer AMG® wheel options up to 21 inches.

Turbo torque, electric boost

An innovative hybrid Integrated Starter Generator can add torque electrically and make ECO Start/Stop even smoother. The S 500 429-hp inline-6 turbo is further boosted by an electric auxiliary compressor. Twin turbos help the S 580 V8 output 496 hp.

Plug-in power, hybrid freedom

The new S 580e takes the turbo-gas/electric S-Class to the next level. A Plug-In Hybrid electric motor can take you up to XXX miles before needing the gas engine, and recharge at home in just a few hours. Optional DC fast charging can top it up to 80 percent in 20 minutes.

Tighter turns, smoother maneuvers

Rear-axle steering can help ease parking and city maneuvers. At speed, the rear wheels can turn with the fronts for swifter lane changes, or adapt based on driving dynamics for more stable handling. A 10-degree system is part of the Executive Line, while the AMG Line offers a 4.5-degree option.

Moving modes, for changing moods

Effortless or engaging, as you wish: DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes let you dial in performance with a few taps. The 9-speed transmission, suspension and more sharpen in Sport mode, ease up in ECO, or you can set up a mode of your own.

Level-headed, surefooted

Available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive sends torque to the tires that can best turn traction into action, from winter's wrath to tight turns. AIRMATIC® air suspension can adapt at each wheel to optimize agility and poise. Available E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL can watch the road ahead and respond in milliseconds.

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is not available on the S 580e.
