2 Answers
There are a total of ten generations of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Engines of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class: The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class uses four engines in total, which are a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, a medium-power version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. Suspension: The front suspension of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension also uses a double-wishbone independent suspension. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has relatively strong power, with even the base model's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 299 horsepower. All four engines are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT), which offers smooth shifting and excellent reliability and durability.
I've been following automotive history for a long time. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class truly has 11 generations, starting with the first-generation Ponton model in 1951, known as the W187 series, which still had a simple mechanical structure. Later, in the 1960s, the third and fourth generations were updated rapidly, introducing more safety elements, such as the W116 in 1972, which was the first to feature ABS. In the 1990s, the W140 was "tank-level," incredibly sturdy but fuel-thirsty. After 2000, the W220 and W221 incorporated electronic comfort features, and now the W223 comes with comprehensive intelligent driving assistance. This model series has pushed industry standards forward with each generation, witnessing the leap from post-World War II revival to the digital era. I think it's like a living history book, carrying the dreams and innovative spirit of generations of car enthusiasts.
