The body dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S600 are 5230mm in length, 1871mm in width, and 1485mm in height. Below is a related introduction to the Mercedes-Benz S600: 1. The Mercedes-Benz S600 is the top model of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class series, equipped with a new V12 engine with a displacement of 5.5 liters. The S600 is only available in the long-wheelbase version. Apart from retaining the traditional 60-degree cylinder angle, this new V12 engine has no similarities with its predecessor. 2. The comfort of Mercedes-Benz vehicles has always been well-regarded. Unlike other S-Class models, the S600 does not use air springs but conventional coil springs, supplemented by the Active Body Control (ABC) system, which is identical to that of the Mercedes CL600 coupe. The vehicle is equipped with a total of 6 catalytic converters (4 installed on the firewall and 2 under the car) and 6 sensors, ensuring the conversion of exhaust gases. Due to the three-valve technology and the heat-insulated exhaust pipes, the thermal loss of the emission system is reduced. The catalytic converters on the firewall can reach normal operating temperature within seconds of a cold start, meaning the S600 already meets the EU-4 emission standards implemented in 2005.
I've driven the Mercedes-Benz S600 a few times, and its size is truly impressive. It's about 5.2 meters long, nearly 1.9 meters wide, and around 1.5 meters tall, with a wheelbase of approximately 3.2 meters. It feels incredibly stable to drive, especially when cruising on the highway. The cabin is spacious, with enough room in the back seat to comfortably fit three people without feeling cramped. However, parking can be a bit tricky—you need to look for larger parking spots, especially in older urban neighborhoods, and take turns more carefully. As a high-end luxury sedan, its large size is primarily designed to enhance ride comfort and a sense of luxury, making it noticeably more imposing than regular compact cars. For daily driving, fuel consumption is naturally higher, but if you're after comfort and prestige, the size isn't really an issue.
